I've been feeling like there's a lump in my throat for the past two weeks. It doesnt seem to bother me when I'm swallowing food, but there's this constant irritation when I'm just swallowing saliva. What could be causing this?

I'm really worried because I think I have a hair stuck in my throat. It feels so uncomfortable. Is there a way to get it out on my own, without having to see an ENT doctor? Is it harmful if it stays there? Would love to hear your advice!

Nothing happens just drink water it gets excreted.

I'm kind of worried because I had a cold and in a rush, I accidentally put Iodex in my nose. I quickly realized it was a mistake and washed it out with soap and water, but then my nose started bleeding a bit. Is this a serious issue, or should I be okay since the bleeding stopped quickly?

No need to nothing serious complication would happen,but do not repeat it as you say you had one episode of bleeding,visit ENT doctor for evaluation

I've had septoplasty and IT reduction surgery about four days ago, and I'm trying to figure out the best diet to follow during recovery. What foods should I eat or avoid to help with healing? I'm concerned about doing everything I can to ensure a smooth recovery. Any advice would be great!

Its been 4 days soo it might have healed,no need to worry,consume protien rich diet,avoid chewing hard things and do warm saline nasal wash twice a day and follow your doctors advice
