I've been dealing with this numbness in my right ear lately. It feels blocked, and while there isn't any pain, there's this weird air pressure, and my hearing seems muffled. Could this be an infection or something else going on? What should I do?

I've been having a sore throat for about three weeks, along with ear pain and swelling on one side of my neck. I've also got tonsil stones, super dry mouth, and I noticed red bumps at the back of my throat and on my tongue. Theres a bit of thrush too. Could all of this be related to candida?

It looks like acute tonsillitis with pharyngitis.

My left nostril is completely blocked due to nasal polyps and I can only breathe through my mouth. Doctors are recommending surgery but I'm wondering if homeopathy has any treatment options that could help avoid surgery

While homeopathic remedies may offer a complementary approach for nasal polyps, it's crucial to understand that they are not a substitute for conventional medical treatment. If you are experiencing complete nasal blockage and difficulty breathing, seeking a medical consultation is vital.
