I've got this weird thing where the skin is kind of hanging from the tip of my uvula, and it's touching my tongue. It's giving me this constant tickling sensation. There's no swelling or anything, but it's pretty annoying. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

I've quit smoking about 40 days ago, and in the beginning, I had a lot of ENT pain, stomach issues, a really bad cough, and it felt heavy when I breathed. Things have gotten a bit better, but I'm still having throat pain, some swelling behind my ear, heaviness in my chest, and it hurts when I swallow, plus there's ear pain too. Are these normal withdrawal symptoms, or could it be something else I should worry about?

Yes these could be withdrawl symptoms,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate help

Can FESS with turbinoplasty be done under local anesthesia or is general anesthesia necessary I'm a bit nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect

General anesthesia is often preferred for more complex FESS procedures and turbinoplasty, while local anesthesia with sedation may be suitable for less extensive procedures
