I'm curious about this recurring pain I've been experiencing around my throat and jaw. It happens about once a month and it really hurts, especially when I touch it from outside or move my head. A doctor mentioned it might be due to tonsillitis, but I don't have that sore throat feeling inside. It's only on the outside of my throat and jaw area. Could this really be tonsillitis, or could it be something else entirely?

Detection of thyroid nodules can be concerning.

Since your thyroid function tests (TFTs) are normal, it's a good sign.

Next steps:

Consult an endocrinologist or a thyroid specialist.

Discuss Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) or ultrasound-guided biopsy to determine the nature of the nodules.

Follow-up appointments will help monitor the nodules' size and characteristics.

Stay calm, and follow your doctor's guidance.

I keep sneezing and getting a cold every morning no matter what I try - I've done alopathy, homeopathy, and ayurvedic treatments but nothing helps. One doctor mentioned I might have extra nose bone growth needing surgery, but said there's only a 50% chance it'll work. What do you think about this diagnosis and treatment option?

i feel that you have allergic rhinitis. You can start with a steroid nasal spray twice daily. If no relief, consult another ENT surgeon and get evaluated whether surgery will help or not. But allergy per se may not go away with surgery. You will need spray and avoidance of allergens.

I've been taking Vertin 16 mg for the past four months for Meniere's disease and it's been helping me feel better. But now I'm starting to wonder if there could be any long-term effects or harm from using it for so long. Could it be causing any issues I should be worried about?

Yes you can take it no problem.
