I'm really worried because I've been having this weird discomfort in my throat for the past 23 weeks. It's mostly at night and feels like something's stuck in there. I already saw an ENT doctor who did a larynx endoscopy and gave me some meds, which worked for about ten days. But now the problem is back and when I eat, it feels like there's this spicy sensation in my throat and even in my ear. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Drinking cold water can cause:

Irritation of the throat lining

Constriction of blood vessels

Inflammation

To soothe the sore throat:

Gargle with warm saltwater

Suck on throat lozenges (e.g., Strepsils)

Take over-the-counter pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen)

Rest your voice and stay hydrated. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

I've been having pain and occasional wetness in my left ear, and my doctor recommended surgery to close a hole. Is the surgery absolutely necessary or can this be treated with allopathy or homeopathy medicines? Also, I've noticed a slight hearing loss if I go through with the surgery, could the problem come back? What are the chances of success with the surgery?

A small ear hole can be managed with medication if dry and infection-free. If persistent wetness or hearing loss exists, surgery is advised. Recurrence is rare with proper post-op care.
