Question

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.

Question

I've had this strange feeling like water is stuck in my ear for three months now, and it sounds a bit like the ocean in a seashell. My doctor gave me amoxicillin and ear drops and said it was a middle ear infection, but it's been two months and the annoyance hasn't gone away. I even tried going to my acupuncturist for some sinus treatment because I'm always congested and thought it might be linked to my sinuses, but no luck there either. Every day I'm using a heating pad on my face, head, ear, and neck, drinking ginger tea, taking hot showers, and sometimes antihistamines. I also pop my ears a few times daily. What else can I do? It really feels like it might be related to my sinuses since I'm congested often.

Question

I'm a bit worried about this report I got that mentions polypoidal mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus. What exactly does that mean? Is there any future risk I should be aware of?

Question

I've been struggling with a dark ring around my nose, and I just can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I try. Do you have any suggestions or advice on what might help? It's been bothering me, and I'd love to know what could be causing it or how I can treat it.
