I'm having a hard time swallowing, and it feels like I have hot breath all the time. I'm currently taking Claribid and Aldigesic P. Could you recommend a good cough syrup?

I'm really worried about something crawling in my left ear and both ears popping like they do on flights. I've also been dealing with some clear mucus in my throat. I was given Montair LC and then Levoday, but didn't feel much better. The nasal endoscopy didn't show anything wrong, and my doctor thinks it's due to allergies. I've been using Avamys nasal spray and saline spray since my fungal sinusitis surgery back in 2015. I also try steam inhalation and the Toynbee maneuver, but after 2.5 months, nothing seems to help. I've even got jaw pain now. Is there any way to permanently fix this?
You are experiencing symptoms of allergic rhinitis, which can lead to eustachian tube dysfunction and discomfort in the ears. The medications prescribed by your ENT specialist are aimed at managing your symptoms. For the sensation of something crawling in your left ear and the ear popping, you can try using Fluticasone nasal spray (brand name Flonase) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. This can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and improve eustachian tube function. For the jaw pain, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to continue using Avamys nasal spray and saline spray as advised, as well as practicing the steam inhalation and Toynbee maneuver. These measures can help alleviate your symptoms. If your symptoms persist despite these interventions, you may need to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 34-year-old female and recently noticed a white oval lump behind my tonsil on the left side of my mouth. I only spotted it last month while dealing with some wisdom teeth issues. It doesn't hurt or cause any symptoms, but I'm really anxious about it because I have health anxiety. I drink moderately, just a few glasses of wine on the weekends, and I don't smoke. I'm fit and healthy otherwise. Can you help me understand what this might be?
It sounds like you may have a tonsil stone, also known as a tonsillolith. Tonsil stones are small, white or yellowish lumps that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They are usually harmless and can sometimes occur after an episode of tonsillitis or when debris gets trapped in the tonsil crypts. To help reduce the size of the tonsil stone and prevent them from forming, you can try gargling with warm salt water regularly. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are large or causing discomfort, they may need to be removed by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can try using a water flosser to gently dislodge the tonsil stone. If you continue to have concerns or if the lump behind your tonsil changes in size or causes any symptoms, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
