I had surgery yesterday and I've noticed that my uvula has gotten really elongated, almost laying on my tongue. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it normal after surgery or should I get it checked out?

I've been dealing with a sore throat and fever about ten days back. I took antibiotics and got better, but I'm still having this annoying buildup of phlegm and my throat feels irritated. Every time I cough, there's phlegm and occasionally a bit of pain. I'm really looking for something that can help fix this lingering issue. Any advice?

I've been dealing with this issue for the past couple of weeks and it's really starting to worry me. My throat is constantly dry, and it's really painful when I try to swallow my saliva. It's strange though, because I can swallow food and water just fine. This dry throat thing is just nonstop all day and I'm kind of at a loss here. What do you think might be going on? Could it be something serious?

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

I've noticed that when I'm sleeping, it feels like there's less airflow through my right nostril compared to the left. Could there be some kind of blockage causing this? It's been a bit bothersome, so I'm curious about what might be going on.
