I've been dealing with this feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat for the last 34 years and it's really frustrating because it happens even in the summer. I tried gargling but that didn't help at all. A few months back I saw an ENT specialist in Ghaziabad, and he said nothing was stuck in my throat. What should I do next?

You can try using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. You can take Mucinex 600mg extended-release tablets once daily with plenty of water. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce any post-nasal drip contributing to the sensation. Use Flonase 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. If the issue persists, you may consider a referral to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation of acid reflux as a possible cause of your symptoms.

Is it safe to use an inhaler for a cold? I've heard that Vicks inhalers have been banned in some countries. Could using an inhaler start sinus issues?

Inhaler usage typically does not initiate sinus issues. In fact, inhalers are commonly used to treat conditions like asthma and COPD. If you have concerns about sinus issues, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm noticing a bit of redness inside my left nostril. There's no pain, just some irritation, and I've been rubbing it a bit. I recently spent a day in a house that's under construction, and now it's feeling itchy. Could this be something serious that needs me to see an ENT, or is there a simple solution I can try at home?

For itchiness and irritation, you can use saline nasal spray and if you have dust allergy, use face mask in exposure to dust or pollution.

I'm really worried about my 3.5-year-old daughter. She's been breathing through her mouth for over two years now. We saw an ENT specialist, and they mentioned her air veins are blocked. We did the whole treatment with cepodem, delcan, aerodil syrups, and nebulisation for five days. She seemed to breathe better afterward but still through her mouth. The doctor listened again and heard something that led us to get a nose X-ray. It showed she has adenoid hypertrophy, Grade 4. Theyre suggesting we consider an endoscopic debrider adenoidectomy. Im really unsure about going through with this. Are there any risks with this surgery? Can medication alone treat this, and is she too young at 3.5 for such a procedure? Any advice would be appreciated.

Pediatric opinion is advised to the patient.

I threw up a couple of days ago, and since then my throat has been hurting a lot. It's really tough to even drink water or swallow anything. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Based on your symptoms and previous medication, here are some alternative suggestions: Consult your doctor before taking any new medication. 1. Antacids: Gelusil or Digene for heartburn and acid reflux 2. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for acid reduction 3. Histamine-2 (H2) blockers: Ranitidine or Famotidine for acid reduction Monitor your blood pressure and adjust medications accordingly. Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Hey, I've noticed that I can easily find my pulse in my neck on both sides, but when I slide my fingers up a bit, the right side feels like there's a larger tube compared to the left. I'm wondering if this is just my carotid artery and if it's normal for one side to be a bit bigger. Could it be something else like a swollen lymph node or a tumor? I haven't had any symptoms and feel generally healthy otherwise, just curious about this difference.

Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate the lump and pains. Given the lump's long-standing presence and recent pain, it's essential to rule out potential issues. Possible causes include: Epididymal cyst Spermatocele Varicocele Testicular torsion (unlikely, given the lump's long history) Avoid self-diagnosis and seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and peace of mind.

I'm dealing with this weird sensation where the left side of my mouth always feels itchy and slightly painful, almost like it's dry. It's just before my throat and past my left tonsil. This has been bugging me for months now. Sometimes, it reminds me of a mouth ulcer, but it just keeps coming back after a few days. Plus, when I sleep on my left side for a while, it feels uncomfortable because only my left nostril stays open, and the airflow directly hits that area. Any idea what might be going on here?

I'm waking up every morning with a sore throat, and I notice white mucus, plus my mouth and lips feel really dry. On top of that, I'm getting pain in my teeth and jaw, and feeling fatigued, with headaches sometimes. What could be causing all these symptoms?

