I'm dealing with Meniere's disease and I've noticed that whenever I take Vertin, my dizziness, shakiness, and ear fullness get much better. But when I skip it, these symptoms really kick in. Is it okay if I take Vertin every day to manage this, or should I just deal with the dizziness? A 16mg dose per day seems to work well for me.

View allMy throat's been hurting for a couple of days now, but its not like a typical sore throat. The pain feels like its on the outside at two specific spots, and it doesnt hurt when I swallow or anything, no cold symptoms either. The pain's just there constantly, whether I talk, sneeze, yawn, or even touch my throat. Eating and drinking seem normal though. Is it okay if I have cold foods or spicy stuff? And should I be doing any gargling since it's not like the usual throat pain we hear about?
Yes, you can eat cold things and normal spicy food. For the pain in your throat, it is advisable to gargle with warm salt water. Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and gargle with it several times a day. This can help reduce inflammation and provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) following the recommended dosage on the package.

I've got a situation with an enlarged submandibular gland that showed up as 11cm on the ultrasound. It's strange because there's no pain or swelling when I eat. I've been on Amoxy-Clav and Tibrolin tablets for about 12 days now, but there hasn't been any change. What could be going on, and should I be worried about this lack of improvement?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Can FESS with turbinoplasty be done under local anesthesia or is general anesthesia necessary I'm a bit nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect
FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) with turbinoplasty can be done under local or general anesthesia, but the choice of anesthesia depends on the specific procedure and patient's needs. General anesthesia is often preferred for more complex FESS procedures and turbinoplasty, while local anesthesia with sedation may be suitable for less extensive procedures
