I've had a ranula mucocele under my tongue for the past 4 months it keeps bursting and filling up again. Is there any medicine or permanent cure for this? I'm wondering if homeopathy can treat it since allopathy only suggests surgery as the option.

Ranula mucoceles often require surgery for permanent cure; homeopathy has limited evidence for success and may not prevent recurrence.

I'm having this sharp, sticking pain in my right ear that comes every 15 minutes or so, but it's really brief, maybe 2 or 3 seconds each time. It almost feels like something is touching my eardrum for a quick moment and then it stops. This has been going on for a week now. A few days ago, I had a mild fever and cold, but otherwise, I'm feeling better now. The pain isn't that severe, but Im worried if this could be the start of something more serious. What do you think this could be?

That could be ear effusion,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,and practice valsalva for better relief.