May indicate symptoms of a possible sinus infection or post-nasal drip. I recommend taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the mucus production and throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages and relieve dryness. For the pain in your teeth and jaw, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and get adequate rest to help with fatigue. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with a post-nasal drip that's been giving me a sore throat for the last few days. It's making it so hard to sleep because of the pressure in my ear. I've tried stuff like Strepsils and gargling with salt water, which helps a bit but doesn't last. I've also been taking 5ml of Ambroxol Hydrochloride at night and added Ascoril LS as well as Maxtra P over the last couple of days since I thought maybe that's what's causing the sore throat. I don't have a runny nose, but I'm living in a place that gets dusty even with window filters. I'm a bit allergic too... Could all this dust and stuff be part of the problem? What else can I try for some more long-term relief?

You seem to be experiencing symptoms of post nasal drip with a sore throat, difficulty sleeping, and ear pressure. Since you have already tried some home remedies and medications, I would recommend the following treatment plan for you: 1. Continue with Ambroxol Hydrochloride 5ml once every night before sleep to help with mucus clearance. 2. Continue with Ascoril LS+ 5ml to help with cough and congestion. 3. Switch from Maxtra P to Levocetirizine 5mg once daily to help with allergies and post nasal drip. 4. Additionally, you can try using a saline nasal spray to help clear out your nasal passages. 5. It's also important to address the dust in your living environment by regularly cleaning and dusting to reduce allergen exposure. 6. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management. I hope this treatment plan helps alleviate your symptoms.

I'm having this issue with one side of my nose being blocked all the time, and it switches sides during the day. At night it gets hard to breathe, even through the side that's open. My ears feel blocked too, and my head is constantly heavy, but I'm not dealing with a cold. This has been going on for about four months, and I've already seen my family doctor and tried cetrizine and paracetamol, but nothing's helping. Who should I see about this? Also, is it okay if I use Otrivin daily for my nose problem?

Eating cucumber and dahi (yogurt) is unlikely to cause or worsen a sore throat; in fact, yogurt has anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe a sore throat; however, the acidity in tomatoes might slightly irritate the throat, but this is usually temporary and mild; it's more likely that your sore throat persists due to the underlying viral or bacterial infection, and it may take some time to fully recover, so continue with your medicatio

I'm really worried about this ongoing issue I've been having. It all started with just one nostril being stuffy, and I thought it was just a regular flu or runny nose, so I didn't pay much attention and took some over-the-counter meds. But here I am, 9 months later, and it's still not better. Now I've got these headaches around my forehead and the back of my head, and the mucus drainage smells really badnot like the usual kind. Plus, every time I try to clear my nose, I feel this pressure in my ears, which even causes me to cough. I haven't seen a doctor yet, but from what I've looked up, I'm suspecting it's some kind of sinus infection. What should I do?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a chronic sinus infection, given the persistent symptoms of nasal congestion, foul-smelling mucus, headaches, and ear pressure. It's important to see a doctor, ideally an ENT specialist, for a thorough evaluation and to discuss possible treatments such as antibiotics or nasal irrigation to help clear the infection.

I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with a dry cough for about six months now. I did take a full course of an antibiotic syrup after consulting with my doctor, but the cough just keeps coming back. Interestingly, I noticed that when I traveled to Varanasi for a week, I didnt cough at all, but as soon as I got back to Panvel, the coughing started up again. Could this be related to something environmental or do you think theres another issue at play?

The persistent dry cough for six months, despite antibiotic treatment, and its mysterious disappearance during a 7-day trip to Varanasi, only to return upon coming back to Panvel, suggests an environmental trigger; consider consulting a pulmonologist or allergist to investigate possible causes, such as air pollution, dust, mold, or pet allergies, specific to the Panvel environment, and conduct tests like spirometry, chest X-ray, or allergy panels to determine the underlying cause.

I recently saw an ENT doctor who did a full face x-ray and said that the bone on one side of my nostril is bent, which is blocking a bit of the airway and leaving very little space to breathe on that side. He gave me some medicine for 10 days, but I'm unsure if this will actually help in straightening the bone or if surgery might be necessary. I've been feeling really weak and I think it's because I'm not getting enough oxygen. What should I do?

Thats DNS nad needs surgical correction based on severity, follow your doctors advice.

