I'm really worried because for the past 8 months I've had this burning feeling in my throat. It always feels tight, like something's stuck in there. It's pretty uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this, and should I be concerned? What could be causing these sensations?

Water in the ear can be uncomfortable.
Since ear wax drops aren't providing relief, try:
- Ear drying drops (e.g., Otoferm) to help evaporate water
- Tilt your head to the side and gently pull on the outer ear to help water drain
- Use a warm compress or dry towel to help relieve pain and fullness
If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an ENT specialist to rule out:
- Ear infection
- Eardrum damage
- Blockage
Avoid using cotton swabs (Q-tips) to avoid pushing water further into the ear.

my dad has a 6 cm benign tumor in his stomach near the upper part of the fundus - does he need surgery right away or are there medicines that can help shrink the tumor
A 6cm benign tumor in the upper part of the stomach fundus may not require immediate surgery, but it's crucial to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Surgery is often recommended for benign tumors causing symptoms, but in some cases, "watchful waiting" with regular monitoring might be an option. While medications can't shrink the tumor itself, they can help manage symptoms like pain or swelling
