I've been feeling this weird globus sensation and tightness in my throat for a while now, but it doesn't hurt or make it hard to swallow. I got an endoscopy done, and there was only some erosion in the stomach's fundus; everything else looked normal. I do have mild acidity, but no heartburn or difficulty swallowing. There's nothing unusual in my throat or lymph nodes either. My mom passed away from anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid, and that seriously worries me. What could be causing this discomfort in my throat?

I just swallowed a plum seed by mistake about an hour ago. It didn't cause me to choke, and I'm not in any pain at the moment. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to make sure I'm okay?

Accidentally swallowing a medium sized plum seed should not cause any harm as long as you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort. However, it is important to monitor for any signs of abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, or choking sensation. To help pass the seed through your digestive system smoothly, you can drink plenty of water to aid in digestion. If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort, please seek medical attention immediately.

My mom is 56 years old, 5'2¬ù tall, and weighs 55 kg. She has multiple gallstones ranging from 4mm to 10-11 mm. Can this be treated naturally with homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine, or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend for her condition?

For gallstones, especially those larger than 10mm, surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is generally recommended for effective removal. While homeopathic and ayurvedic approaches may offer symptom relief and support overall digestive health, they are not proven to dissolve or remove gallstones.
