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?

View allI've been dealing with some nasal congestion and was told I might have turbinate hypertrophy. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any medications or treatments that could help shrink the turbinates or at least give me some relief without having to go under the knife? Would love some advice on what to try or any tips on managing this.
Turbinate Hypertroneeds surgical excision only when it is causing severe symptoms or aggrevating Sinusitis, otherwise you can neglect it.

I've been having vertigo episodes and I'm confused about whether to see an ENT specialist or a neurologist or maybe both - can you help me understand which symptoms would require which doctor? Also is vertigo dangerous or something that can cause long-term harm? And is it usually treated with medications or are there specific exercises that help - would I ever need surgery for this condition?
Vertigo can be caused by inner ear issues (like BPPV or vestibular neuritis), in which case an **ENT** is ideal. If symptoms include double vision, weakness, or numbness, a **neurologist** should be consulted. Most vertigo is not dangerous or long-term and improves with **medications and vestibular exercises**; surgery is rarely needed and only in specific conditions like severe Meniere’s disease.

I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone, and it's stuck in my throat. It's causing a lot of pain, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can you help me figure out how to get rid of it or if I need to see a doctor immediately?
A white layer in the ear can be caused by: - Earwax buildup - Fungal infection (otomycosis) - Middle ear infection - Eczema or psoriasis To determine the cause, consult a doctor or ENT specialist. Avoid using cotton swabs or inserting objects into your ear, as this can push the debris further in.
