I'm worried about my mom. She keeps feeling like there's something stuck in her throat. It's not painful, and there aren't any visible lumps that we can see, but she does get some phlegm in the morning. She's already tried anti-allergy and gastric medicines based on the doctor's advice, but nothing seems to work. What else could it be, and what can we do to help her feel better?

View allI'm hearing this weird metallic sound in both of my ears, and it's been going on constantly for the past couple of days. It's especially noticeable when I'm in a quiet place. Plus, I haven't been able to sleep properly for about two weeks now, no matter how hard I try. Could these things be related, and what should I do about it?
That could be Tinnitus which is bothering you, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

How common is it to need a posterior nasal pack or balloon catheter after nasal surgery or when suctioning blood clots from the throat? I've heard these can be pretty uncomfortable and I'm worried about whether they're always necessary or if there are alternatives Is there a way to tell ahead of time if someone might need one of these after surgery or is it just something you figure out if bleeding gets bad? I'm scheduled for nasal surgery soon and trying to prepare for what to expect What's the recovery like with these packs in place? Do they make breathing or swallowing way harder or is it manageable? I've got a pretty low pain tolerance so I'm nervous about the whole process
Posterior nasal packs or balloon catheters are not always necessary after nasal surgery or suctioning blood clots, but they can be used if bleeding is severe or persistent. It's usually determined on a case-by-case basis based on the severity of the bleeding. While they can cause discomfort, they are usually manageable with medication and support, and there are alternatives when possible.
