I've been having vertigo episodes and I'm confused about whether to see an ENT specialist or a neurologist or maybe both - can you help me understand which symptoms would require which doctor? Also is vertigo dangerous or something that can cause long-term harm? And is it usually treated with medications or are there specific exercises that help - would I ever need surgery for this condition?

Vertigo can be caused by inner ear issues (like BPPV or vestibular neuritis), in which case an ENT is ideal. If symptoms include double vision, weakness, or numbness, a neurologist should be consulted. Most vertigo is not dangerous or long-term and improves with medications and vestibular exercises; surgery is rarely needed and only in specific conditions like severe Meniere’s disease.

I accidentally swallowed a small sharp chicken bone and now it feels like it's stuck in my throat. Is this something normal, or should I be worried about any potential danger? How can I deal with this problem?
Accidentally swallowing a sharp chicken bone can be concerning as it may cause injury or irritation in the throat. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, pain when swallowing, drooling, or chest pain. In the meantime, you can try eating soft foods and drinking plenty of water to help the bone pass through the digestive tract. If you experience severe pain or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical help.
