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 having this sharp, sticking pain in my right ear that comes every 15 minutes or so, but it's really brief, maybe 2 or 3 seconds each time. It almost feels like something is touching my eardrum for a quick moment and then it stops. This has been going on for a week now. A few days ago, I had a mild fever and cold, but otherwise, I'm feeling better now. The pain isn't that severe, but Im worried if this could be the start of something more serious. What do you think this could be?

That could be ear effusion,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,and practice valsalva for better relief.

I'm really worried because I think I have a hair stuck in my throat. It feels so uncomfortable. Is there a way to get it out on my own, without having to see an ENT doctor? Is it harmful if it stays there? Would love to hear your advice!

Nothing happens just drink water it gets excreted.

I've been dealing with this weird sensation in my ears, like there's an airlock or maybe mucus shifting around. It all started when I had a bad cough and cold. Those are gone now, but the ear sensation is still there. I've tried closing my mouth and ears and blowing through my ears to fix it. Any idea what's going on or what I should do next?
