I was having dinner and once I finished, I noticed this really uncomfortable, pricking sensation on the left side of the back of my throat. It's bothering me, and I'm wondering if I should be worried about it. What could be causing this feeling?

I'm currently on cephalexin for my tonsillitis and I'm just curious, is it okay to smoke marijuana while taking this medication? I'm worried if it might make the cephalexin less effective or if there could be any bad reactions.

I would not recommend smoking marijuana while taking cephalexin for tonsillitis. Smoking marijuana can potentially decrease the effectiveness of cephalexin and may also increase the risk of certain side effects. It is best to avoid smoking marijuana while on this antibiotic.

I've been diagnosed with a perforated eardrum in my right ear, and my doctor recommended surgery. Are there any non-surgical treatments like homeopathy that could help fix this? Also, is it safe to travel by plane with this condition or should I avoid flying?

Mild cases may heal on their own, but larger perforations often need surgery; avoid air travel till cleared.