I've noticed that my tonsils have been really swollen for a while now, ever since I had a whooping cough. The doctor mentioned they were large and red, but I didn't really feel any discomfort like pain or issues with swallowing. Lately, my friends told me I've been snoring, and Im starting to wonder if it's linked to my tonsils. I quit smoking completely, and while my cough went away, the swelling in my tonsils hasnt. Theyre so big that theres only a small gap between them. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that will eventually go back to normal?

As you say your tonsils look swollen with no symptoms.without any further delay visit ENT docotor for rvaluating other conditions and appropriate approach.

I'm a couple of days post-operation for piles and now I'm dealing with a fever, along with some cold symptoms and body pain. Is this something that just happens sometimes, or should I be worried that it's more serious?

Bathing after eating fruits like mango and banana is generally safe. No specific gap is required, but consider: 1. _Digestion time_: Wait at least 30-60 minutes after eating to allow for digestion. 2. _Blood sugar levels_: Fruits like mango and banana can cause a temporary spike in blood sugar. Bathing shortly after may lead to: - Dizziness - Lightheadedness - Shivering To be cautious: 1. Wait 1-2 hours after eating fruits before bathing. 2. Take a warm shower instead of a cold bath to avoid shocking your system. No serious health issues will arise from bathing after eating fruits. However, being mindful of digestion time and blood sugar levels can ensure a comfortable bathing experience.

I felt a hard lump in the back of my throat, kind of like a bone, and I can touch it with my finger. I have Achalasia, and it's been really tough for me to eat and drink because of the pain. Do you think this lump is related to that, or could it be something I should be worried about?

I'm finally over my cold and all the symptoms, which is great. But now I'm wondering how to stop taking the tablets I've been on. I was prescribed a combination of fexofenadine 120 mg and montelukast 10 mg to take at night for six months, and I've just finished that period. The doctor who prescribed it has moved abroad, and I'm not sure what to do next. I tried skipping the medication for two days, but started experiencing itching all over my body. I was initially taking this for a runny nose from 6 am to 11 am every day. Since these medications have worked and my cold is completely cured, how should I go about stopping them?

Ceruklin Ear Drops are typically used for 3-5 days before earwax is softened and removed. Since you've already used the drops for 5 days, consider: - Continuing for 1-2 more days (max 7 days) - Having your ears checked by a doctor or ENT specialist - Using ear drops as directed and avoiding excessive use If the wax persists, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and removal.

I've been dealing with pain in my lower jaw near my ear, and my neck for about five months now, and Im getting really worried. I first saw an ENT a few months ago, and he didn't find any infections in my sinus or ear. My dentist mentioned a few issues, and I got those treatments done, but he still thinks it could be a tooth fracture, and also suggested checking for TMJD or Eagle Syndrome. Meanwhile, my general physician thinks it might be trigeminal neuralgia. My symptoms include a constant burning pain in the lower jaw under the ear with mild swelling on the right side, ear pain, and a clogged feeling with a small lump on the side of my neck. An ultrasound didn't reveal any abnormalities, but there's ringing and a soft humming sound in my ear, especially when I lie down with the AC or fan on. My ear feels completely clogged at times, and theres sore pain on one spot on the top of my head above the ear, plus a constant feeling of something being stuck in my throat, and my neck feels tight and stiff. This all started back in May when I was chewing a lot. I'm thinking of going back to the ENT; do you think they could help diagnose if this is some kind of neuralgia or nerve issue? It's been a really tough time, and I'd love some advice on what to do next.

To further manage your cough: - Avoid irritants: dust, smoke, and pollution - Stay hydrated: drink plenty of warm fluids - Rest: get plenty of sleep to aid recovery - Saline nasal sprays: help moisturize your nasal passages - Consult your doctor: about cough suppressants or alternative treatments Remember to follow your doctor's guidance and attend follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth recovery.

Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions. Explore sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relaxation techniques to manage symptoms. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) can help your brain habituate to tinnitus. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding loud noises and managing stress, can also help. While there's no cure, these strategies can alleviate symptoms.

I'm really worried because during a recent medical check-up, they found nodules about 1-1.5 cm on my thyroid. I honestly don't feel like I have any health issues and have checked my thyroid reports twice and everything, including TCH, is normal. I'm feeling really anxious about this. What could this mean? What should I do next?

The symptoms you're describing, such as hearing sounds or feeling like something is stuck in your ear, could be related to: Earwax buildup Eustachian tube dysfunction Middle ear issues Ear infections Tinnitus Consult an ENT specialist for a thorough examination and proper diagnosis.

I'm curious about this recurring pain I've been experiencing around my throat and jaw. It happens about once a month and it really hurts, especially when I touch it from outside or move my head. A doctor mentioned it might be due to tonsillitis, but I don't have that sore throat feeling inside. It's only on the outside of my throat and jaw area. Could this really be tonsillitis, or could it be something else entirely?

Detection of thyroid nodules can be concerning. Since your thyroid function tests (TFTs) are normal, it's a good sign. Next steps: - Consult an endocrinologist or a thyroid specialist. - Discuss Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) or ultrasound-guided biopsy to determine the nature of the nodules. - Follow-up appointments will help monitor the nodules' size and characteristics. Stay calm, and follow your doctor's guidance.

I'm Zac and I've been having some issues lately. My tonsils have turned a yellow color, and it's been going on for a few days now. They seem to be getting worse, and there are more spots than before. About a month ago, I had a lot of swelling and pain in the same area. I'm really worried about what's causing all this. Any advice?

Pain in the jaw and throat area can be puzzling. Tonsillitis typically causes sore throat, fever, and difficulty swallowing. Your symptoms, focused on the outer throat and jaw, might suggest alternative causes: - Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder - Jaw alignment issues - Referred pain from dental problems Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a dentist for a thorough evaluation.

I've had swollen lymph nodes for about seven months now, and while they're moveable and don't hurt, they just won't go away. The FNAC test I did said they're reactive, but after trying antibiotics, nothing's changed theyre still the same size. I dont have any other symptoms, so I'm kind of at a loss here. What should my next steps be? Trying not to worry too much, but it's been a while.

Hello Zac San, Yellow patches on the tonsils can be concerning. Possible causes: - Tonsillitis - Tonsil stones (calcified debris) - Oral thrush (fungal infection) - Strep throat Given your history of swelling and pain, it's essential to consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for a thorough examination and diagnosis.

I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my throat, and it's really tough to swallow. There's also this annoying feeling like a lump's stuck in my throat. Any idea what might be going on?

Persistent swollen lymph nodes can be concerning. Given the FNAC result shows reactive lymph nodes, it's likely a benign condition. Consider the following steps: - Consult a hematologist or an oncologist for a second opinion. - Rule out underlying conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or autoimmune disorders. - Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans may help identify the cause. - Excisional biopsy might be necessary if the node persists. Don't hesitate to seek a specialist's opinion for further guidance.

I've had swollen lymph nodes for almost three weeks, but I otherwise feel healthy and can't figure out why they're swollen. I've been to my GP and had an ultrasound and blood test, but I'm still waiting on results. I do have anxiety, and it's stressing me out that my lymph nodes have been swollen for so long. Any idea why this could be happening or how serious it might be?

Those symptoms can be uncomfortable and concerning. Possible causes: - Tonsillitis - Pharyngitis - Acid reflux (GERD) - Postnasal drip - Muscle tension Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for a thorough examination and diagnosis.

I've noticed a lump between my ear and jaw that's been sore for about three days now. It hasn't changed in size and doesn't seem like it can move around. I'm 18, so I'm a bit worried. Any idea what it might be?

