I had throat pain a few days ago, and though that's gotten better, I've started having this cough. Also, I noticed a small flap-like skin beneath my tongue, deep in my throat. I think it's my epiglottis. Is it normal to be able to see the epiglottis? I don't seem to have any other symptoms but just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about.

Doctor I just found out I have tonsils and I'm thinking about getting surgery to remove them. How long will it take to recover after the surgery? Will I be able to talk normally right away? I work night shifts and can't really take time off so I'm worried about how this will affect my job. How well does recovery usually go?

for P/E ENT specialist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with constant ear blockages and this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and chest ever since I got over COVID three months ago. It's weird because whenever I try to spit, I get this sharp pain in my ear, throat, and chest all at once. I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's getting hard to breathe sometimes. Could this be related to post-COVID symptoms? I also had anxiety and palpitations after COVID and was on ivabradine and Nexito Plus. Any idea what's going on with me?
