I've had an inflamed soft palate for nearly a month now, and Im 14 weeks pregnant. Ive had chest X-rays and a CT scan with contrast recently which makes me nervous. I struggle with health anxiety and worry it might be throat or esophagus cancer. The doctors think its probably just a bit irritated from reflux or post-nasal drip, and there are no swollen nodes or mouth ulcersjust some itching and no pain. Should I be worried about this, or would asking for a biopsy for peace of mind be too much?

View allI'm curious about something that's been happening lately. When I lie on my side in bed, I can hear my heartbeat in the ear that's against the pillow, but nowhere else in the room. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about it?
When you lie on one side of the bed, it is common to hear your heartbeat more prominently in the ear that is in contact with the pillow. This is known as pulsatile tinnitus. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try using earplugs or playing white noise in the background. If the issue persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing a cold throat infection and fever almost every month and have been taking Azithromycin 500 along with Nicip Cold n Flu and Combiflam for the past five days. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Should I continue with these medications or try something else?
I recommend continuing with Azithromycin 500mg as prescribed by your doctor. You can also continue taking Nicip Cold n Flu for relief from cold symptoms. However, it is important to note that frequent use of Combiflam (ibuprofen) is not recommended as it can have side effects on the stomach and kidneys. Instead, you can consider taking paracetamol alone for fever and body aches. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your recurrent infections.

I've been reading about PRP injections and their potential benefits for reducing tinnitus and improving sensorineural hearing loss. I'm curious if this is actually effective. Also, I'm wondering whether this treatment can be done as an inpatient procedure instead of a daycare one. I live in Hyderabad, so if you have any local recommendations or leads, that would be really helpful.
There is limited usage of such treatment in general practice,visit ENT doctor for appropriate management
