I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this prickly sensation in my throat whenever I swallow or breathe for the last few hours. It's making me really anxious. Could this be something serious, or is it just a minor irritation that will go away on its own?

I'm feeling a lot better from the dizziness after taking Vertin16 three times a day for 15 days, just like the doctor told me. I've been keeping up with the neck exercises, as suggested. But I'm a bit concerned about what to do if the vertigo comes back in a few months. Should I just start on Vertin16 again for another 15 days, or is there any other treatment or approach I should think about?

Folllow your doctor sadvice and yes you can use that tablet when ever needed.

I'm worried about a hole in my eardrum on the left side. There's no pain or irritation, but I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Can eardrums heal on their own without surgery? Also, how long does it typically take for treatment?

If your ear drum has perforation that needs to be closed no other option,if left untreated that would lead to reinfection or may also cause hearing impairement.
