I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.

I've been dealing with this mucus issue in my throat and my nose is constantly blocked. Even though I'm taking medications like Seroflo 500, Gelemont A, Arzep nasal spray, Memoflow nasal spray, and an antibiotic, the problem just won't go away. Is there anything else I should be doing, or do these symptoms suggest something more serious? I'm really worried and would love some guidance.

My 5-year-old niece has been having nosebleeds and an X-ray showed enlarged adenoids. The doctor recommended surgery to remove them but I'm wondering if medication could work instead. Is surgery really necessary in this case? Also, what's the usual cost range for this kind of procedure?

adenoidectomy is advised.
