I've been having this weird sensation like there's something stuck in my throat for the past few days. There's a sharp pain whenever I swallow, which is pretty uncomfortable even though I can still do everything else fine. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if there's anything I can do to make it go away. Any advice?

you may be experiencing symptoms of esophageal irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter omeprazole. Additionally, you can try gargling with warm salt water and staying well-hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI'm really struggling with my vertigo, specifically BPPV. I had an episode in the past and was on Vertin 16mg and Stugen for about 20 days, and it seemed like it went away completely. But then, after stopping the medication, it came back a week later. I've done all the tests, like CT scans and X-rays, and they're all normal. I'm worried because the vertigo just won't go away permanently. Could you suggest any way to get rid of this for good?
To achieve permanent relief from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), consider the following steps: 1) consult an ENT specialist or a vestibular rehabilitation therapist; 2) undergo the Epley maneuver or other canalith repositioning procedures (CRPs) to help relocate the otoliths in your inner ear; 3) perform vestibular rehabilitation exercises (e.g., Brandt-Daroff exercises) to improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms; 4) consider lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding triggers (e.g., sleeping on your side), reducing salt intake, and increasing water consumption; and 5) if symptoms persist, discuss with your doctor the possibility of a vestibular suppressant medication, such as betahistine, to help manage symptoms.

I've noticed that each time I bend over, drops of water seem to leak from my right nostril. It happens about 35 drops on average, and this pattern repeats every 15 to 20 days. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?
