I'm a bit worried because during dinner I think a piece of food might've gone down my windpipe. I didn't have a choking fit or anything, but I did feel like at some point the food left my windpipe. Now it's got me wondering because I still feel like there's something stuck in my throat. Breathing and talking are fine, but I keep coughing since it feels like something's in there. Is it possible I might've just coughed it up and swallowed it, and my throat's just irritated?

Yes you are right,that coul be because of irritation nothing else,because windpipe cannot accomodate anything other than air,hence no need to worry,consume warm foods untill you feel better.

Question

I've had my ears blocked for the past 4 days, and I think it might be due to a cold I had. Not completely sure, though. It sometimes feels like there's water or some fluid in there, and occasionally, when I sneeze, the blockage goes away for a few seconds, but then it comes back. There's a little pain too, which is why I've been taking oxalgin tablets and using drep ear drops. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different?

Question

I've been having neck pain since last week and even had a fever for one night. When I sleep, I usually have some discomfort, so I tried going without a pillow, which helped for a few days. I've also been sleeping under a fan at night. Today, I noticed a lump in my tonsil area on the left side of my neck, and theres pain on the right side, but the swelling is only on the left. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be causing this and how I can treat it. Any insights you can provide?
