I threw up a couple of days ago, and since then my throat has been hurting a lot. It's really tough to even drink water or swallow anything. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Based on your symptoms and previous medication, here are some alternative suggestions:
Consult your doctor before taking any new medication.
- Antacids: Gelusil or Digene for heartburn and acid reflux
- Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for acid reduction
- Histamine-2 (H2) blockers: Ranitidine or Famotidine for acid reduction
Monitor your blood pressure and adjust medications accordingly.
Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

View allI'm really worried because I've been having this weird discomfort in my throat for the past 23 weeks. It's mostly at night and feels like something's stuck in there. I already saw an ENT doctor who did a larynx endoscopy and gave me some meds, which worked for about ten days. But now the problem is back and when I eat, it feels like there's this spicy sensation in my throat and even in my ear. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Drinking cold water can cause: - Irritation of the throat lining - Constriction of blood vessels - Inflammation To soothe the sore throat: - Gargle with warm saltwater - Suck on throat lozenges (e.g., Strepsils) - Take over-the-counter pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen) Rest your voice and stay hydrated. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

Can smoking cigarettes lead to swollen lymph nodes in my neck or behind my ear? I've noticed some swelling and I'm getting a bit concerned it might be linked to my smoking habit.
Usually no relation between smoking and your condition, visit general Physician for appropriate treatment.

I have a hole in my right middle ear and I'm worried about the complications it might cause. Can it heal naturally with things like steam or other home remedies? How serious is the surgery for this and what's the procedure like? I'd really prefer a natural way to fix it if possible.
A hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) can heal on its own, especially if it's small or caused by a recent injury or infection. However, most cases, especially those involving larger holes, require surgical repair. While home remedies like steam or other similar treatments won't heal the hole, they can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of infection. If the hole doesn't heal on its own or causes significant hearing loss, surgery (tympanoplasty) may be necessary
