Doctor I just found out I have tonsils and I'm thinking about getting surgery to remove them. How long will it take to recover after the surgery? Will I be able to talk normally right away? I work night shifts and can't really take time off so I'm worried about how this will affect my job. How well does recovery usually go?

I'm really worried because my husband has been noticing some blood when he spits every now and then for about a month, and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. We've done a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, a stomach ultrasound, and even an endoscopy for his throat and nose, but everything came back normal. We're not sure what steps to take next or if there's something else we should be checking out. Have you got any advice on what might be happening or what we should do?

I've been dealing with this tinnitus for about 9-10 months now. The first doctor I saw said my left ear looked a bit dull and gave me a decongestant, but that didn't really help. Then another ENT mentioned something about my ear being retracted or RTM. Since then, I've seen multiple doctors and have been on multivitamins and ginkgo. I've got a few questions though. Can RTM stick around for nearly a year, and if it does, could this be the reason for ear pain when I gently use earbuds? Also, when I do the Valsalva maneuver in the morning, I sometimes feel something watery in my ear. This only happens the first time when I wake up. Besides taking all these meds, are there other ways to deal with it? It's hard to sleep with this constant noise, kinda like the sound an old TV makes, and it's there all the time, fluctuating like a stream. Is using warm oil in my ear a good idea? Could an infection be causing all this? I'm really stressed out by all this.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've noticed that my uvula seems quite large and kind of pointy at the end. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this be causing some nasal blockage? I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this.

If uvula size is very large and pointy and causing symptoms like feeling something stuck in your throat and nose blockage, it may require surgical intervention. One common surgery for this condition is uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). However, the decision for surgery should be made after a thorough evaluation by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They may also recommend medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and swelling. It is important to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
