Ear ringing, also known as tinnitus, can have various causes and treatments depend on the underlying reason. It is important to first determine the cause of the tinnitus before starting treatment. I recommend your sister to consult an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation. Treatment options may include using a white noise machine, counseling, or medications such as Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dosage of 16 mg three times a day to help with symptoms.

I'm finding that there's this continuous buildup of mucus in my throat, and I have to clear it a lot. It's kind of uncomfortable and I'm starting to get a little worried about it. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing it, and is there anything I can do to get rid of it?

you might have post nasal drip..it may occur due to nasal allergies or rhinosinusitis.. visit an ENT specialist for proper assessment and treatment..

I've been having a really weird problem since I ate some tiny thin fish about three months ago. It feels like there's a bone or something sharp stuck behind my tonsil, and it's been bothering me every time I swallow. I went to see an ENT specialist, and they said there's nothing to worry about and that there's no fishbone there. But it seriously feels like something is poking me back there. It's driving me nuts. What could it be, and should I be worried about it since its been a long time now without improvement?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
