Question

Is BPPV something I should be worried about? I've been feeling really dizzy when I go to bed or get up, and the doctor mentioned it's BPPV. Is this a serious issue?

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear disorder. A person with BPPV experiences a sudden spinning sensation whenever they move their head. BPPV isnt a sign of a serious problem. If it doesnt disappear on its own within six weeks, a simple in-office procedure can help ease your symptoms.Hello, Be aware of the possibility of losing your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury.Don't work in high altitude like building construction , pilot , skydiving etc... Sit down soon when you feel dizzy , get up from the bed slowly , there is no cure but it can be manageable with therapy .

Question

I'm really worried about my 45-day-old baby who's having trouble breathing due to a blocked nose. Can I use this nasal spray whenever I feel it's necessary? Is it safe for such a young baby? I'd really appreciate some advice.

Question

I'm dealing with acute tonsillitis and have only throat pain, no fever, cold, or cough symptoms. It started on Monday, May 7th. For the first three days, I did saltwater gargles and had ginger honey, but only saw minimal improvement. So, I went to the doctor who prescribed me Zocef 500 to take twice a day. I've been taking it since Thursday, but the recovery has been really slow; today's the third day and I still feel the throat pain. I'm wondering, if I had taken Azithromycin 500 instead, would it have worked faster on the pain and bacterial infection? I've used it before and noticed a quicker recovery. Is Zocef 500 better than Azithromycin 500? If so, why am I still experiencing throat pain after taking 5 tablets?

Question

I'm Zac and I've been having some issues lately. My tonsils have turned a yellow color, and it's been going on for a few days now. They seem to be getting worse, and there are more spots than before. About a month ago, I had a lot of swelling and pain in the same area. I'm really worried about what's causing all this. Any advice?