Excessive sneezing and nasal congestion can be frustrating! Given your symptoms and the ineffectiveness of Fexofenadine, consider the following options: 1. _Consult an Allergist_: For comprehensive allergy testing to identify specific allergens triggering your symptoms. 2. _Nasal Sprays_: Add a nasal spray to your treatment, such as: - Azelastine (antihistamine) - Fluticasone (steroid) - Ipratropium (anticholinergic) 3. _Immunotherapy_: If allergy testing reveals specific allergens, consider immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual tablets) for long-term relief. 4. _Saline Nasal Irrigation_: Regularly rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution to remove allergens and reduce congestion. 5. _HEPA Filters_: Use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your home to reduce allergen exposure. Discuss these options with your ENT doctor or allergist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm having this persistent pain on the left side of my throat that started last May. I had an endoscopy, but nothing showed up. The pain eased for a while, but now it's back. It's really painful under my tongue, especially deep on the left side, almost like a sore. The rest of my tongue feels fine. I'm kind of worried and just need to understand what might be going on. Can you help me figure this out?

A lump between the ear and jaw can be concerning! Given your age and symptoms, possible causes include: 1. *Lymphadenitis*: Inflamed lymph nodes due to infection (e.g., ear, throat, or dental issues). 2. *Parotid gland swelling*: Inflammation of the parotid gland, which can be caused by infection, blockage, or trauma. 3. *Abscess or cyst*: A collection of pus or fluid that can cause pain and swelling. It's essential to consult a doctor, preferably an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. Physical examination 2. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) 3. Blood tests to check for infection or inflammation In the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce pain and discomfort.

I've been dealing with constant ear blockages and this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and chest ever since I got over COVID three months ago. It's weird because whenever I try to spit, I get this sharp pain in my ear, throat, and chest all at once. I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's getting hard to breathe sometimes. Could this be related to post-COVID symptoms? I also had anxiety and palpitations after COVID and was on ivabradine and Nexito Plus. Any idea what's going on with me?

The pain under the left side of the tongue could be due to: 1. Sublingual gland infection or inflammation 2. Salivary gland stone 3. Lingual tonsillitis 4. Trauma or injury 5. Oral cancer (rarely) Consult an ENT specialist or an oral surgeon for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) 2. Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) 3. Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for months now, alongside sneezing and a runny nose. Initially, I thought it was just a regular cold, but a blood test revealed it's a dust allergy. I was prescribed histafree tablets, which worked for a while, but once I stopped, my symptoms came back. I've seen another doctor who told me theres a nasal allergy leading to a mild airway blockage and wheezing, so now I'm using an inhaler and telecast f tablets. Its been 20 days, and while the sneezing has gotten better, the cough is still sticking around. Is continuing with the inhaler advisable? I'm trying to figure out the best way to tackle this. Any insights?

The sensation of a lump or tightness in your throat is likely due to: 1. Globus sensation (a harmless condition) 2. Acid reflux 3. Tonsillitis 4. Muscle tension Consult an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, try: - Gargling with warm salt water - Avoiding acidic or spicy foods - Managing stress through relaxation techniques

I'm a bit concerned because I've been noticing this yellow liquid discharge for about a month now. It varies between being thick and light, but there's no pain involved. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest what I should do?

Anxiety can indeed cause physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and palpitations. However, in most cases, anxiety-related heart symptoms are not a sign of underlying heart disease. Nevertheless, chronic anxiety can increase cardiovascular risk factors over time, such as high blood pressure and heart rate. But sudden cardiac arrest or heart attack due to anxiety alone is rare. To alleviate concerns, consider consulting a cardiologist and a mental health professional. They can help you manage anxiety and monitor cardiovascular health.

I've been dealing with a sore throat that started a couple of months ago. I took antibiotics for a week, and it seemed to clear up. But theres this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side of my throat. After meals, tiny food particles and debris get trapped there, and I often have to gargle to get rid of them. There's no pain, fever, or cough, but I recently removed a tonsil stone myself. Should I be worried that this is something serious? Im concerned and would appreciate some advice. Oh, and the picture I took is inverted, where left means right and right means left.

