Question

My sister-in-law has been hearing a hissing sound in quiet settings. She got an audiology test and a CT venogram of the neck and skull base done results are attached. Just wondering if this might need surgery or if it can be treated with meds. What do you think?

If no vascular cause is found, it may be tinnitus; surgery is rarely needed—meds or sound therapy may help.

Question

I've had these white pimples or spots on the back wall of my throat for a week now, and there's no pain. Initially, I felt a mild tingling when eating dry or condensed foods, but that's gone awayjust the spots remain. I saw an ENT and was prescribed Sompraz L, Sucrale O, and montelukast. It's been a week of medication, and the spots are still there without any pain. I don't smoke or drink alcohol. Should I get any additional tests, or will this clear up on its own? How many more days should I wait? I've attached a photo for reference.
