I'm dealing with a really bad throat infection and it's been causing a lot of pain. My voice is all broken and I'm finding it tough to speak properly. Luckily, I don't have a fever, but I'm worried about how bad this throat pain is. Any advice on what I could do to feel better?

View allI 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.

my ct scan shows a deviated nasal septum to the left with left side concavity and hypertrophy of the right inferior nasal turbinate - can this be treated with homeopathy or would surgery be necessary?
A deviated septum and turbinate hypertrophy, as shown in your CT scan, are often best addressed with surgical interventions, but homeopathic treatments might be considered for symptom management. Surgery (septoplasty and turbinate reduction) is necessary to physically correct the septum and turbinate size, while homeopathic treatments might provide relief from related symptoms.

I've been dealing with nasal blockage for about six months now, and it turns out my turbinates are swollen, at least that's what the ENT doctor said. I caught Covid-19 last year, and I'm not sure if it's related but no medication seems to help. I'm using saline drops to manage the situation, but I'm really wondering if surgery is my only option to fix the swollen turbinates. Also, could allergy shots be a good alternative? And I'm kinda nervous about the surgerydoes it cause Empty Nose Syndrome? I'd love to hear the best advice on this.
yes
