Question

Ive been dealing with this persistent dry cough for years, and I just found out it might be because of an elongated uvula. It keeps tickling and triggering these coughing fits. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do about it or if theres a way to get some relief?

It can be due to Allergy. Surgery is needed if it is very much enlongated.

Hey, I was cleaning my ear today and I think some cotton got stuck in there. Do you know how I might be able to get it out? Is there any medicine or something I can use for this? Im kinda worried about it.

Question

I'm really concerned about a lump I've noticed slightly behind where my left tonsil was removed about 8 years ago. It doesn't hurt and seems to be the same color as the rest of my throat. I don't have any trouble eating, but when I dry swallow or just swallow saliva, it feels like there's phlegm stuck in my throat. It's been there for a couple of months now, and I'm just so aware of it all the time. Is it something I should be worried about, like throat cancer? I've attached a picture too.

Question

I recently had my ear wax removed by an ENT specialist and now everything sounds super loud to me. My own voice even echoes a lot, which is really disturbing. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?
