I've got this hard lump just behind my uvula on the throat wall, and it feels like bone when I touch it. Is this normal, or should I be worried it's something serious like cancer? I'm really anxious about it. Could you please take a look at the attached picture and let me know what you think?

I've been diagnosed with nasal polyps and using the nasal spray my doctor prescribed, but it only gives temporary relief. Surgery is an option, but I'm worried about the polyps coming back. Are there effective homeopathy or Ayurveda treatments for nasal polyps, and how well do they actually work?

polypectomy is advised at apollo hospital.

I'm a bit confused about something and hope you can help. Can a deviated nasal septum actually cause chest pain? Also, if someone has DNS but their oxygen saturation levels are good, should they still be worried? Would love some clarity!

DNS has nothing to do with chest pain generally. Please have your chest pain evaluated in detail.
