Many people believe that swallowing large amounts of rice, banana, or bread can push down a fish bone stuck in the throat, but this is a common myth.

A fish bone can lodge in the tonsils, tongue base, or throat lining. Trying to force food down may actually push the bone deeper, cause irritation, or even lead to infection.
If you feel a sharp, persistent discomfort after eating fish, it’s safest to have it examined by an ENT so it can be removed properly.

Many people take antihistamines on their own whenever allergy symptoms or nasal congestion appear, but self-medication can sometimes do more harm than good.

While antihistamines may offer temporary relief, they cannot treat deeper causes of ongoing nasal issues such as sinusitis, turbinate swelling, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum.
If you find yourself relying on antihistamines frequently or your symptoms keep coming back, it may be time for a proper ENT evaluation to identify what’s really causing the problem.

For accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment, feel free to visit our clinic.

Feeling dizzy or unsteady? Vertigo isn’t just simple lightheadedness many cases actually starts in the inner ear, where balance is controlled. Conditions like BPPV or vestibular imbalance can cause spinning sensations, unsteady walking, nausea, and difficulty with daily activities.

If your dizziness is triggered by head movement, keeps returning, or affects your balance and safety, an ENT evaluation is recommended. Early assessment helps identify the cause and guide the right treatment.

Many people believe that eating sweets directly causes tonsillitis, but this is a common myth.
Tonsillitis is caused by viruses or bacteria, not by chocolates, ice cream, or desserts.

However, sweet foods can irritate an already sensitive throat, making discomfort and inflammation feel worse, especially if you’re starting to get sick.

If your sore throat keeps returning, you have a fever, difficulty swallowing, or swollen tonsils, it’s best to get checked by an ENT for proper diagnosis and treatment.
