I'm having a bit of an issue with rice sometimes getting stuck in my throat, and then I end up with hiccups. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm eating too fast. Could this be causing the problem? And do you have any tips on how I can avoid this from happening?

Question

Ive been feeling this sharp sensation on the right side of my neck whenever I drink water. It started with cold water, but now it happens with regular water too. It's been a couple of days since this started. Any idea what could be causing this?

Question

I'm waking up with a really weird sensation, like there's something rubbery or mucus-like stuck in my throat or behind my voice box. I've had post-nasal drip before and even saw an ENT specialist about it. I don't have any allergies. I had a CT scan a couple of months ago, and it showed minimal mucosal thickening in my right maxillary sinus. I also used a Netipot for about a week. Now, I'm dealing with some nasal obstruction. Could this obstruction be the reason for the rubbery mucus feeling?

Question

I'm having some ear pain for the past three days. It gets worse when I burp or do something similar, and now the pain seems to be spreading in my ear. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?