Yellow liquid discharge from the ear can be a sign of an ear infection, such as otitis externa or otitis media. It's essential to consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for evaluation. They may perform an otoscopy, take a sample for testing, or prescribe antibiotics. Keep the ear dry and avoid inserting objects. Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

I've been dealing with a runny nose for about three weeks now. Whenever I take my medication, it seems to get better, but as soon as I stop, it comes back. I'm currently on levocetirizine, montekast, Sinarest, metaspray, and nip-slip tablets. I'm worried this isn't going away. Could it be something I'm missing or not doing right?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you may have a narrow esophagus or a condition called esophageal dysmotility, which can cause food particles to get stuck. The feeling of something stuck in your throat, even after recovering from a sore throat, could be related to this. Tonsil stones can also cause discomfort. However, without examining the picture and considering your overall medical history, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I strongly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and guidance. They may perform an endoscopy or imaging tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I'm dealing with tonsil stones for the past year and I've noticed some small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove a few, but can't get rid of the ones on the outer part. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat, but I don't have any ear pain, fever, swelling, or sore throat. The only issue is a dry throat. What should I do next? How can I relieve this problem without surgery? I've been gargling with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis? Any advice would be really helpful.

Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions like allergies, sinusitis, or non-allergic rhinitis. Consider: 1. Allergy testing 2. Nasal endoscopy 3. Imaging tests (CTMRI scans) Continue medications as prescribed, and explore additional measures like humidifiers, saline nasal sprays, and avoiding irritants.

I've noticed that both sides of my parotid glands have been swollen for the last five years. There's no pain, but I've been to an ENT specialist who did an MRI, an ultrasound, and some blood tests. Everything came back normal, except that he said my parotid glands are enlarged and mentioned it might be something I was born with. What's got me worried is that I've observed these glands getting bigger every year. I've been trying to maintain a good diet, avoiding oily foods, and doing regular exercise, yet my face remains swollen. Should I be concerned about this and consider seeing another specialist?

1. Drink plenty of water to help dislodge the object. 2. Eat a banana or something soft to help push it down. 3. Cough vigorously to try and expel the object. 4. If the object is stuck and you're experiencing difficulty breathing, call emergency services immediately. 5. Visit an ENT specialist or an urgent care center for further assistance.

I'm noticing a whooshing sound in my right ear that's in sync with my heartbeat. It seems to get louder whenever I run or climb stairs. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

Consider a second opinion from another ENT specialist or a maxillofacial surgeon. Discuss: 1. Repeat imaging tests (MRIultrasound) to monitor gland size. 2. Salivary gland function tests (e.g., salivary flow rate). 3. Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to rule out underlying conditions. Explore treatment options, such as: 1. Medications to reduce gland size. 2. Surgical interventions (e.g., parotidectomy). 3. Lifestyle modifications (e.g., dietary changes, stress management).

I'm experiencing a weird sound in my right ear every now and then. It kind of sounds like a motor running or a continuous 'gu gu gu' noise. I can't quite figure it out. It mostly happens when I'm trying to sleep, and sometimes it just stops on its own. I'm really confused about what's going on. Any idea what this could be?

The whooshing sound in sync with your heartbeat is likely due to: 1. Pulsatile tinnitus 2. Eustachian tube dysfunction 3. Vascular issues (e.g., abnormal blood flow) Consult an ENT specialist or an audiologist for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really worried about what's going on with me. I woke up on Sunday with a sore throat and now both my tonsils are super swollen, red, and have these white spots all over them. Plus, my uvula has these weird red dots. Swallowing is so painful, and my lymph nodes are really tender. What could be causing all this and should I be worried?

