I've had a small chicken bone stuck in my throat for three days now, and I'm feeling some discomfort in my ear and the left side of my neck. I'm worried and can't tell if the bone is still there. Could it cause these symptoms? What should I do next?

View allMy 5-year-old has enlarged adenoids and keeps getting ear infections. The doctor mentioned surgery but I'm worried can medicines shrink adenoids or is surgery the only option? What are the risks if we delay surgery?
Mild to moderate adenoid issues might improve with nasal steroids and avoiding allergens. Persistent infections may require adenoidectomy.

I've been having this pain right on the side of my Adam's apple, and it's pretty tender when I press on it from the outside. It really hurts when I swallow, but it's not like a regular sore throat 'cause it doesn't hurt at the back of my throat. It's more at the front, and if I tense up like before sneezing or when yawning, it hurts even more. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
You may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the area around your Adam's apple. This could be due to a condition called thyroiditis. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can try using a warm compress on the area to help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

So I've been dealing with a perforated eardrum, and my ENT mentioned it should heal with time. They gave me antibiotics, Himalaya Oxitard, and Vertin 8 mg to help out. My ear feels much better now, but there's still this ringing sound that comes and goes. Vertin seems to really help with it. Do you think it's alright for me to keep taking Vertin 8 mg and Himalaya Oxitard for a while longer?
Yes you can take it and visit doctor for appropriate treatment.
