I'm really worried about this white spot on my tonsil. I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort, but I can't help but wonder if it might be something serious like cancer or another disease. Could you please help me understand what it might be?

Seek immediate medical attention.

In the meantime, try:

Drink a glass of water to help dislodge the bone

Eat a small amount of soft food like banana or bread

Avoid coughing or gagging, which can push the bone further

A doctor or ENT specialist can:

Visually examine your throat

Use specialized instruments to remove the bone

Provide pain relief medication if needed

I'm feeling really dizzy and it's been going on for about 5 weeks now. Can you tell me why this might be happening? Is dizziness like this common, and how long does it usually last for people with vertigo? I'm currently taking flunarizine and betahistine as prescribed by an ENT specialist. Do these medications seem right for my issue?

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 .
