Lymph Node trouble

Husband having trouble breathing especially when laying down, lots of gaging, and trouble swallowing.  Been to the Dr several times.  Elevated white count, enlarged lymph node in neck, one with black spot.  Still 3 weeks until we see the ENT Dr.  What can I do to help him while we wait 3 weeks to see a specialist?

Some times he has trouble swallowing, he seems to gag and choke a lot.  Never mentioned that it felt like food got stuck.

Hi, have you tried any OTC asthma medications?

It's possible this has to do with immune cells called Mast Cells more than anything.


Does he ever have food get stuck on the way down?
