instruction: hi doctor I am a 29 year old female I have had ear pressure and fullness since may of last year in my left ear only I had a hearing test that showed mild hearing loss about a week ago I noticed a small lump maybe in my neck it feels hard but hurts when I push on it sometimes I do not have an ent appointment for a few weeks and I am worried I might have nasopharyngeal cancer
output: hello the chances for it being nic is minimal to rule it out we need to do a nasal endoscopy what hearing loss came out in the test conductive or sensorineural did you take any antibiotic to remove the neck lump in case it is due to any infection I suggest you try a course of amoxicillin clavulanic acid appropriate for your weight so that the lump goes off if it is due to some infection if you have the report of audiometry please upload the same
