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.

I'm dealing with Allergic Rhinitis Asthma and some level of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I've been using NazomacAF nasal spray in both nostrils every couple of days. Since starting it, my nasal congestion has pretty much vanished and I'm not having any breathing issues. But I'm really curious if it's safe to use this spray long-term when I'm using it once every two days. Also, I haven't seen any improvement with my snoring since I began using it. What should I know about this?

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I've had a hoarse voice for 4 months and was diagnosed with vocal cord polyps. The doctor prescribed meds for 10 days and suggested a voice test. Will my voice return to normal in 10 days or would I need surgery to get it back to normal

It's unlikely your voice will return to normal within 10 days of medication for vocal cord polyps. While medication can help reduce inflammation and swelling, complete recovery often requires more time and potentially other treatments like voice therapy or, in some cases, surgery to remove the polyps. The voice test is likely to assess the extent of the problem and guide further treatment.
