I'm a bit worried because during dinner I think a piece of food might've gone down my windpipe. I didn't have a choking fit or anything, but I did feel like at some point the food left my windpipe. Now it's got me wondering because I still feel like there's something stuck in my throat. Breathing and talking are fine, but I keep coughing since it feels like something's in there. Is it possible I might've just coughed it up and swallowed it, and my throat's just irritated?

Yes you are right,that coul be because of irritation nothing else,because windpipe cannot accomodate anything other than air,hence no need to worry,consume warm foods untill you feel better.

View allI've been dealing with mouth breathing and waking up with a dry mouth around 4am, which sometimes leaves my throat sore. Could this be sleep apnea? It started about 5 months ago, around the same time I gained 5kg. An ENT recommended nose surgery and a CT scan, but I'm not sure if surgery is really necessary or if it's just a breathing issue
Yes, waking up with a dry mouth, sore throat, and mouth breathing could indicate sleep apnea, especially given the weight gain and timing of the symptoms. The ENT's recommendation for nose surgery and a CT scan is a normal step in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea, but surgery isn't always the first or only option

What precautions should I take after an eardrum surgery and how long should I avoid washing my hair to prevent water from entering the ear
After eardrum surgery, it's crucial to keep the ear dry and avoid activities that could put pressure on the ear. Generally, you should avoid washing your hair or showering for at least a week after surgery and for up to 6 weeks, you should prevent water from entering the operated ear. To do this, you can use a cotton ball coated with Vaseline to form a barrier before showering or washing your hair

I can clearly see and feel a yellow polyp-like substance when I look in the mirror or insert my finger into my nostril. A doctor mentioned polyps back in 2018 and said I might need surgery, but I never got it done. Now I can't exhale properly through that nostril, and when I try to inhale forcefully, it feels like something is vibrating near the area. Is surgery the only option for polyps, or can medication help shrink them?
Surgery is advised to the patient,also ent opinion is advised and the surgery is called polypectomy.
