I have really large polyps and my nose feels swollen like a cucumber. I'm dealing with constant blockages, colds, headaches, watery eyes, and sometimes severe face pain. Is there any way to treat this without surgery or is surgery the only option? If I do get surgery, will my nose and nostrils go back to their normal size?

My throat's been hurting for a couple of days now, but its not like a typical sore throat. The pain feels like its on the outside at two specific spots, and it doesnt hurt when I swallow or anything, no cold symptoms either. The pain's just there constantly, whether I talk, sneeze, yawn, or even touch my throat. Eating and drinking seem normal though. Is it okay if I have cold foods or spicy stuff? And should I be doing any gargling since it's not like the usual throat pain we hear about?
Yes, you can eat cold things and normal spicy food. For the pain in your throat, it is advisable to gargle with warm salt water. Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and gargle with it several times a day. This can help reduce inflammation and provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) following the recommended dosage on the package.

I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone about 11 days ago and it still feels like its stuck in my throat. I havent noticed it passing through yet. What should I do now?
If it is lodged in the throat it would cause severe pain and many other worse symptoms,and its been 11 days,soo it might not be there in your throat,soo u can neglect it and consume plenty of water to wash if any,ifits bothering you much, visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and follow up.
