Question 1

After eating chicken about a year ago, I felt like a bone got stuck in my throat. I went to an ENT specialist and got an X-ray, which turned out normal. A few months ago, I felt that same stuck sensation in the same spot after eating something and ended up coughing and vomiting, which made me feel better. Today, I had food and felt the same thing again, same spot, and I coughed and vomited again, but this time, I noticed some bloody sputum, and I've had a cough for the last two days. Im wondering why its the same spot every time and if the blood could be related to this cough and cold. What do you think might be going on?

Question 2

Hey, I'm really worried about my mom. Shes been dealing with vertigo, and our family doctor says its related to her middle ear. For the past two days, shes been stuck in bed. Every little move makes her so dizzy, and she even vomits when trying to get up. On top of that, staying in bed has caused her shoulder and back to hurt terribly. What can we do to help her feel better and get rid of this quickly? This is all so sudden and she's never had these issues before. She's on vertistar md8 as prescribed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

For vertigo symptoms related to the middle ear, it is important to continue taking Vertistar MD-8 as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, I recommend keeping her well-hydrated and ensuring she gets plenty of rest. To alleviate the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, she can also take 'Stugeron' which helps in relieving vertigo symptoms. For the shoulder and back pain, she can take 'Flexon' to help with the discomfort. It is advisable for her to avoid sudden head movements and to slowly change positions to prevent triggering vertigo episodes. If her symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've been dealing with bad breath for a while now, and my tongue always has a white coating with white lesions on it. No matter what I try, the bad breath won't go away. There's also this weird metallic or sulfur-like taste in my mouth, and I feel like I've lost my normal sense of taste. I've had sinus surgery, an endoscopy, and everything seems fine, but the issue still persists. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

Accepted Answer

The most common cause of a white tongue is poor oral hygiene. Small bumps on the tongue called papillae can swell up and become inflamed in a mouth that is not cared for well. Plenty of germs, debris, food particles, and dead cells can get stuck between these papillae.
