Elongated Bump in Back of Throat

Hi. I have this elongated bump at the back wall of the throat for months now. It do not cause any issues and does not grow. It sometimes feels little bit smaller but is relatively same size forever. Is this something normal or should I go to an ENT and get this checked.

Long term grommet

Hi doctor, how long is it normal for fluid to drain from the ear after placing a long-term grommet? At what point should I be concerned if it continues?

Precautions after tympanoplasty

Hello Most Respected ENT Surgeons here, My father, aged 74 has been advised for tympanoplasty. He develops infections repeatedly, has pus discharge and thereby can't use a hearing aid due to the discharge. I would be extremely grateful to get guidance for cautions post tympanoplasty. What I am most worried about is if he sneezes in the immediate days post the surgery, what complications can he develop ? Warmest Regards to all the ENT Surgeons here 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thyroid test

Need some general advice..I'm planning to take thyroid test. Have been advised to take thyronorm 25 mcg tablets for 3 months. It's been more than 8 weeks. How do I prepare myself for the test? Need advice. Should I do any fasting? If so how? Also during the day of taking the test do I need to skip taking the tablet??
