I'm hearing a lot of talk online about using urine to cure ear infections. Apparently, some people think it's the best or even the only way to fix an earache. But I'm worried that it might cause more issues, like infection, since urine is human waste and all. Can you clarify if this is safe or just a myth?

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and dealing with a throat infection. I've been advised to take Taxim 200, but I've always associated it with being prescribed for diarrhea, while Amoxicillin was what I used for throat infections. I'm wondering if Taxim is really suitable for treating throat infections as well. Any insights?

Yes you can use Taxim for throat infection too no problem ot will work.

I've noticed some white spots on just one of my tonsils for the past couple of weeks, but there's no pain or irritation. Should I be concerned about this? Is it something that needs attention, even without any discomfort?

That could be Tonsillitis, consume warm foods, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've had enlarged tonsils for over a year now - can homeopathy actually shrink them back to normal size or is surgery better? The doctor just glanced and said I have big tonsils without any tests, but I've been taking meds. What symptoms do people usually get with enlarged tonsils - like trouble swallowing or sore throat all the time?

tonsilectomy is advised .
