I completely panicked last year when I had swollen neck nodes and thought it was nasopharyngeal cancer growing rapidly. It turned out to be just a chronic throat infection that cleared up with antibiotics. Try to stay calm, most swollen glands are not cancer.
Beta, for throat and nose blockages we often do salt water gargles or take ginger tea, which is good for temporary relief. But if there is a real growth inside, it can spread to the neck nerves quite steadily. Do not rely on home herbs, go to a big hospital.
My elders told me to use warm eucalyptus steam for my blocked nose, but when the headache didn't stop, we went to the ENT. The doctor explained that these tumors can progress over a few months. It is always best to trust the clinical scans and medical advice.
I understand your worry completely. Please consult an oncologist immediately as its growth rate can vary and needs professional diagnosis.
My brother went through therapy for this. It can grow silently behind the nose for months before showing symptoms like blocked ears or neck lumps. My realistic tip is to ask for an endoscopy of the nasopharynx right away if you have unexplained ear blocking for weeks.
At my age, every small headache makes me wonder if my time is up, but yes, these things can grow over months. Best to let the doctor peer down your throat with their tiny cameras instead of playing doctor yourself on Google.
I was researching this and read that because of its location, it often gets detected late because it grows quietly. By the time neck swelling or nose congestion starts, it might have been growing for several months.

As someone managing diabetes, I know how important it is to keep our immune system strong with a low-sugar diet. However, if a tumor is growing in the nasopharynx, it can progress regardless of what you eat. Please get an ENT consultation quickly.
According to most medical logs and tracking data, nasopharyngeal tumors can grow and spread to neck lymph nodes in a matter of months. I'd highly recommend scheduling a consultation through a health app or visiting an ENT specialist for a proper checkup immediately.
I understand how your mind must be spinning with the worst thoughts right now, it is so exhausting. This type of cancer can grow at varying speeds, but please don't torture yourself with online articles. Let a doctor do an exam to give you a clear picture.
