I'm really puzzled about this swollen lymph node I've had for 4 months. It's not changing in size at all and sometimes it hurts around my neck where it's swollen. Otherwise, I'm feeling healthy but I've noticed some weird stuff lately. Occasionally, I find what looks like black hair in my phlegm and at times, it's this greenish or greyish color. Plus, there's a kind of pressure in my throat and around my shoulder or neck blade when I take a deep breath. This all seemed to start after I got Covid in April. I also experience daily neck and back pain, probably because of my job, but I'm not completely sure if it's related. I'm just trying to understand what could be causing the swollen lymph node. Could you help me figure this out?

Hey, I've been noticing this weird thing happening lately. Sometimes, these white, grainy bits with a really bad smell come out of my mouth. They've shown up quite a few times now. When I press them, they just fall apart. Any idea what this could be?

I've noticed that my uvula seems quite large and kind of pointy at the end. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this be causing some nasal blockage? I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this.
If uvula size is very large and pointy and causing symptoms like feeling something stuck in your throat and nose blockage, it may require surgical intervention. One common surgery for this condition is uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). However, the decision for surgery should be made after a thorough evaluation by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They may also recommend medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and swelling. It is important to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
