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.

View allI'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.

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 had earwax removed and now I'm hearing sounds in my ear. One doctor mentioned there's a hole in my middle ear and suggested surgery, while another advised waiting 3 months to see if it heals naturally and recommended daily steam. Can a hole in the ear heal on its own, and what are the chances of natural recovery?
for P/E ENT specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
