I've been feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat for the past couple of weeks, and no matter how hard I try to cough it up, it just won't go away. It's really starting to bother me. Do you know what might be going on or what I can do to get rid of it?

So, I had a tympanoplasty type 1 ear surgery back on May 10, 2018, and my doctor removed some gel forms on June 5, but mentioned there's still a bit left on my eardrum. They can't clear it yet 'cause the doc's on leave, and advised me to use otocin o ear drops, four drops daily, until then. My worry is, when I put the ear drops in before bed, they don't seem to drain properly. Even after sleeping for 7 to 8 hours, the drops just come out when I wake up. Is it okay for the medicine to stay in my ear for that long, or should I be worried about how they're not draining? How long are ear drops typically supposed to stay in the ear anyway?

My ranula mucocele keeps shrinking and refilling but doesn't hurt or cause any issues - is surgery really needed if it's not bothering me? I'm nervous about going under the knife for something that seems harmless right now

normal nothing to worry ok.
