I've had a ranula mucocele under my tongue for the past 4 months it keeps bursting and filling up again. Is there any medicine or permanent cure for this? I'm wondering if homeopathy can treat it since allopathy only suggests surgery as the option.

Ranula mucoceles often require surgery for permanent cure; homeopathy has limited evidence for success and may not prevent recurrence.

View allI've been experiencing this whistle-like sound in my ears for a couple of months now. It's similar to the noise you hear when a loud firecracker goes off nearby. It's really affecting my sleep, especially when I'm in a quiet environment. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to help with it?
Chronic coughing and allergy issues can be frustrating! Given your history and current treatment, consider the following: 1. *Inhaler usage*: Continue using the inhaler as prescribed, as it may take some time to show its full effect. 2. *Coughing persistence*: Discuss with your doctor the possibility of an underlying condition, such as: - Asthma - Chronic bronchitis - Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 3. *Additional testing*: Your doctor may recommend further tests, such as: - Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - Allergy testing (e.g., skin prick test) - Endoscopy or bronchoscopy 4. *Treatment adjustment*: Based on your doctor's evaluation, they may adjust your treatment plan, including: - Changing or adding medications - Increasing or decreasing inhaler dosage - Recommending lifestyle changes (e.g., avoiding allergens, quitting smoking) Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss your progress and any concerns.

I'm dealing with vertigo and I'm not sure whether I should see an ENT specialist or a neurologist, or maybe even both. Can you help me figure out which one would be more appropriate for my symptoms? Also, is this condition harmful or something I shouldn't be too worried about? I'm curious if it's something that can be treated with just medicine or exercises. Is surgery sometimes necessary for this kind of issue?
If you are experiencing vertigo which is triggered by positional changes, such as whilst getting up from a lying down position, or whilst turning your head quickly, you should consult an ENT specialist in order to rule out BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If your vertigo is triggered at random, without any particular change in position, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
