I blew my nose earlier and the pain was awful. I passed gas a while ago and again pain. It felt like an empty hole and hurt very much. Help
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The history regarding constipation has to be checked as gas history present. Your local rectal examination has to be done to check any pile or other pathology if present. Your enlarged lymph nodes can be evaluated further in form of biopsy for histopathology examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
