I can clearly see and feel a yellow polyp-like substance when I look in the mirror or insert my finger into my nostril. A doctor mentioned polyps back in 2018 and said I might need surgery, but I never got it done. Now I can't exhale properly through that nostril, and when I try to inhale forcefully, it feels like something is vibrating near the area. Is surgery the only option for polyps, or can medication help shrink them?

View allI've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a while now, below where my Adam's apple is, sort of around the thyroid gland area. I went to see an ENT specialist and he mentioned it might be granular pharyngitis after checking my tonsils, but it just doesn't feel right. It's like the sensation is further down. What do you think could be causing this feeling, and what steps should I take next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat, which could be related to granular pharyngitis. To help alleviate this feeling, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic (benzocaine) to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any inflammation or allergic reactions that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, it would be advisable to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that my mom, who's 55, often feels a cold sensation in her chest, and sometimes it feels like it's stuck in her throat when she's eating. It causes her breathing problems during those times. Do you think we should see a lung specialist or an ENT doctor for this?
Your mom's symptoms, such as feeling cold in the chest, throat blockage while eating, and breathing difficulties, could be related to either a respiratory or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) issue; it's recommended to consult a pulmonologist (lung specialist)

I've had Meniere's disease for about 2 years now and currently trying homeopathic treatment - are there any other treatments or surgeries that could completely cure this condition
No cure exists for Meniere's disease. Some treatments can help lessen how bad vertigo attacks are and how long they last. But there are no treatments for permanent hearing loss. Your healthcare provider may be able to suggest treatments that prevent your hearing loss from getting worse.
