I'm a bit confused about something and hope you can help. Can a deviated nasal septum actually cause chest pain? Also, if someone has DNS but their oxygen saturation levels are good, should they still be worried? Would love some clarity!

View allI've had this pain on the middle right side of my throat when I yawn or swallow saliva for about 3 weeks now. Plus, I have this weird lump sensation in my throat. I went to the doctor, and she didnt see anything wrong, but didnt explain why this is happening. It's really been worrying me because I'm generally healthy, eat well, and I'm pretty active. I do drink sometimes and smoke a few cigarettes a day. What's going on? Should I be concerned?
that could be mucosal congestion,consume warm foods and take warm fluids,it itself heal.

I've been dealing with a sore throat since last week, and it was really red. My uvula got swollen, and it felt like it was touching my tongue. Now I'm feeling better, but my uvula still looks bigger than usual, and the tip seems black. Plus, my right tonsil is a bit swollen. Should I be worried about these symptoms?
You may have had a case of acute pharyngitis with uvulitis, and now you are experiencing some residual inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and inflammation, you can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help with the swelling and discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I have hearing loss and my doctor recommended ear surgery because there's some damage to the layers in my ear and a small hole. Is there any alternative to surgery? Can homeopathy help repair this or should I see a good homeopathic doctor? Here are my test results what do you suggest?
The recommended ear surgery likely refers to tympanoplasty, a procedure to repair a damaged eardrum (tympanic membrane). This surgery can improve hearing, especially if a hole in the eardrum (perforation) or damage to the surrounding layers is causing hearing loss. Tympanoplasty involves using a graft (tissue or synthetic material) to patch or reconstruct the damaged eardrum.
