I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a while now, below where my Adam's apple is, sort of around the thyroid gland area. I went to see an ENT specialist and he mentioned it might be granular pharyngitis after checking my tonsils, but it just doesn't feel right. It's like the sensation is further down. What do you think could be causing this feeling, and what steps should I take next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat, which could be related to granular pharyngitis. To help alleviate this feeling, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic (benzocaine) to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any inflammation or allergic reactions that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, it would be advisable to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm experiencing this ear pain in my right ear, specifically around the tragus area, and it only hurts when I touch it or sleep on that side. The doctor recommended Cetraxal online because of the COVID situation and mentioned it might be an ear infection. I've been using the medicine for a day, but there's no relief yet. I've had earwax issues a couple of times before, many years back. Could this be due to earwax again, or is it really an infection?

I've had a retention cyst on my true vocal cord that keeps coming back even after two MLS micro laryngeal surgeries one in Hyderabad in 2006 and another at Kims Trivendrum. The cyst isn't malignant but keeps filling up with a grapefruit-like mass, making it hard to speak properly. What could be the root cause, and is there a permanent solution to stop it from recurring?
Only treatment of vocal cords cyst is surgery. Cause of recurrence can be found in biopsy report of the cyst which could be incomplete removal of cyst wall or other underlying disease.

I've been dealing with a blocked nose for the past two weeks and got a CT scan done. I've attached the report do you think I might need surgery for this? What would you suggest based on the findings?
Without seeing the CT scan, it’s hard to determine if surgery is required. Often, nasal obstruction can be treated with medication or a procedure, but surgery is considered only if there's a structural issue like a deviated septum.
