I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone last night. It didn't hurt going down, but I'm just a bit worried if it might cause me any trouble later on. I had some hot water afterward. Should I be concerned about this?

Usually it will be passed out in your faeces and doesnt cause any problem,no need to worry you can forget about that.

View allI woke up this morning with a really sore and swollen uvula, and it's quite painful. I've had a cough for the past few days and have been using Zeet cough syrup and drinking warm water with honey, which helped a bit, but the irritation is still there in my throat. Today, I also noticed a swollen vulva, and when I was cleaning my nose, there was some blood mixed with mucus. It's Sunday, so I can't see a doctor. What should I do?
either due to stuffy nose, you have been mouth breathing or due to acid reflux, airway mucosa is inflamed. This is the cause of uvular oedema and inflammation. Meet a good ENT Specialist

My eardrum has a hole in it and I heard it's called a ruptured eardrum. I'm not sure whether I should go for medicines or surgery to fix this - which treatment works better and what are the risks of each option?
Most ruptured (perforated) eardrums heal without treatment within a few weeks. Your provider may prescribe antibiotic drops if there's evidence of infection. If the tear or hole in the eardrum doesn't heal by itself, treatment will likely involve procedures to close the tear or hole.

I've been dealing with some sinus issues since I got the Covishield shot about a week ago, and it's got me worried. You see, I've had this sinus pain, there's a lot of white and yellow mucus, and it sometimes hurts around my upper jaw and between my eyes. Oddly, the pain seems to ease up in the morning but gets worse after eating. There are times when I have headaches on either side of my head, just above the ears, and my nose gets blocked too. I've tried steam inhalation with Karvol capsules, and while it helps for a bit, it doesn't last. I'm also using Otrivin for daily nasal wash, but the relief's so short-lived. I met an ENT specialist a couple of months ago for a precautionary checkup about mucormycosis because of my worries, but my KOH test came back negative, and I don't have diabetes. But they did find four nasal polyps through endoscopy. I'm curious to know if the vaccine could be causing these sinus issues or if it's related to something else?
It sounds like you may be experiencing sinusitis, which can be triggered by various factors including viral infections like COVID-19, allergies, or nasal polyps. In your case, the development of sinus symptoms after receiving the Covishield vaccine may be coincidental rather than directly related to the vaccine itself. To help alleviate your symptoms, I recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin-Clavulanate for the sinus infection. Additionally, you can use a nasal corticosteroid spray like Fluticasone to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. For nasal polyps, you can try using a nasal corticosteroid spray as well, but if they are large or causing significant symptoms, surgical removal may be necessary. It's important to continue steam inhalation with Karvpul capsules for relief and Otrivin nasal wash for temporary relief. Make sure to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management of your sinus issues.
