Hey, I'm really worried about my mom. Shes been dealing with vertigo, and our family doctor says its related to her middle ear. For the past two days, shes been stuck in bed. Every little move makes her so dizzy, and she even vomits when trying to get up. On top of that, staying in bed has caused her shoulder and back to hurt terribly. What can we do to help her feel better and get rid of this quickly? This is all so sudden and she's never had these issues before. She's on vertistar md8 as prescribed. Any advice would be appreciated.

For vertigo symptoms related to the middle ear, it is important to continue taking Vertistar MD-8 as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, I recommend keeping her well-hydrated and ensuring she gets plenty of rest. To alleviate the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, she can also take 'Stugeron' which helps in relieving vertigo symptoms. For the shoulder and back pain, she can take 'Flexon' to help with the discomfort. It is advisable for her to avoid sudden head movements and to slowly change positions to prevent triggering vertigo episodes. If her symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this issue where I really feel like I need to sneeze, but I just can't seem to actually sneeze. It's been going on for a bit, and now I'm getting a headache and even some stomach pain from it. Any idea what's going on or how I can finally get some relief?

The inability to sneeze, despite the urge, can lead to pent-up pressure, causing headaches and stomach discomfort; try relieving the tension by: applying pressure to the philtrum (area between nose and upper lip), taking a warm shower, drinking plenty of fluids, or using saline nasal sprays to loosen mucus, and if symptoms persist, consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT

I'm really frustrated because my tonsils have a bunch of holes from these annoying tonsil stones. It's so irritating. If I get my tonsils taken out, will it solve this issue?

If you are experiencing recurrent issues with tonsil stones and they are significantly impacting your quality of life, a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils) may be considered. This procedure can help alleviate the problem of tonsil stones by removing the source of their formation. Discuss with an ENT specialist about the possibility of a tonsillectomy and if it is the right option for you.

I often wake up feeling like there's something stuck in the back of my throat, kind of like phlegm, but it feels more like a rubbery slime or clay. It's really making me feel nauseous and I'm wondering if there's any medicine to help with it. I've had sinusitis before, which got better, but this still happens. When I eat, I sometimes can't swallow properly, and other times my throat gets super dry, and I think some cough might have gotten frozen in there due to fungus or something. What could this be, and is there a treatment for it?

take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days
