I've been having this pain in my neck and the upper side of my chest, and sometimes it hurts when I swallow. I'm kind of worried and not sure who I should reach out to for help. Could you give me some advice on what this might be and what kind of specialist I should see?

You can use throat lozenges for throat pain. It is also recommended to drink plenty of warm fluids and avoid spicy or acidic foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a medical professional for further evaluation and management. Pain in the neck and upper side of the chest, along with pain during swallowing, could be due to inflammation or infection in the throat or esophagus. This could be caused by conditions such as pharyngitis, esophagitis, or even muscle strain. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain relief.

View allI'm really worried because last night a fish bone got stuck in my throat, and I can still feel it on the left side below my tonsils. I tried using my finger to get it out, but it just made me vomit really badly and now my throat hurts even more when I swallow. I've also tried eating rice as a home remedy, but that didn't work. What can I do to relieve this pain and get the bone out?
f it is still stuck in the throat , try to swallow it. If you can't then you may consult an ENT specialist .

I've had swelling under my right jawline for the past 14 days, and it hurts when I eat. A scan showed a 7mm stone in the main duct where it comes out of the gland. The pain has stopped for the last 3 days, but I can still feel the lump. Is surgery the only option for this? If so, would it be done through the mouth or from outside the neck? Can I get sialendoscopy instead, and where's the nearest place to get it done in Amritsar?
A salivary gland stone is the likely culprit of your swollen jaw and pain when eating. While surgery is an option, sialendoscopy (a minimally invasive procedure) is often a first choice. It's best to seek a specialist's opinion on the best course of action

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues plus a deviated nasal septum for 13 years, but lately at night either my left or right nostril gets blocked while the other stays clear - never both at the same time. Is surgery necessary if I'm still sleeping fine? With my wedding next month, I'm wondering if I should just live with this condition or get it fixed - what surgery would work best without side effects or the problem coming back?
While your nasal issues may not be severe enough to necessitate immediate surgery, particularly with your wedding coming up, consulting an ENT doctor is highly recommended to determine the best course of action for you. If your symptoms are minimally disruptive, conservative management might suffice. However, if the nasal blockage is causing significant issues like difficulty breathing, noisy breathing during sleep, or persistent congestion, surgery (septoplasty) might be necessary to straighten the deviated septum and address any turbinate issues.
