I've been dealing with a swollen left lingual tonsil for about a month now. Initially, it wasn't painful, but now I'm feeling some discomfort when I swallow and I have ear pain too. There are also these white spots on it. I'm a pretty heavy smoker. What could this mean and what should I do?

I'm experiencing some intense dizziness off and on for about three weeks now, like the room is spinning. My blood pressure is normal at 11972, so I'm puzzled about what's going on. Do you think it could be vertigo? I really could use some quick advice or remedies to help with this.

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.

I've been taking Susten 200 once a day as advised, but I've started feeling dizzy after taking it. Now I'm also experiencing chills and a really bad cough and cold. I'm almost done with the course, just have two tablets left. How long do these side effects usually last, and is there anything I should do to feel better?

Dizziness is the most common side effect of progesterone pills,no need to worry you can continue the medicine and if the symptoms are bothering you much visit your Gynaecologist for alternate medicine.
