I've been feeling this constant sensation like there's an insect moving around in my ear. It's pretty unsettling, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this turn into a serious issue, or is it something that's generally harmless?

I'm really worried about my throat. The doctors said its chronic pharyngitis, and Ive been on antibiotics and antiallergics. I tried ibuprofen for the swelling, but it just comes back when I stop taking it. Sometimes, my right ear hurtsmaybe its because of my tonsils? I also have gastritis, so could it be LPR or GERD? Im a singer, and its been two months since Ive been able to sing. It's really upsetting. I've already seen three doctors but no luck. What should I do?

As it is chronic Pharyngitis it needs long-term treatment,also consume warm foods, rest your voice until complete recovery visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment

I've been diagnosed with cholesteatoma and need to understand the surgery options traditional tools vs laser-assisted like KTP laser. Which method has lower risks of hearing loss and recurrence? If laser is better, are there experienced surgeons in Bangalore or Chennai who use this technique?

Laser-assisted cholesteatoma surgery, particularly using a KTP laser, has shown potential for reduced risks of hearing loss and recurrence compared to traditional methods. KTP lasers can minimize mechanical trauma and help achieve complete disease removal. To find experienced surgeons in Bangalore or Chennai using this technique, research hospitals and clinics specializing in otology (ear, nose, and throat) and inquire about their experience with KTP laser-assisted cholesteatoma surgery.
