I'm dealing with a bit of a situation hereIve been getting a slight cough, and whenever I cough, there's this small gel-like droplet that's all sticky on my tongue. It's kind of weird. I dont have any fever or cold symptoms though. I've been doing saltwater gargles at home to try and ease it a bit. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

View allI'm just wondering about how long you can use ear drops after opening them. If the bottle says they expire in November 2022, does that mean they're good to use until then, even if I've opened it?
After opening a bottle of ear drops, it is generally safe to use them for about 4 weeks. However, it is important to check the specific instructions on the bottle for any recommended duration of use after opening. If the bottle indicates an expiration date of November 2022, you can use the ear drops until that date as long as you follow proper storage instructions and there are no signs of contamination or changes in the appearance or smell of the drops. Make sure to recap the bottle tightly after each use and store it in a cool, dry place.

I was diagnosed with an antrochoanal polyp after a CT scan and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm okay with surgery but I'm curious to know if my polyp is considered big or small since I don't have facial pain and only one nostril is 40% blocked while the other is fine. I had a sinus infection about 10 months ago could that be related? Do I really need surgery?
An antrochoanal polyp's size isn't determined by nostril blockage alone. While a 40% blockage is noticeable, it's the polyp's location and extent, as seen in your CT scan, that dictates its size and potential for surgery. Your recent sinus infection could have contributed to the polyp's growth, and while some patients may need surgery, others may respond well to medical treatments. Your doctor's recommendation for surgery suggests a need for complete removal to address your symptoms and prevent recurrence.

I'm really worried about this polyp-type thing I discovered below my right tonsil. I've attached some images for you to see. There's a whitish thing in there too, it's just an earbud so please ignore that. Lately, I've been feeling this bump when I swallow and it's making me anxious if it's something serious or possibly malignant. I'm only 22 and it's been stressing me out. Could you help me understand what this might be?
