I'm really puzzled about this weird feeling I've had in my throat for the past month after recovering from COVID. It's like something's stuck there, but it's not painful or irritating. It doesn't seem to be getting any better or worse, just kind of the same most days. Though I do notice it's more prominent in the evenings or when I'm lying down. It's strange because I don't have any trouble breathing, eating, or drinking, and if anything, swallowing food feels good. I tried antacids and PPIs for about three weeks, but they didn't help at all. I've been extra careful, eating boiled food and avoiding anything spicy because a little spice makes my stomach burn. I'm 21, and I really can't stop thinking about this. Is there something serious going on, or is this just some lingering after-effect I shouldn't worry too much about? What do you think it could be?

View allI'm feeling really anxious about this odd thing in the back of my throat. I managed to get a picture of it but I'm not quite sure if I can share it here or not. It looks like a small off-white square way back there behind my tongue. The wider I open my mouth, the more visible it gets, and it seems to bob up and down. Should I be worried? Any idea what this could be?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may have a case of tonsilloliths, also known as tonsil stones. These are small, off-white deposits that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They can sometimes cause discomfort or a sensation of something being stuck in your throat. To help alleviate the symptoms and prevent further tonsil stone formation, you can try gargling with warm salt water or using a water flosser to gently dislodge the stones. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are persistent or causing significant issues, a doctor may recommend removal of the tonsils. In the meantime, you can also try using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide to help reduce bacteria in the mouth and prevent the formation of new tonsil stones.

I'm really concerned because my doctor prescribed Vitaresp FX 180 and OtocinO drops for my ear infection. He mentioned something about a minor allergy and fungal infection in both ears. I'm curious if Vitaresp FX 180 is actually meant for ear infections because I couldn't find any information about it online. Could you help me understand if this is the right medication?

I've been taking Susten 200 once a day as advised, but I've started feeling dizzy after taking it. Now I'm also experiencing chills and a really bad cough and cold. I'm almost done with the course, just have two tablets left. How long do these side effects usually last, and is there anything I should do to feel better?
Dizziness is the most common side effect of progesterone pills,no need to worry you can continue the medicine and if the symptoms are bothering you much visit your Gynaecologist for alternate medicine.
