Health Q&A
Recurrent throat, mouth, tongue problem
In dec 2024 i got seriously ill, my uvula was elongated (treated with medicine), then after this i got throat infection every month with fever and mouth ulcer, i went to doctor they said it was pharyngitis and gave medicine but the illness kept coming back until august, then in september 2025 i was having serious stomach problems and got diagnosed with ibs. and the throat problem stopped after that. then in jan 2026 it came back again associated with fever, then it happened again in feb and march. so i went to guwahati in march and went to arhi hospital and apollo hospital. i chatted for long with the doctor at arhi explaining my problems, he said my problem wasn't a big one and i did not need a tonsillectomy and advised me to use betadine gargle everyday for 3 months then i went to apollo and the doctor said it was tonsilllopharyngistis and adv tonsillectomy and did aso test (result 49). but my problem is still there with burning mouth syndrome at times.[i followed arhi doctor advice]
Hearing sounds in ear
I have had pulsatile tinnitus (heartbeat-like sound in ear) for a long time. It's not just sound but also palpitating sensations inside ears and at the back of head (whole hind brain part). I developed increased sound sensitivity, especially at night. Even far distant sounds seem to be irritating my ear inside. Most of the sounds hit my ears like sharp, distorted, and irritating, almost like a crackling noise. I also hear sounds like beep, or tick tick inside my ear. I'm unable to tolerate even white noise at night. Sometimes the tinnitus is accompanied by a sound/sensation similar to that of opening and closing of ear. It has become too hard to sleep. What can I do about this?
Elongated Bump in Back of Throat
