I've been having this cough on and off where I feel like something's stuck in my throat. Sometimes, when I cough, there are these tiny clear balls that come up. Its not constant, but it keeps coming back every few days, and I'm really tired of it. What could be causing this, and how can I get it to stop?

I've had swelling in my tonsils for two months now, and I've already taken medicine for a week after seeing a doctor. The swelling has gone down a little, but there's still more on one side. I noticed some white pus-like stuff there, too. There's no pain or fever, so I'm not sure what to think. Can you help me figure out what's going on? Should I be worried?

Based on your description and the photo you provided, it appears that you may be experiencing chronic tonsillitis with unilateral swelling and white pus. Since you have already taken medication for 7 days with some improvement, I would recommend continuing with a course of antibiotics to fully treat the infection. You can try taking a 10-day course of Amoxicillin (brand name: Amoxil) 500mg three times a day. This antibiotic is effective against bacterial infections commonly seen in tonsillitis. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges to soothe any discomfort and gargle with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation. If the swelling and pus persist or worsen despite the antibiotic treatment, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. Thank you for providing the information and photo for better understanding of your condition.

I've had Meniere's disease for about 2 years now and currently trying homeopathic treatment - are there any other treatments or surgeries that could completely cure this condition

No cure exists for Meniere's disease. Some treatments can help lessen how bad vertigo attacks are and how long they last. But there are no treatments for permanent hearing loss. Your healthcare provider may be able to suggest treatments that prevent your hearing loss from getting worse.

I've just seen an ENT specialist who said everything is fine and there's nothing to worry about, but I can't help feeling anxious. Should I be concerned about anything, or is it really nothing to worry about?
