I'm a bit concerned because just within the last day, I've been feeling this tightness in my throat. Sometimes it even feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen in. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

View allmy mom has about 30% hearing loss and we're wondering if surgery is the only option or are there other treatments that could help her
For 30% hearing loss, hearing aids are usually the primary treatment option, rather than surgery. Hearing aids amplify sounds and improve speech understanding, especially in quiet environments. While surgery, like a cochlear implant, might be considered for more severe hearing loss, it's not the initial approach for moderate hearing loss

I've been dealing with this bothersome phlegm stuck in the back of my throat and it's not going away. I've tried gargling but it hasn't worked and now there's also this unpleasant odor coming from my mouth. What can I do to get rid of it?
It sounds like you might be dealing with post-nasal drip or mucus buildup in the throat. Try drinking warm water with honey and lemon to soothe the throat, and consider using a saline nasal spray or steam inhalation to help clear the mucus. If it persists, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

I've been having pain and occasional wetness in my left ear, and my doctor recommended surgery to close a hole. Is the surgery absolutely necessary or can this be treated with allopathy or homeopathy medicines? Also, I've noticed a slight hearing loss if I go through with the surgery, could the problem come back? What are the chances of success with the surgery?
A small ear hole can be managed with medication if dry and infection-free. If persistent wetness or hearing loss exists, surgery is advised. Recurrence is rare with proper post-op care.
