I've noticed a lump in front of my left tragus, and it's painless even when I touch or press it. It also seems to be mobile. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or if there's any specific way I should manage it. Could it be something serious or is it likely harmless?

This lump could be a benign condition such as a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma. It is important to monitor the lump for any changes in size, shape, or symptoms. If the lump causes any discomfort or grows in size, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In case of infection or inflammation, antibiotics may be prescribed. If necessary, the lump can be surgically removed.

My son has an adenoids issue and the doctor suggested surgery, but we're really hesitant about going that route. Is there any other alternative treatment or option available for this that doesn't involve surgery?
You can opt for conservative management as well but getting operated and removed fas it is the solution for it.

I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone about 11 days ago and it still feels like its stuck in my throat. I havent noticed it passing through yet. What should I do now?
If it is lodged in the throat it would cause severe pain and many other worse symptoms,and its been 11 days,soo it might not be there in your throat,soo u can neglect it and consume plenty of water to wash if any,ifits bothering you much, visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and follow up.
