I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat, like right at the back behind my tongue. It's been there for a while and no matter how much I try to clear my throat, it just won't go away. I'm really starting to get worried about it. What could this be?

That could be due to mucosal congestion do not force yourself or attempt to touch the area of concern,have warm foods and stay hydrated,takes time to heal no need to worry,if its bothering you much visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm dealing with a dry throat and it's been happening for a few days now. I think the monsoon is triggering my allergies or something, and it feels like I've got some mucus stuck in there. The past two nights have been rough because I can't seem to sleep wellthe air from the AC dries out my mouth. Is it safe to take Montair LC and Alex syrup together for a few days? My doctor suggested Montair LC, but I haven't started it yet since I was hoping the issue would clear up on its own.

Thas due to allergy,try to avoid the triggering factor and maintain healthy life style,and also yes you can take Montair Lc daily night one tablet as suggested by your doctor

My son was diagnosed with glue ear and the doctor recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat it with medication instead or are there other options we could try before going for surgery? I'm really worried about putting him through an operation.

Glue ear often resolves on its own. Try nasal decongestants, antihistamines, or wait 3 months if mild. Surgery (grommet insertion) is advised only if persistent or affecting hearing/speech.
