View allI'm really worried about this white spot on my tonsil. I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort, but I can't help but wonder if it might be something serious like cancer or another disease. Could you please help me understand what it might be?
Seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, try: - Drink a glass of water to help dislodge the bone - Eat a small amount of soft food like banana or bread - Avoid coughing or gagging, which can push the bone further A doctor or ENT specialist can: - Visually examine your throat - Use specialized instruments to remove the bone - Provide pain relief medication if needed

I've had really bad ear pain for the past 3 days and an ENT doctor said there's an infection. I took the medicines and ear drops they prescribed but nothing's helping. They mentioned I might need surgery - is that really necessary or are there other options we could try first? The pain isn't getting better and I'm worried about what to do next.
It's understandable to be concerned about persistent ear pain and the possibility of surgery. While surgery might be an option in some cases, it's not always the first step, and there are other approaches you can explore. If the infection persists despite medication, it's important to discuss your options with your doctor, including potential alternative treatments and the specific reasons why surgery might be considered.

I've been dealing with this post nasal drip for the past couple of years and it's really frustrating. There's this thick liquid that's always coming into my throat, and I have to spit it out because swallowing makes me feel like throwing up. I tried taking Lesuride OD75 for a month, like my gastroenterologist suggested, but it didn't really help. On top of that, I have these acidity and vomiting issues. Whenever I get a cold, my nose runs like crazy and the throat thing gets worse. The day after I catch a cold, I end up vomiting all day and struggle to eat anything. The stuff I vomit is so thick, it's hard to get it out. This used to happen just twice a year before, but in the last six months, it's happened four times. I really need some advice on what to do because it's becoming unbearable. What can I do about this?
