I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.

I'm a bit worried because I've been having some pain and swelling on the right side of my neck where a lymph node is located. I went for an FNAC test, and the report says there's a right submandibular swelling, but the stain for AFB is negative. The findings mentioned something about a necrotizing granulomatous lesion. I'm really anxious about what this means. Could you help me understand this condition a bit better and let me know if it's something I could pass on to others?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a blocked right ear for about two years now, and despite checking it out several times, no one can say what's wrong. Lately, I've also had this feeling of mucus at the back of my throat that I can't seem to cough up. It's really affecting my daily life because whenever I talk, it feels like there's an echo of my own voice in my head. What could be causing this and how can I make it go away?
