I've been feeling this needle-like sensation in my throat for the past couple of days and it's really bothering me. Its not where my tonsils usually are, so I dont think its that. It gets worse when I'm lying down. Any ideas on what it could be or how to make it better?

I've been having some issues after using Otrivin nasal spray just once. My nose feels really dry now and I've lost my sense of smell. I can't even sneeze and sometimes it's hard for me to breathe. It's been like this for two weeks and I'm kind of worried. Could the spray have caused this?

stop using otrovin and consult your ent

I'm just a little concerned because while playing with my daughter, her head accidentally bumped into my wife's nose. It hurt her on the left side, but she said she felt fine after a bit. However, later at night, she noticed some blood spots when she blew her nose. There's no pain or constant bleeding, but the blood spots got us a bit worried. Is that something normal?

I'm really worried about this sensation of something stuck in my throat that's been bothering me for the last three months. At first, there was this heaviness near my throat, but thankfully that's gotten better. Whats weird is the problem of feeling like there's something there just won't go away. Earlier, I also had a burping issue, but thats stopped now. I should mention I used to smoke and have quit since March when these throat issues started. Any idea what could be going on?

Your persistent sensation of something stuck in your throat, despite improvement in heaviness, could be related to acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or a throat irritation; quitting smoking is a positive step, but consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions, such as a throat polyp, inflammation, or esophageal narrowing, and to discuss further diagnostic tests like endoscopy or imaging studies.
