I've noticed this lump in my throat right above my Adam's apple, and I'm not really experiencing much pain. I do feel a slight twinge when I swallow though. Should I be worried about this?

I've been dealing with a completely blocked right nostril for the last three months, and my doctor mentioned it might be due to DNS, suggesting surgery as an option. I've been trying homeopathy for about a month now, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any advice on what I should do next?

My son was diagnosed with glue ear and the doctor recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat it with medication instead or are there other options we could try before going for surgery? I'm really worried about putting him through an operation.

Glue ear often resolves on its own. Try nasal decongestants, antihistamines, or wait 3 months if mild. Surgery (grommet insertion) is advised only if persistent or affecting hearing/speech.
