I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery four days ago and I'm not sure what foods are best for healing right now. What kind of diet should I follow to recover faster and avoid any complications? Are there specific foods that help with swelling or that I should stay away from?

View allI've been having this weird sensation in my throat for the past month. It feels like something's stuck there, but it doesn't hurt. Sometimes it's right at the top of my throat, other times it's lower down. Eating and swallowing are totally fine, no problems there. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?
From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat without any pain or difficulty swallowing. This sensation is known as globus pharyngeus. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, post-nasal drip, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help alleviate this sensation, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) to see if it improves. Additionally, drinking plenty of water, avoiding acidic or spicy foods, and practicing relaxation techniques may also be beneficial. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing some pain in my throat that's been going on for about two weeks now. It only hurts when I swallow saliva, but not when I'm eating or drinking anything. The pain seems to come and go, and there's no pain when I move my neck. I don't have a cough or anything, but when I'm distracted or busy, I sometimes don't notice it as much. I'm really concerned and a bit scared that it might be something serious like throat cancer. Could you help me understand what could be causing this?
