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.

Question

I've had really bad nasal congestion worse on the right side for 2 years now and my CT scan showed polypoidal mucosal thickening in all my sinuses plus a mild S shaped nasal deviation. My ENT put me on Montek 10 mg and Flutiflo nasal spray but I'm not getting much relief. Tried Ayurveda too with no luck. I'm diabetic, hypertensive and hypothyroid on meds - really don't want surgery but need something that'll actually work. What's the best medical treatment option for me?

Question

I've been really anxious about something recently. I tested positive for COVID-19 about a month ago, and a week after that, I got mild pneumonia. The doctor put me on steroids, and now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm really worried about the risk of getting black fungus. I've never had diabetes or any other diseases, and I was in home isolation the whole time I had COVID. Do you think I could still be at risk for contracting it?

Question

I had septoplasty about six months ago to correct my deviated septum, but ever since, I've been having trouble breathing and can't sleep at all during the night. My nose feels really dry, and it seems like the air isn't getting to my lungs properly. I went back to my doctor, and they said it might be an allergy, but I'm not really convinced. I've been reading about empty nose syndrome and wondering if that's what I might have. Is there any way to cure ENS or manage these symptoms better?
