Question 1

I'm really worried about this sensation of something stuck in my throat that's been bothering me for the last three months. At first, there was this heaviness near my throat, but thankfully that's gotten better. Whats weird is the problem of feeling like there's something there just won't go away. Earlier, I also had a burping issue, but thats stopped now. I should mention I used to smoke and have quit since March when these throat issues started. Any idea what could be going on?

Accepted Answer

Your persistent sensation of something stuck in your throat, despite improvement in heaviness, could be related to acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or a throat irritation; quitting smoking is a positive step, but consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions, such as a throat polyp, inflammation, or esophageal narrowing, and to discuss further diagnostic tests like endoscopy or imaging studies.

Question 3

I'm really worried. I was cleaning my daughter's ears and she moved, causing the tip to go too far in. Her ear started bleeding a little and she cried for a minute, but now she says she can hear fine and has gone back to doing her normal activities. I'm still freaking out. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

No need to worry when she has no symptoms,just observe for any discharge or so,if not you can forget about it.

I've noticed these yellowish spots in a hole in my left tonsil for about a month now and sometimes it gives me a slight pain. I havent had any fevers though. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

That could be chronic tonsillitis visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management
