Lymph node in groin
Hello,
1.5 months back I had swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck below my jaw line. I was prescribed Cepodem for 7 days and an USGA. USG showed reactive nodes over 2 cm in length and loss of hilium. Now my neck lymph node have came down. Both side feels same. Previously I could feel the right side. There is no cough or cold. Recently I am able to feel lymph nodes in my groin area. More prominent in my left groin by touching. Apparently the skin is not swollen currently. Is it swollen or is it normal to feel groin and inner thigh lymph nodes. I have slight back pain at some postures and very occasional pain in middle chest. No problem in breathing or swallowing. Just chest sometimes hurts while shouting. 1.5 month back chest xray was done due to other reasons and was fine. Is there something to worry about like lymphoma? My general physician told it's just my stress. I have occassion here and there weird pain that goes away.i am pretty scared please help me.

Nausea and gas in 6 year old
My daughter is 6 years old. Weight 23 kg. She has been complaining of nausea for the last couple of days on and off. No vomiting. There's always gas after she feels nausea. This morning she had nausea as soon as she woke up, had gas. She said mild tummy pain for about 5 minutes. She eats only home cooked food. She's lactose intolerant so doesn't have dairy at all. She said she felt better after sometime. Her poop had been normal. 3 days back it was a lighter yellow but was back to normal yest and day before. She also has a bit of cold and very lil phlegm between her nose and throat. I'm not sure if the nausea is due to the phlegm or stomach issue. She coughs once or twice a day and has no sneezing. I have not given her any meds yet. Her regular meds are allegra nasal spray once a day, seroflow in the night. For the may few months duev to adenoids enlargement. Pl advise if I should wait and watch, what the reason could be. I would be grateful. Thank you.

One sided air conduction hearing loss
Hello,
I have one sided hearing loss. I did a pure tone audiometry and left side showed hearing loss. Bone conduction test showed normal values which can be seen in the graph attached above the air conduction graph.
I did have recent flu three weeks and ago and still a bit of cough. I wasn't able to pop my left ear. It pops now but slowly and after popping I still feel pressure. Right ear after popping opens up and I hear better. During the flu I started hearing my own pulse in my left ear which has gotten better as I started feeling better. What would be causing this kind of hearing loss?
I am not able to upload a pic but the bone conduction has all frequencies above 10 db and air conduction in left ear at frequencies of 750hz and 1000hz is at 45 and 50 db.

Breathing difficulty
Hi, I was having breathing difficulty two years back so I consulted a doctor and they said it's because of a deviated septum and insisted on surgery and i had to undergo the surgery immediately. But after that also there was no relief and the doctors said it was all in my head.
So, I consulted a chest specialist and they told me it's an allergy and might me a mild allergic asthma.
I was given Vilor-F and I was still having breathing problems while sleeping. I could not sleep on my right side or straight which is still the case. So, they gave me Pantosec D to be taken on an empty stomach.
I've been taking vilor f since 1.5 years and pantosec d since 6 months everyday. I still can't sleep comfortably, can only sleep on one side otherwise I can't breathe.
Now I've fallen sick with fever and have had intense coughing for 2 days and it's fine now but I can't breathe since last evening. It's getting very difficult. I took the salbutamol inhaler also once this morning.
I have chest tightness

Pain/tenderness/soreness in this area
So, i had cough since 2 months and i had ceftum 500 before for 5 days in the 2nd week of feb but sore throt was there and wasn't going away.
So, on28th feb i showed it to ENT, he prescribed Cepodem xp 325 for 10 days and ab phylline for 10 days as well. So far m doing better. But sonce few days i have pain/tenderness in the area shown in the image. 2 years back i had a wisdom tooth extraction. After a month of that, when i clicked my ears to open up, that time this time of soreness happened. And some variant of zerodol was given to me and it resolved. Same kind of pain is happening again, I remember i tried clicking my ear area recently weeks back. Why is it happening? As i am already on antibiotics, I don't think this is an infection? Please help me. Do I need to take anti inflammatory as well? If yes, please suggest. Thank you. All bloodwork came fine.
And yes, if i press that depression area and open my mouth, when my finger is rubbed with bone, it hurts.
