I've had this small lump on my neck for like 10 months now. I saw an ENT doc who said it's nothing to worry about. He did mention something about surgery, either now or later. My friend's dad had a similar lump, and their doctor insisted on surgery which cost them around 1 lac. Should I be worried about this lump even though there's no pain?

I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. Whenever I swallow or drink water, it feels like something's lodged right in the middle. It's weird because I don't notice it while I'm eating, but afterwards, that sensation comes back. Also, I've noticed these small pink pimple-like bumps towards the back of my tongue. What's going on with me?

drink hot water regularly, avoid spicy food.take tab.b complex for atleast 5 days

I'm dealing with a deviated nasal septum, and it's been bothering me a lot. I really want to go for septoplasty surgery, but I'm super anxious about the idea of using packing because I just can't breathe through my mouth. I'm based in Delhi. Is there any surgeon here who could help with a packing-free procedure? I'm really looking for advice or suggestions on how to proceed.
