Question

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?

Question

I'm wondering if Vizylac is effective for treating a sore or inflamed throat, or if it's meant for something else entirely? I've been experiencing some discomfort and I'm curious if this is the right medication to use or if there's a better option.

Question

I'm experiencing some popping and crackling sounds in my ears, especially when I swallow. It's mostly happening on the left side, but occasionally on the right too. I've also noticed some pain below my ear. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this, and do I need to see a specialist?

Question

I've had this strange feeling like water is stuck in my ear for three months now, and it sounds a bit like the ocean in a seashell. My doctor gave me amoxicillin and ear drops and said it was a middle ear infection, but it's been two months and the annoyance hasn't gone away. I even tried going to my acupuncturist for some sinus treatment because I'm always congested and thought it might be linked to my sinuses, but no luck there either. Every day I'm using a heating pad on my face, head, ear, and neck, drinking ginger tea, taking hot showers, and sometimes antihistamines. I also pop my ears a few times daily. What else can I do? It really feels like it might be related to my sinuses since I'm congested often.
