I'm using otomize ear spray for an ear infection, but after a few days, it doesn't seem to be helping. It's still really painful, and now my neck glands under the infected ear are swollen and tender. Plus, I've developed a sore throat. Should I consider making an appointment to see if they could give me a different prescription?

I've been dealing with sinus problems that cause heaviness around my nose and forehead. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm unsure - is nasal surgery really necessary for treating sinus issues? What other options might help relieve this pressure?

Try nasal irrigation, antihistamines, steam, or balloon sinuplasty before surgery if sinus pressure is mild.

I've been dealing with a runny nose for about three weeks now. Whenever I take my medication, it seems to get better, but as soon as I stop, it comes back. I'm currently on levocetirizine, montekast, Sinarest, metaspray, and nip-slip tablets. I'm worried this isn't going away. Could it be something I'm missing or not doing right?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you may have a narrow esophagus or a condition called esophageal dysmotility, which can cause food particles to get stuck. The feeling of something stuck in your throat, even after recovering from a sore throat, could be related to this. Tonsil stones can also cause discomfort. However, without examining the picture and considering your overall medical history, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I strongly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and guidance. They may perform an endoscopy or imaging tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I've been experiencing these strong vibrations in the middle of my back and sometimes there's pain near both my ears. It's weird because I can feel my heartbeat in my ears, especially when I'm lying on my side. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

it's normal
