I've been dealing with cholesteatoma for four years now and also developed Bell's palsy along with it. I'm currently on Siddha medicine but the treatment is taking too long. Is there any non-surgical treatment option in allopathy that could help me recover faster?

I've had this white spot on my tonsil for a few days now, and whenever I touch it with a swab, it feels like a piece of rice comes out. It's happened a few times in the same spot, and even though I'm gargling with hot water and taking medicine, its not going away. I can feel something at the back of my mouth, but there isn't much pain. I've had tonsillitis since I was a kid, but this feels different. Plus, there's some pain in my ear. Could this be some kind of infection?

yes this could be recurrent tonsillitis if it is so better get it removed.visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm a bit worried because last night while I was eating my meal of rice and fish, my mum brought home takeout from Hardee's. I couldn't resist and took a big bite of the burger along with a spoonful of rice, and soon after, I felt pain in my throat. Do you think this could be something serious, or maybe just a reaction to eating different things together?

This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as irritation from the food you ate or possibly an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort in your throat, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets) to help with any acid reflux that may be causing the pain. Additionally, you can also try gargling with warm salt water to help soothe your throat. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to seek medical advice.
