I've noticed a small cut on my uvula and I'm really worried about it. I've also been dealing with gas and acidity issues. Could these be related somehow? I'm not taking any meds right now, so I'm wondering what I should do next. Do you have any advice on treatments or remedies?

A persistent sensation of something stuck in your throat can be unsettling.

Possible causes include:

  • Postnasal drip
  • Acid reflux
  • Tonsillitis
  • Pharyngitis
  • Globus sensation (stress-related)

Consult an ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

In the meantime, try:

  • Gargling with warm salt water
  • Staying hydrated
  • Avoiding irritants like smoke and dust

I've got this really uncomfortable feeling like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's making it hard to breathe. It's like a plum or something just won't budge. Can you recommend any medicine or treatment to help clear it out of my throat or lungs? It's really bothersome and I'm a bit worried about it.

I'm really worried because it's been over 20 days and I just can't seem to sneeze. The issue began when my coworker jokingly hit me hard on the belly after lunch, and I had stomach pain for about 1.5 days after that. Normally, I sneeze around 23 times a day, but ever since then, it's like my nose starts the sneeze feeling, but my lungs just don't follow through. I've heard that sneezing helps get rid of dust particles at 320 kmph, so I'm concerned there might be serious health problems if I can't sneeze. I've even tried things like dusting the house and sniffing black pepper to bring on a sneeze, but nothing works. Could this just be something time will fix on its own, or should I be doing something specific to help? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it all. Any advice would be really helpful.

not to worry and again not always normal , consult pulmonologist

I'm having some trouble with my breathing that's been going on for about a year now. Around this time last year, I started noticing a bit of a problem with my breath, like my nose isn't always open properly. Sometimes I have to breathe through my mouth, and it feels like there's some sort of blockage in my nose. It got better after a few weeks, but now I'm experiencing the same issues again. It gets harder to breathe whenever I try to sleep, and I've even started feeling some chest pain. What could be causing this?
