I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone, and it's stuck in my throat. It's causing a lot of pain, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can you help me figure out how to get rid of it or if I need to see a doctor immediately?

A white layer in the ear can be caused by:
- Earwax buildup
- Fungal infection (otomycosis)
- Middle ear infection
- Eczema or psoriasis
To determine the cause, consult a doctor or ENT specialist.
Avoid using cotton swabs or inserting objects into your ear, as this can push the debris further in.

View allI've had right vocal cord palsy for the last 3 months and my voice is still hoarse. What would be better for me surgery or voice therapy? I'm really worried about which option might work best
Talk to your provider if you have a condition or illness that increases your risk of vocal cord paralysis. These can include multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's, or recent chest or neck surgery. Voice therapy may prevent your condition from worsening and improve your vocal cord function.

I'm really concerned because I've had tonsillitis for three weeks now and it just won't go away. I've been on antibiotics for ten days but haven't seen any improvement. Could this be a bacterial or viral infection? Also, I can't help but worry if this could be a sign of early HIV ARS. I don't have any other symptoms, just swollen tonsils with white spots. What could be going on?
no need to worry it's not related HIV, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with a deviated septum, nasal polyps, and a dust allergy that makes me sneeze nonstop and blocks my nose completely. Could the dust allergy be making the polyps worse over time? The congestion is so bad I can barely breathe or sleep, and OTC sprays give me rebound congestion but I feel stuck using them. I'm also noticing I can't smell mild scents as well anymore. Is surgery like septoplasty or polyp removal my only option, or are there non-surgical treatments I could try first? If I do need surgery, how long would recovery take?
yes septoplasty is advised, recovery is around 4-6 weeks.
