I'm feeling really anxious because I went to the dentist for an emergency treatment today and now I've suddenly got this urge to cough. It feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this possibly be related to COVID? The dentist was super careful and followed all the protocols like wearing a face shield, sanitizing everything, using air purifiers, and taking my temperature. He even mentioned he hasnt seen any other patients in a month. Despite all this, I'm still worried. What should I do about these symptoms I'm experiencing?

I've had a ranula mucocele under my tongue for the past 4 months it keeps bursting and filling up again. Is there any medicine or permanent cure for this? I'm wondering if homeopathy can treat it since allopathy only suggests surgery as the option.

Ranula mucoceles often require surgery for permanent cure; homeopathy has limited evidence for success and may not prevent recurrence.
