Ive noticed my uvula seems to be touching my tongue, and it feels like something is hanging at the back of my mouth. Its making it hard for me to talk. Could this be something I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may have an elongated or swollen uvula, which is causing discomfort and affecting your speech. I recommend taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen to reduce swelling and discomfort. You can also try gargling with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm having a bit of a hard time with my head feeling heavy and one of my ears being blocked for the last couple of days. It's kind of bothersome, and it's been causing some pain around my forehead and eyes too. Ive been told I have raised IgE levels, and I'm already using a nasal corticosteroid as part of my treatment. Could this be related? I'd appreciate some guidance on what might be going on.

I can clearly see and feel a yellow polyp-like substance when I look in the mirror or insert my finger into my nostril. A doctor mentioned polyps back in 2018 and said I might need surgery, but I never got it done. Now I can't exhale properly through that nostril, and when I try to inhale forcefully, it feels like something is vibrating near the area. Is surgery the only option for polyps, or can medication help shrink them?

Surgery is advised to the patient,also ent opinion is advised and the surgery is called polypectomy.
