Can I take a Cialis or Viagra tablet before having sex, and would I be able to get it from a pharmacy? Is there another tablet I can buy at a pharmacy for a longer-lasting erection? Also, I live in Chennai.

Persistent throat discomfort and sensations of something being stuck can be concerning.

Given your symptoms and previous endoscopy, possible causes include:

Acid reflux (GERD)

Laryngopharyngeal reflux

Allergies or sinus issues

Irritation from spicy food

Consult your ENT doctor again to discuss:

Adjusting medications or adding new ones

Lifestyle changes (diet, posture, stress management)

Further testing or procedures if needed

I've had a hydrocele on my left side for about 5 years now, and initially, doctors said it was normal and didn't need treatment. But last month, my doctor recommended surgery. I'm really trying to avoid surgery are there any other options? I've been doing a fruit diet and cold hip baths, but I'm not sure if that's enough. What else can I try?

While a fruit diet and cold hip baths might offer some temporary relief, they won't resolve a hydrocele. Once a hydrocele persists or becomes large enough to cause discomfort or becomes unsightly, surgery (hydrocelectomy) is generally the recommended treatment, according to multiple sources. Other options like aspiration and sclerotherapy may be considered, but they often come with a higher risk of recurrence than surgery.
