I've had this throat infection for over a month now, and even after visiting an ENT and being on antibiotics for a week, it feels like things aren't improving. There's still some granulation in my posterior pharyngeal area, and I'm not seeing any real change there. I stopped smoking a couple of months ago, which I thought might help. Should I keep trying home remedies? I'm getting a sore throat every morning but no other symptoms. Any advice on what I should do next?

I'm really concerned because I initially had tonsils and a sore throat, so I took some antibiotics that were prescribed to me before, but now things seemed to get worse. I've developed this itchy and dry throat along with the tonsils, and I'm experiencing a lot of coughing at night when I'm trying to sleep and even some during the day. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do?

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.

I've been dealing with this weird crawling sensation in my right ear for months now. I've already seen two ENT specialists and my GP, but no one found anything. They told me not to use ear buds, although I rarely do. One of the specialists mentioned that the lack of wax might be causing it and gave me ear drops, but they're not helping. The sensation comes and goes, but it's really starting to drive me crazy. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could try?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called "tinnitus," which can cause sensations like crawling, buzzing, or ringing in the ears. In your case, since there is no visible issue inside the ear and minimal wax, the crawling sensation could be due to nerve signals misfiring in the ear. I recommend trying a medication like Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. Betahistine can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. However, please consult your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is suitable for you.
