I've been struggling with a sore throat and difficulty swallowing for the last couple of days. It's also becoming hard to talk, and I've noticed a dry cough coming and going. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be worried about anything serious?

If you're experiencing severe swelling after an ant bite, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime:
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Elevate the affected area.
- Avoid scratching or rubbing.
If you experience difficulty urinating, severe pain, or breathing issues, go to the emergency room.

View allI'm about a month post-tympanoplasty and I'm still having issues with itching and noises in my ear. Should I be concerned that it's not healing properly, or is this normal and just taking time to get better?
It's normal for some residual symptoms like itching and sounds to persist for a few weeks after tympanoplasty, as the ear canal and eardrum take time to heal; however, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your ENT surgeon to rule out any complications, such as graft failure, infection, or middle ear fluid, and to determine the best course of action.
