I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone about 11 days ago and it still feels like its stuck in my throat. I havent noticed it passing through yet. What should I do now?

If it is lodged in the throat it would cause severe pain and many other worse symptoms,and its been 11 days,soo it might not be there in your throat,soo u can neglect it and consume plenty of water to wash if any,ifits bothering you much, visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and follow up.

View allI've been having this strange sound in my ear, like a buzzing or hissing, and I think it's tinnitus. It's been going on for about four months now, and it only happens in one ear. It's making it really hard for me to sleep or focus during the day. I've read that tinnitus might not be treatable, and I'm feeling really stuck. Could you maybe give me some advice or guidance on what I should do next?
Feeling like something is stuck in your throat can be unsettling! Given your tobacco and pan masala addiction, it's essential to take this symptom seriously. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF)_: A precancerous condition common in tobacco and pan masala users. 2. _Tobacco-related lesions_: Leukoplakia, erythroplakia, or other lesions can cause throat irritation. 3. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing up into the throat can cause discomfort. 4. _Throat infection or inflammation_: Bacterial or viral infections can cause throat irritation. _Cancer Risk_ While it's impossible to diagnose cancer without a medical examination, your tobacco and pan masala addiction increases your risk of developing oral, throat, or esophageal cancer. _Urgent Action Required_ 1. _Consult an ENT specialist or oncologist_: Schedule an appointment for a thorough examination and diagnosis. 2. _Get a biopsy or imaging tests_: If necessary, undergo tests to rule out cancer or other serious conditions. 3. _Quit tobacco and pan masala_: Seek professional help to overcome your addiction and reduce your cancer risk. Don't delay seeking medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.

My doctor recommended sinus surgery costing around 30k but I'm wondering if laser treatment could be an option instead what's the average cost for that and would it work for my condition?
Laser sinus treatment, also known as Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction (RTR) or Laser Turbinate Reduction, can be a viable alternative to sinus surgery for some individuals, and the average cost can range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 40,000. While laser treatment may be effective for certain conditions, it's essential to discuss your specific case with your doctor to determine if it's appropriate and if it will address your particular sinus issues

I accidentally took two Sinarest tablets just a few minutes apart because I forgot I had already taken one. My prescription says to take one in the morning and one at night. Could this be a big problem? I'm really worried. What should I do?
no need to worry since it is only 2 tablets that you have swallowed
