I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. It doesn't hurt, and I'm not having trouble swallowing, but it's just really uncomfortable. Any advice on what kind of test I should consider to figure out what's going on?

You may consider getting a barium swallow test or an endoscopy. These tests can help identify any potential issues in your throat or esophagus. Additionally, a laryngoscopy can also be helpful in examining your throat more closely. Please consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate test for your specific situation.

I've quit smoking about 40 days ago, and in the beginning, I had a lot of ENT pain, stomach issues, a really bad cough, and it felt heavy when I breathed. Things have gotten a bit better, but I'm still having throat pain, some swelling behind my ear, heaviness in my chest, and it hurts when I swallow, plus there's ear pain too. Are these normal withdrawal symptoms, or could it be something else I should worry about?

Yes these could be withdrawl symptoms,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate help

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues along with a deviated nasal septum for the past 13 years. I'm 22 now and experience nasal blockage at night sometimes in the right nostril, sometimes the left, but never both at once. My sleep is fine though. Should I consider surgery or just live with it? What type of surgery would you recommend, and will I be able to live normally afterward?
