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.

Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to evaluate the bump on the back of your tongue and the uneasy feeling of something stuck in your throat

View allCan getting slapped or hit by a ball on one side of the face really mess up both ears? I'm kinda worried about how that could affect my ear drums. Can you help me understand the risks here?
A slap or being hit by a ball on one side of the face can potentially cause damage to both eardrums, as the shockwave from the impact can transmit through the skull and affect the inner ear structures, including the eardrums, on both sides, a condition known as bilateral tympanic membrane perforation or bilateral eardrum damage.

I'm experiencing some swelling on my uvula and it really hurts at the back of my throat. It kind of feels like there's something stuck in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Swelling on the uvula with pain and feeling like something is stuck in your mouth could be due to inflammation or infection. This condition is known as uvulitis. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and using throat lozenges to soothe the pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing benzocaine for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm pretty worried because my mom just had an endoscopy and they found her left vocal cord isn't working right the report mentioned something about left side vocal cord paralysis. The doctors said there's no infection and no clear cause, calling it idiopathic. They've suggested a CT scan, but I'm really anxious about what might be causing this. Can you shed some light on what could lead to vocal cord paralysis like this?
