I'm really struggling with my vertigo, specifically BPPV. I had an episode in the past and was on Vertin 16mg and Stugen for about 20 days, and it seemed like it went away completely. But then, after stopping the medication, it came back a week later. I've done all the tests, like CT scans and X-rays, and they're all normal. I'm worried because the vertigo just won't go away permanently. Could you suggest any way to get rid of this for good?

To achieve permanent relief from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), consider the following steps: 1) consult an ENT specialist or a vestibular rehabilitation therapist; 2) undergo the Epley maneuver or other canalith repositioning procedures (CRPs) to help relocate the otoliths in your inner ear; 3) perform vestibular rehabilitation exercises (e.g., Brandt-Daroff exercises) to improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms; 4) consider lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding triggers (e.g., sleeping on your side), reducing salt intake, and increasing water consumption; and 5) if symptoms persist, discuss with your doctor the possibility of a vestibular suppressant medication, such as betahistine, to help manage symptoms.

View allI'm having a really hard time hearing because my ear is blocked with wax. I've never really used cotton buds or pins to clean my ears since I was a kid, but now I feel like I might need to. I'm really worried about damaging my eardrums, though. Is there another way to get rid of the wax without using buds or pins? I'd really appreciate any advice on what I can do.
You can use DEWAX ear drops that will dissolve the wax, do not attmept to remove it by yourself visit ENT doctor for ear toileting or vaccum aspiration.

I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone about 11 days ago and it still feels like its stuck in my throat. I havent noticed it passing through yet. What should I do now?
If it is lodged in the throat it would cause severe pain and many other worse symptoms,and its been 11 days,soo it might not be there in your throat,soo u can neglect it and consume plenty of water to wash if any,ifits bothering you much, visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and follow up.

I've been dealing with sinusitis and just got my report should I be worried about anything? Does it look like I might need surgery for this?
Sinusitis surgery is needed if there's nasal polyps, severe blockage, or repeated infections—CT scan helps assess severity and guide treatment.
