I'm dealing with nasal polyps and it's been a struggle, especially over the last two years. The right side of my nose has it the worst, and I've noticed that drinking hot beverages seems to make it worse. I'm really not keen on having surgery right now. I've been using Otrivin nasal spray, which helps a bit, but it's just a temporary fix. Could you recommend a permanent solution for this issue?

View allI'm really worried about these bumps under my tonsils in the tonsillar fossa that I've had for around 45 years. They don't grow or cause discomfort, but they don't go away either. Plus, there's some white stuff on my tonsils. I saw an ENT in December who checked everything and said it was normal, suggesting I gargle with saline water or hydrogen peroxide. But I'm just wondering if these bumps will ever go away on their own or if I'm stuck with them forever. What do you think?
No need to worry usually they could be self limiting have a follow up with your doctor after 1 month

I have a hole in my right middle ear and I'm worried about the complications it might cause. Can it heal naturally with things like steam or other home remedies? How serious is the surgery for this and what's the procedure like? I'd really prefer a natural way to fix it if possible.
A hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) can heal on its own, especially if it's small or caused by a recent injury or infection. However, most cases, especially those involving larger holes, require surgical repair. While home remedies like steam or other similar treatments won't heal the hole, they can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of infection. If the hole doesn't heal on its own or causes significant hearing loss, surgery (tympanoplasty) may be necessary

I was laughing at a joke and inhaled quickly, and the chewing gum I was eating accidentally went down my throat. I'm not entirely sure if it went through my food pipe, but now I have a cloggy sensation in my throat, maybe because I coughed a lot trying to clear it. Im worried it might be stuck in my windpipe or somewhere near my throat bone. I don't have any breathing issues, cough, or fever, but the feeling is unsettling. Is it possible the gum got stuck in my windpipe, or could there be another reason for this sensation?
Its unlikely that the chewing gum went into your lungs, especially since you're not experiencing breathing problems or a cough. The sensation in your throat is likely due to irritation from coughing or mucus, not the gum being stuck in your windpipe. If the discomfort persists, its always a good idea to check with a doctor for peace of mind.
