Question 1

I've been experiencing this constant ringing in both of my ears and it's really affecting my ability to concentrate. I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to worry me. Could you suggest any medicines or treatments that might help?

It sounds like you may be experiencing tinnitus, which is the sensation of hearing ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ears. To help with this, you can try taking Ginkgo biloba extract. I recommend taking 120-240 mg per day to help improve blood flow to the ears and reduce the ringing sensation. Additionally, you can try using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help with any earwax buildup that may be contributing to the ringing. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper use. If the symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

Question 2

I've been taking Ebast-M for about four years, and whenever I miss taking it for like three days, I start feeling this pain on one side of my throat and get random sneezing fits. Can you help me figure out what's going on and maybe suggest how I can manage or reduce these symptoms? It's been a bit of a hassle, so any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

It seems like you are experiencing symptoms of allergies due to missing your ebastine and montelukast tablets. To reduce your throat pain and sneezing, you can start by taking Ebast-M tablet again. The usual dosage is one tablet once daily. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Paracetamol for throat pain. It is important to continue taking your prescribed medication regularly to manage your allergy symptoms effectively.

Question 3

I'm a 34-year-old female and recently noticed a white oval lump behind my tonsil on the left side of my mouth. I only spotted it last month while dealing with some wisdom teeth issues. It doesn't hurt or cause any symptoms, but I'm really anxious about it because I have health anxiety. I drink moderately, just a few glasses of wine on the weekends, and I don't smoke. I'm fit and healthy otherwise. Can you help me understand what this might be?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have a tonsil stone, also known as a tonsillolith. Tonsil stones are small, white or yellowish lumps that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They are usually harmless and can sometimes occur after an episode of tonsillitis or when debris gets trapped in the tonsil crypts. To help reduce the size of the tonsil stone and prevent them from forming, you can try gargling with warm salt water regularly. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are large or causing discomfort, they may need to be removed by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can try using a water flosser to gently dislodge the tonsil stone. If you continue to have concerns or if the lump behind your tonsil changes in size or causes any symptoms, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Go to an ENT surgeon with expertise in otologic surgery. Extraction under microscopic guidance is safe, but risks like ossicle damage must be discussed beforehand.
