Feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's super annoying and irritating. There's no pain, but I'm really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of this feeling?

It sounds like you may be experiencing globus pharyngeus, which is the sensation of a lump or something stuck in the throat without any actual blockage. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try gargling with warm salt water, drinking plenty of fluids, and sucking on throat lozenges. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to reduce any acid reflux that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, you may consider using an over-the-counter mucolytic agent like Guaifenesin (e.g. Mucinex) to help thin out any mucus that could be causing the sensation.

View allI've quit smoking about 40 days ago, and in the beginning, I had a lot of ENT pain, stomach issues, a really bad cough, and it felt heavy when I breathed. Things have gotten a bit better, but I'm still having throat pain, some swelling behind my ear, heaviness in my chest, and it hurts when I swallow, plus there's ear pain too. Are these normal withdrawal symptoms, or could it be something else I should worry about?
Yes these could be withdrawl symptoms,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate help

I'm 48 and just found out I have a throat tumor. The doctor near me recommended surgery but I'm worried are there other treatment options I could explore before going under the knife?
Depending on tumor type, radiation or chemo may be options—get a biopsy and second opinion before deciding.

I'm having some pain in my right ear and I think there might be an insect in there. I've been hearing these crackling and painful noises every now and then, only on that side. I tried using coconut oil and some warm water, but the noises haven't stopped. What should I do? Is there anything else I can try, or should I see a doctor?
No,it's not possible for an insect to settle down there,the noise could be due to fluid movement which is due to ear effusion, practice valsalva, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
