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?

View allI'm really puzzled about this recent issue with my left ear. For the past four days, whenever I sleep, my left ear gets blocked, and I can't seem to hear out of it. I've tried switching from a soft pillow to a harder one, thinking that might be the cause, but it's still happening. In the mornings, I can get it to open by shaking my head for about 20 minutes, but I'm curious why this keeps happening just on the left side. Could you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any solutions?
You may be experiencing Eustachian tube dysfunction, which can cause a feeling of blockage in the ear. I recommend using a decongestant nasal spray such as Afrin (oxymetazoline) to help open up the Eustachian tube and relieve the blockage. You can also try taking an oral decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help reduce congestion in the nasal passages. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help keep the nasal passages moist and aid in relieving the blockage. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've been chewing tobacco for the past 2 years but stopped completely now. My mouth barely opens beyond 2.5 cm and I'm worried it might be oral submucous fibrosis. Really scared of surgery are there any medications that can help improve this?
ent opinion is advised to the patient .
