I've had these white pimples or spots on the back wall of my throat for a week now, and there's no pain. Initially, I felt a mild tingling when eating dry or condensed foods, but that's gone awayjust the spots remain. I saw an ENT and was prescribed Sompraz L, Sucrale O, and montelukast. It's been a week of medication, and the spots are still there without any pain. I don't smoke or drink alcohol. Should I get any additional tests, or will this clear up on its own? How many more days should I wait? I've attached a photo for reference.

View allI've been told I might need septoplasty surgery and I'm a bit nervous about it. Can you give me an idea of how much this procedure usually costs? I'm trying to plan ahead but not sure what to expect financially for this kind of surgery. Are there different factors that affect the price?

I've had my ears blocked for the past 4 days, and I think it might be due to a cold I had. Not completely sure, though. It sometimes feels like there's water or some fluid in there, and occasionally, when I sneeze, the blockage goes away for a few seconds, but then it comes back. There's a little pain too, which is why I've been taking oxalgin tablets and using drep ear drops. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different?
It sounds like you may be experiencing Eustachian tube dysfunction due to your recent cold. To help relieve the blockage and pain in your ears, I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help reduce the swelling in the Eustachian tubes. You can also try using a nasal spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to further reduce congestion. Additionally, continue using the Otrivin ear drops for relief. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'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.
