Had sinus infection. Have knot on head, stiff neck and fullness in ears and eyes. What's wrong?

Thanks for writing to us
It will be helpful if you give more information about your knot like :-
1. How long have you had the knot?
2. What is the size of the knot? Whether the size has increased or is constant?
3. Is it associated with any pain?
4. Is it fixed or mobile?
Fullness in your eyes and ears can be due to sinus infection.
You should take antihistaminic medicine like Fenofexadine 120 mg once a day along with decongestant like phenylepherine twice a day after getting examined by your doctor. Steam inhalation will also help in relieving symptoms of sinusitis. Paracetamol can be taken if you are having pain/fever.
I think if you could send a picture of the knot, it would be very helpful. A clinical examination would however be necessary. Depending on the findings, we would need a FNAC/biopsy. This will help in knowing the cause of the swelling. Management can be planned accordingly.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any more questions, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.

MD Dear Dr, I am 30 years Male. I had productive cough in morning for last 2 months and I was suffering from sinusitis also. The sputum was green. Now the cough is gone and only sinusitis remains, no that much sputum. I done a chest x-ray last week which came normal. However doctor told a elevation in Diaphragm and enlagement of heart. What will be the reason of this?. Active Pulmonoray TB not there, but will it be Miliary TB symptom or Amoebic Liver Abscess or anything else?? Please advice me for the next step
MD About a month ago I heard a loud noise in my right ear and got dizzy. Then two weeks later I had upper respiratory and my right ear looked irritated. I was prescribed z pack. Then two weeks after that I felt I couldnt swallow, my skin on my neck was stretching, pressure in my face, and dizzy. I went back to the doctor and he said both ears were irritated and I probably had sinus infection, even though I had no mucus. He prescribed amoxicillin and advil congestion relief. The pressure in my head at times was uncomfortable to a point where I had to look in the mirror and make sure my face was not disformed. I went back a few days, even though the other symptoms went away and he ordered an MRI. All came back normal except for a maxillary mucus retention cyst in my right sinus. The doctor said it was very small and should not be causing all this. Last night I went to the er because, the pressure in my nose for the past two days makes me feel as if I am not able to breathe. My right ear and head are numb when I feel the pressure in my right nostril. No matter what I take no mucus or flem is coming out and I get panicky when I feel the pressure and numbness. I have to say the pressure is not as intense these past few days as it was last week but still uncomfortable and scary. The ER doctor just ordered claritin but when I called my doctor that said it would dry me up more and he gave me sudafed which I am now taking. also was on lexapro (2,5mg) for a few years and took a year or so to wean off it correctly. I have been off of it for over two months. Could this be related? I have an appointment with an ENT this week.
MD I am a 53 year old female, 5 ft 3 ins and 13stone 8lbs. about 7 years ago I had a bad chest infection which I didn t take medication for as it happened over the Xmas holidays. Since then, whenever I get a virus or a cold the right side of my throat and chest feels heavy and I get a cough which takes a while to go away. Is this normal? I also suffer from chronic sinusitis which doesn t help as I get a mucus build up on that side of my throat most days
