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 just found out I have mild DNS on the right side of my nose and my bilateral inferior turbinates are hypertrophied. What does all this mean for my breathing or overall nose health? Is this something I should be worried about, and are there any treatments I should consider? I'm a bit concerned about how this might affect me day-to-day.

No need to worry do steam inhalation and consume warm foods ,if it's bothering you much, visit ENT doctor for surgical correction.

I've been dealing with a lot of issues because of DNS and have cholesteatoma in my right ear. I need to get both septoplasty and cholesteatoma surgery done as soon as possible. Can you tell me what the cost for these surgeries would be in Hyderabad and whether they're usually covered under medical insurance policies?

I've had a blocked nose for 10 years after a nose injury that made my bone tilt to the left side. Could this be the main reason I keep getting colds? Is there a permanent fix like surgery that could finally clear this up for good?

septoplasty is advised .
