I've been dealing with a fissure for over a year now and it keeps coming back every few weeks no matter what I try. I've cut out outside food completely and seen both allopathic and ayurvedic doctors but nothing gives me a permanent solution. Is surgery really my only option at this point or are there other ways to fully heal this

I've been dealing with a scratchy throat that keeps coming and going for the last six months. It doesn't really hurt or cause major issues, just feels a bit rough sometimes. Plus, for the past two months, I've noticed my papillae are inflamed, which might be why I have this white coating on my tongue. I've visited ENT specialists, but the antibiotics they prescribe don't make a difference. The scratchy throat seems to come and go, but the inflamed papillae and that scrappable white coating on my tongue aren't going away. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be worried or try something different?

It sounds like you might be dealing with chronic irritation, possibly due to post-nasal drip or a mild infection, which can lead to a scratchy throat and inflamed papillae. The white coating on your tongue, which is scrappable, could indicate a fungal overgrowth or poor oral hygiene. If antibiotics aren't helping, it might be worth revisiting the ENT specialist for a more targeted approach, such as antifungal treatment or addressing any underlying reflux or immune system factors.

I've had a chronic anal fissure for the last three months, and it's caused a small skin tag. Can medicine alone completely heal it, or is surgery the only permanent fix? Also, if I skip surgery, could things like constipation or anal sex make the fissure worse later on? Would really appreciate your advice.

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I had pile surgery last year and it's been a year now but whenever I eat or drink water, my stomach bloats up like a balloon. Sometimes it's hard to pass gas and stools don't come out easily either. My chest also feels tight. Is this happening because of indigestion or a gas problem? Could you suggest any Ayurvedic medicine for this?
