I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.

For snoring, consider over-the-counter (OTC) options or consult a doctor for prescription medications. OTC options: - SnoreStop (contains natural ingredients like eucalyptus) - SnoreEase (a homeopathic remedy) - Nasal strips or dilators (e.g., Breathe Right) Prescription options (consult a doctor): - Decongestants or nasal steroids (e.g., fluticasone) - Sleep apnea treatments (if diagnosed) Lifestyle changes: - Weight loss (if applicable) - Sleeping on her side - Elevating the head of the bed - Avoiding sedatives or alcohol before bedtime

I've been reading up on the benefits of taking cold showers, and I'm considering making it a part of my daily morning routine. But I've got a slight sinus infection right now and I'm worried that a cold shower might make it worse. Do you think this is something I should avoid, or is it still okay to go ahead with?
Taking daily cold showers with a slight sinus infection may exacerbate your condition, as cold water can cause nasal passages to constrict, increase mucus production, and potentially worsen sinus congestion; however, some people find that cold showers help reduce inflammation and improve circulation, which may alleviate sinus symptoms.

I have a hole in my eardrum and I'm really confused about which doctor to see for surgery. I've already consulted three doctors Adhana Clinic, GTB Hospital, and Dr. Gill in Agra and they all recommended surgery. How do I decide which doctor to go with for the procedure? I'm worried about making the right choice.
Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
