I have numbness and weakness of face after eardrum rupture. What to do?
Hello doctor,
10 days ago, my left eardrum ruptured by my mistake. The doctor said that it will heal on its own in two weeks time. He did not prescribe any medicine. Now, from two days, there is numbness and weakness on the left side of my face. There is mild pain around the ear, jawline, backside of the head. I have anxiety problem too. What should I do (any tests)?

I notice a lump in my neck after a throat infection. Could this be from the virus?
Hello doctor,
On Sunday evening, I went to bed with a stuffy nose and in the morning, I woke up with body aches and chills and a sore throat. I look at my throat in the mirror and notice pus starting on my tonsils. The next day, my tonsils are covered in pus, painful to swallow. Body aches and chills continue. So, I went to the doctor and it was negative for strep. Two days later, my symptoms are not getting better. So, I go back and they tested me for mono which was negative. They sent off my culture and it was negative for bacteria. Today, my throat is getting better. Later that day, I noticed a lump on the side of my neck. It is painless and moves slightly when I press on it. It is about the size of my pointer fingertip. Could this be from the virus?

Why do I have trouble pronouncing words and restricted voice due to mucus in throat?
Hi doctor,
I have been having trouble pronouncing words correctly and feel that my voice is restricted due to mucus in my throat. There are certain times, especially when I am eating when I have a runny nose, and this is when I find that it is much easier to speak freely and maintain a consistent voice. If I take medications to thin the mucus in my throat, it makes it even more difficult to speak. But, when I suck on hard candy, it is easier to speak. I can still talk but it is very uncomfortable because I cannot speak with the inflections that I want or the tone of voice that I want because I cannot control my voice. An ENT did a laryngoscopy and did not find anything.
