I've been noticing this clicking sound in my ear whenever I swallow, but there's no pain involved. I'm just curious if this is normal and happens to others too, or if it might indicate something's not right. Any insights?

I'm experiencing this strange sensation like there's water stuck in my throat, and it's been going on since yesterday. It's kinda freaking me out, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Is this something I should be worried about or maybe just a minor thing that'll pass? Any ideas on what this might be or how I could find some relief?

The sensation of having water stuck in your throat could be due to various reasons such as acid reflux, postnasal drip, or a swollen throat; try gargling with warm salt water, sipping warm tea, or taking antacids to alleviate the discomfort, and if the sensation persists, consult a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.

I have nasal polyps and a fungal infection causing severe right-sided headaches and watery eyes multiple times a day. My doctor suggested surgery, but I'm worried about risks like losing my sense of smell or potential effects on my eyes and brain. Since it's still early, I want to try home remedies first specifically tea tree oil. How exactly should I use it for nasal polyps and fungus? I'm already doing steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. The polyps are only in my right nostril left side is fine.

To manage your nasal polyps and fungal infection with tea tree oil, create a diluted solution and apply it with a cotton swab, steam inhalation, or in a diffuser. Dilute 3-5 drops of tea tree oil in an ounce of carrier oil like olive or coconut oil, and gently dab the solution on the right nostril using a cotton swab 2-3 times a day. You can also add the diluted solution to your steam inhalation or an aromatherapy diffuser
