I'm dealing with Laryngopharyngeal reflux and it's been about 5 months now and I'm pretty uncomfortable. Are there any home remedies or over-the-counter medications that could help? I'm really looking for something to ease the symptoms.

View allI'm really worried about my 3-year-old son. He recently had a BERA test, and the results showed normal waves in his right ear but absent waves in the left. What could this possibly mean? I'm scheduled to see his doctor next week, but the waiting is stressing me out and I'd love to get a second opinion in the meantime. Can you shed some light on this?
Bera test is used for hearing examination can determine the type of abnormality (conductive or sensorineural), severity (hearing threshold), and hearing loss (inner ear or other parts) of the child. and absence of waves can indicate neurological issues in the hearing pathway

I've been experiencing this weird fluttering sound in my ear for the past two days, but it only happens when I use my earphones or talk on the phone. The strange part is that it's in the opposite ear from the one I'm using. What could this be? Should I be concerned?
This fluttering sound in your ear could be due to a condition called Tinnitus. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to clean your ears in case there is any blockage causing the sound. Additionally, you can take Tab. Betahistine to help with the symptoms. If the issue persists, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with BPPV and it's been really tough. Every time I turn my head towards the left, it feels like the room is spinning and I lose my balance. I've seen two doctors about it. The first said there's no medication for this, but the second prescribed Valium 2 and Vertin 24 for a couple of weeks and suggested some tests. They also performed the Epley Maneuver and taught me how to do it at home. My schedule is pretty hectic since I work 23 days weekly, mostly overnight due to different time zones, and the doctor advised me not to stay up all night. I'm just really anxious about when this will get better because it's affecting my daily life and I'm worried about whether these medicines will help or if something more serious might happen.
BPPV can be uncomfortable and worrying, but with the right treatment (including the Epley Maneuver), most people recover fully. It may take some time, so try to be patient and follow your doctor's instructions. The medications you are taking are supportive in managing symptoms, but the physical therapy (Epley) is key to addressing the root cause. If the problem continues or worsens, dont hesitate to revisit your doctor for further advice.
