I accidentally swallowed a small sharp chicken bone and now it feels like it's stuck in my throat. Is this something normal, or should I be worried about any potential danger? How can I deal with this problem?

Accidentally swallowing a sharp chicken bone can be concerning as it may cause injury or irritation in the throat. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, pain when swallowing, drooling, or chest pain. In the meantime, you can try eating soft foods and drinking plenty of water to help the bone pass through the digestive tract. If you experience severe pain or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical help.

I'm feeling really uncomfortable with this persistent issue. For about ten days now, I've been experiencing pain, itching, and a pinching sensation in my throat. It also feels like there's some kind of blockage. On top of that, my nose feels blocked, and I've had ongoing pain with a swollen sensation in my right ear. Could this be due to strep throat, and should I be worried? What steps should I take to get relief?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection. For Strep Throat, you can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 10 days. For the blockage sensation in your nose, you can use Flonase nasal spray 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. And for the pain and swelling sensation in your right ear, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief.

I had sinus surgery back in 2011 for allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. These days I don't have the usual sneezing, cold, or post nasal drip but I keep getting this low-grade fever with body aches and a heavy feeling in my forehead. Could this still be sinus-related even though I don't have other symptoms? What treatment would work best and how long before I see results? Homeopathy didn't fully help last time but I'm hoping there's still a way to manage this.
