I've been dealing with this scratchiness in my throat, almost like there's something stuck there, and it doesnt seem to go away. Hot water provides temporary relief, but the issue keeps coming back after a while. It's been ongoing for about three months, and I've tried medications like ZIFI AF, Citirizine, and Calpol for 10 days. There were moments when the meds helped, but the problem keeps resurfacing. What do you suggest I do next?

I'm worried because I was using an earbud to clean my ear, and some of the cotton got stuck inside. I managed to pull some of it out with tweezers, but not all of it. Then I tried putting a couple of drops of Soliwax in my ear. Will this help, or should I be doing something else to ensure my ear is okay?

Using an earbud to clean your ears can push earwax deeper, and leaving cotton behind can cause irritation; attempting to remove the cotton with a plucker can also cause damage; applying Soliwax ear drops may help dissolve the remaining wax, but to ensure relief and avoid further complications, consult an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and safe earwax removal.

I'm feeling this heaviness or pressure on the right side of my throat, like there's some pain there. There's no fever, cough, or anything like that. When I press on it, I feel something like a bean moving upward when I swallow. I only notice it when I swallow something. Could it be a gland or a tumor? If it were throat cancer, wouldn't I have a cough, fever, or other symptoms? I'm really scared. Can you tell me what the exact symptoms of throat cancer are?

I'm dealing with Meniere's disease and I've noticed that whenever I take Vertin, my dizziness, shakiness, and ear fullness get much better. But when I skip it, these symptoms really kick in. Is it okay if I take Vertin every day to manage this, or should I just deal with the dizziness? A 16mg dose per day seems to work well for me.

YES you can take vertin tablet for long periods also no problem.
