I'm a 31-year-old male who had gall bladder removal surgery in 2016 and have been on hypertension meds for the past year with an average BP of 120/90 mmHg. For the last month, I've had this throat issue where it feels like mucus is running down my throat on and off, and for the past 10 days, I've also been dealing with constipation and gastric problems. An ENT specialist checked my throat and mentioned pharyngitis, prescribing Pan DSR and Sinarest 500 mg for 10 days. I finished the course, but the symptoms are still there. Could this be more related to my throat or an abdomen issue? What should I do next?

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.

My daughter is 6 years old and she has adenoids. The main issue we're seeing is that she really snores a lot at night. To try and avoid surgery, someone mentioned that we could use metaspray and give her Montair LC at night. I'm really curious about whether that's a good idea or not. Any advice would be great!

Metaspray is a nasal spray containing Mometasone which is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. Montair LC is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast helps in reducing inflammation in the airways and Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that helps in relieving allergy symptoms. These medications can help reduce nasal congestion, inflammation, and snoring associated with adenoids. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with a really bad sore throat for the past two days, and it's so painful that I can't even drink water. To make things worse, I also have a cold. I took a citrizin tablet last night, but I still don't feel any better. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?
