I've noticed a kind of swelling behind my uvula that I can feel with my tongue. Could this be nasal polyps or something else? I've been kind of worried about it and could use some advice on what this might be.

View allI have hearing loss and my doctor recommended ear surgery because there's some damage to the layers in my ear and a small hole. Is there any alternative to surgery? Can homeopathy help repair this or should I see a good homeopathic doctor? Here are my test results what do you suggest?
The recommended ear surgery likely refers to tympanoplasty, a procedure to repair a damaged eardrum (tympanic membrane). This surgery can improve hearing, especially if a hole in the eardrum (perforation) or damage to the surrounding layers is causing hearing loss. Tympanoplasty involves using a graft (tissue or synthetic material) to patch or reconstruct the damaged eardrum.

I'm dealing with BPPV and it's been really tough. Every time I turn my head towards the left, it feels like the room is spinning and I lose my balance. I've seen two doctors about it. The first said there's no medication for this, but the second prescribed Valium 2 and Vertin 24 for a couple of weeks and suggested some tests. They also performed the Epley Maneuver and taught me how to do it at home. My schedule is pretty hectic since I work 23 days weekly, mostly overnight due to different time zones, and the doctor advised me not to stay up all night. I'm just really anxious about when this will get better because it's affecting my daily life and I'm worried about whether these medicines will help or if something more serious might happen.
BPPV can be uncomfortable and worrying, but with the right treatment (including the Epley Maneuver), most people recover fully. It may take some time, so try to be patient and follow your doctor's instructions. The medications you are taking are supportive in managing symptoms, but the physical therapy (Epley) is key to addressing the root cause. If the problem continues or worsens, dont hesitate to revisit your doctor for further advice.

I'm really struggling with my sinusitis and just wanted to get some advice. I've been taking Microdox LBX capsules with Sinarest tablets before meals, and using a Nasowash sachet with a Nasowash sneezing bottle to clean my nose. Afterward, I take steam and then use a hot cloth as a compress. I also gargle with warm water and then use Sane Nasal Drops, putting in four drops. About 5 to 10 minutes later, I do some breathing exercises like Alom Vilom and Kapal Bharti. I finish off with Fluticone FT nasal spray. Even though my PNS X-ray says my sinus problem is very minor, my throat pain just won't go away. Any idea what's going on or what else I could try?
