I'm 17 and recently had a check-up where the doctor diagnosed me with acute otitis media in my right ear, possibly due to my cold. I've been taking antibiotics like Natravox, using a nasal spray, and a tablet called Nasathera for the cold. The pain in my ear has gone away after taking painkillers, and my cold has cleared up too. But I'm still not hearing fully from my right earthere's this ringing sound. I dance as a hobby, and with a dance concert coming up soon, I'm wondering if it's safe to continue practicing or do any strenuous activities with this ear infection. Could this affect my recovery or hearing any further?

I've been having a really weird problem since I ate some tiny thin fish about three months ago. It feels like there's a bone or something sharp stuck behind my tonsil, and it's been bothering me every time I swallow. I went to see an ENT specialist, and they said there's nothing to worry about and that there's no fishbone there. But it seriously feels like something is poking me back there. It's driving me nuts. What could it be, and should I be worried about it since its been a long time now without improvement?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I've been dealing with nasal congestion for about a year now, and it's been really bothersome. When I try to do alom vilom, I notice my nostrils feel blocked and it's hard to breathe properly. Plus, I've been experiencing some inflammation around the edges of my throat whenever I swallow. I consulted my doctor and tried some medications like Azeflo nasal spray, Montfair fx, and Sompraz D, but I haven't felt any significant relief. What else can I do or try to finally get some relief from these symptoms?

Continue same treatment.
