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?

View allMy dad has had a swollen throat for two years, and his voice changed because of it. A few months ago, a CT scan showed swollen vocal cords on both sides. The doctor prescribed meds and suggested minor surgery, but he didn't go through with it. Two days ago, he woke up coughing blood what could be causing this and what should we do next?
Coughing up blood, especially in someone with a history of throat issues and swollen vocal cords, is a serious symptom that requires immediate medical attention. While the cause could be related to the existing vocal cord condition, it could also indicate a more serious problem, like a tear or infection in the throat or even a potentially dangerous condition like throat cancer. It is imperative to seek emergency medical care right away.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat lately. It's kind of uncomfortable and sometimes there's soreness and pain in both my throat and neck. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of throat irritation or inflammation. To help alleviate the discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain relief. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges like Strepsils to soothe your throat. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
