I've had this feeling like something is stuck in my throat for the past week and it's really starting to worry me. I've got this habit of using tobacco and pan masala, and I'm scared it might be something serious like cancer. What do you think?

Stuck fish bone can be concerning!
Possible Risks
- Infection: If the bone remains in your throat, it can cause an infection, leading to symptoms like swelling, redness, and increased pain.
- Abscess formation: In rare cases, the bone can cause an abscess to form in the throat.
Removal Methods
- Drink plenty of water: Encourage the bone to move down your throat by drinking plenty of water.
- Eat soft foods: Consume soft, sticky foods like bananas, yogurt, or marshmallows to help dislodge the bone.
- Try the "cough and swallow" method: Cough gently and then swallow to try to dislodge the bone.
Medical Attention
- Visit an ENT specialist: If you're unsure whether the bone is still stuck or if you experience severe symptoms, consult an ENT specialist.
- Endoscopy or X-ray: The doctor may perform an endoscopy or X-ray to locate the bone and determine the best course of action.
When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention
- Severe pain or difficulty swallowing
- Shortness of breath
- Fever or chills
- Blood in your saliva or cough

View allI've been dealing with this post nasal drip for the past couple of years and it's really frustrating. There's this thick liquid that's always coming into my throat, and I have to spit it out because swallowing makes me feel like throwing up. I tried taking Lesuride OD75 for a month, like my gastroenterologist suggested, but it didn't really help. On top of that, I have these acidity and vomiting issues. Whenever I get a cold, my nose runs like crazy and the throat thing gets worse. The day after I catch a cold, I end up vomiting all day and struggle to eat anything. The stuff I vomit is so thick, it's hard to get it out. This used to happen just twice a year before, but in the last six months, it's happened four times. I really need some advice on what to do because it's becoming unbearable. What can I do about this?

I've been dealing with a throat infection for over a year now and it's really bothering me. Every time I eat something cold or sweet, my throat starts hurting. I had sinus surgery a year ago could that be related to this ongoing issue? What could be causing this persistent throat pain?

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?
