I'm really worried about my 31-year-old daughter. She woke up yesterday with a small lump inside her tongue, and now, just 35 hours later, it's grown to the size of a marble. Could you please help us understand what might be going on and if we should be concerned?

I've been dealing with really bad nasal congestion and sneezing lately, and nothing seems to help. I've tried inhalation and taken paracetamol, but I'm not feeling any better. It's getting really frustrating. Is there anything else I should be doing or trying?

I'm really struggling with this whole not smoking thing after my tonsil removal. I've been smoking about 15 cigarettes a day, and now the past couple of days without them are just killing me. The NRT options aren't helping much either. My doctor mentioned something about my bleeding risk going from 2 to 3 if I smoke, but that doesn't entirely make sense to me. I'm trying to find out what the absolute minimum time is before I can start smoking again. Honestly, quitting for good isn't an option for me, and going two weeks without smoking seems nearly impossible. Any advice?

no you have to quit smoking

So, I had a tympanoplasty type 1 ear surgery back on May 10, 2018, and my doctor removed some gel forms on June 5, but mentioned there's still a bit left on my eardrum. They can't clear it yet 'cause the doc's on leave, and advised me to use otocin o ear drops, four drops daily, until then. My worry is, when I put the ear drops in before bed, they don't seem to drain properly. Even after sleeping for 7 to 8 hours, the drops just come out when I wake up. Is it okay for the medicine to stay in my ear for that long, or should I be worried about how they're not draining? How long are ear drops typically supposed to stay in the ear anyway?
