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've had really bad ear pain for the past 3 days and an ENT doctor said there's an infection. I took the medicines and ear drops they prescribed but nothing's helping. They mentioned I might need surgery - is that really necessary or are there other options we could try first? The pain isn't getting better and I'm worried about what to do next.

It's understandable to be concerned about persistent ear pain and the possibility of surgery. While surgery might be an option in some cases, it's not always the first step, and there are other approaches you can explore. If the infection persists despite medication, it's important to discuss your options with your doctor, including potential alternative treatments and the specific reasons why surgery might be considered.
