I accidentally swallowed a fish thorn and since then, it feels like something's stuck in my throat. Whenever I swallow, there's this little pain, and I'm not sure if the thorn is still there or if it caused a scratch. I've tried some home remedies, but it hasn't gotten better. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?

I've had a blocked nose for 10 years after a nose injury that made my bone tilt to the left side. Could this be the main reason I keep getting colds? Is there a permanent fix like surgery that could finally clear this up for good?

septoplasty is advised .

I've got this weird thing where the skin is kind of hanging from the tip of my uvula, and it's touching my tongue. It's giving me this constant tickling sensation. There's no swelling or anything, but it's pretty annoying. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

that could be pharungitis,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been feeling like something's crawling in my ear for about a week now, but theres nothing actually there. I haven't been in a place where this could happen. It all kicked off when I had a cold and a runny nose. When I was clearing my nose, I felt pressure releasing from my ear too, which Ive never experienced before. Since then, my ear's just felt weird. Sometimes at night, I wake up because it feels like something's moving in my ear. It's happened a couple of times. Could this be something to worry about?

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
