Question

I'm a bit worried because it always feels like there's a lump or something stuck in my throat. Eating is fine, and I don't have trouble swallowing food, but when I just swallow my saliva, it feels like there's something tight in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I've had a swollen uvula for almost a week now, and it's making me cough a lot because it keeps touching my tongue. Drinking hot tea helps a bit, but only for a short time. I'm in 10th standard, and this is making it really hard to read and study. What could be causing this, and what should I do to feel better?

Question

Ive been experiencing this annoying beep noise in my left ear for quite some time now. It gets more noticeable when Im in a quiet place and seems to disappear when theres a lot of noise around me. The doctor mentioned it might be tinnitus and gave me some meds, but they dont seem to be working. Could it really be tinnitus, or might it be something else?
