Question

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?

Question

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?

Question

I've noticed that I'm always dealing with one blocked nostril, and it's really odd because it only feels unblock while I'm taking a hot shower. It's not a runny nose or anything that feels like a cold. Could this be something I should be concerned about? Is there a reason why the steam or heat from the shower might be helping?