Unsettling ear sounds can be disturbing! The "gu gu gu" or motor-like sound in your right ear could be: 1. *Tinnitus*: A common condition characterized by ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ear. 2. *Eustachian tube dysfunction*: The tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the throat might be blocked, causing unusual sounds. 3. *Earwax buildup*: Excess earwax can cause strange noises, especially when lying down. 4. *Middle ear muscle spasms*: Tiny muscles in the middle ear can contract and cause sounds. To alleviate the issue: 1. *Consult an ENT specialist*: For a thorough examination and diagnosis. 2. *Try ear drops*: To help dissolve excess earwax. 3. *Use a white noise machine*: To mask the sound while sleeping. 4. *Avoid loud noises*: And take regular breaks in quiet environments. Keep in mind that these sounds can be intermittent and might resolve on their own. However, it's essential to consult a specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm really struggling with my left nostril being blocked for over a month now, and it's tough to breathe easily. It's causing me these massive headaches and my nose keeps running. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

Sounds like a painful and uncomfortable situation! Your symptoms suggest: 1. *Tonsillitis*: Inflammation of the tonsils, likely caused by a bacterial (e.g., streptococcal) or viral infection. 2. *Strep throat*: A bacterial infection that can cause swollen, red, and white-spotted tonsils. Seek medical attention from an *ENT specialist* or a *primary care physician*. They may: 1. Perform a *rapid strep test* or *throat culture* to confirm the diagnosis. 2. Prescribe *antibiotics* (if bacterial) or recommend *supportive care* (if viral). 3. Provide guidance on *pain management* and *hydration*. In the meantime, try: 1. *Staying hydrated* with plenty of fluids. 2. *Gargling with salt water* to soothe the throat. 3. *Using a humidifier* to add moisture to the air. Feel better soon!

I'm getting really worried because for the last 20 days I've been feeling super uncomfortable near my esophagus when I swallow saliva or food. I'm taking 4 doses of pansec, monocef, and metrogyl, but there's been no improvement. The doctor said it's tonsillitis after just a physical exam. Could there be something else going on? Looking forward to your insight.

A blocked nostril can be quite uncomfortable! Given your symptoms, possible causes include: 1. _Deviated septum_: A crooked partition between the nostrils. 2. _Nasal polyps_: Growths in the nasal lining. 3. _Chronic sinusitis_: Inflammation of the sinuses. 4. _Allergies_: Seasonal or environmental allergies. 5. _Foreign object_: Something lodged in the nostril. To alleviate your symptoms, try: 1. _Nasal saline irrigation_: Rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution. 2. _Humidifiers_: Add moisture to the air to ease congestion. 3. _Steam inhalation_: Breathe in warm, moist air to loosen mucus. Consult an _ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist_ for a thorough examination and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. _Nasal endoscopy_: A flexible tube with a camera to visualize the nasal passages. 2. _Imaging tests_: CT or MRI scans to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Medications_: Decongestants, antihistamines, or steroids to alleviate symptoms. Seek medical attention to breathe easy again!

I've been sneezing like 20 to 30 times a day, my nose is constantly stuffy, and my eyes are so watery. I talked to an ENT doctor and they had me take fexofenadine for a month, but it's not really helping. Do you have any better ideas to help with this?

Persistent discomfort near the esophagus while swallowing can be concerning! Given your symptoms and lack of improvement with the prescribed medications, consider the following possibilities: 1. _Esophagitis_: Inflammation of the esophagus, possibly caused by acid reflux or infection. 2. _Dysphagia_: Difficulty swallowing due to a narrowing or obstruction of the esophagus. 3. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, causing discomfort and inflammation. 4. _Esophageal spasm_: Abnormal muscle contractions in the esophagus, leading to discomfort and difficulty swallowing. It's essential to seek further evaluation and diagnosis from: 1. _Gastroenterologist_: For an endoscopy or other diagnostic tests to examine the esophagus and stomach. 2. _ENT specialist_: To reassess the tonsillitis diagnosis and explore other possible causes. In the meantime, try: 1. _Avoiding trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that exacerbate your symptoms. 2. _Eating smaller, more frequent meals_: To reduce discomfort and difficulty swallowing. 3. _Staying upright after meals_: To minimize acid reflux and discomfort. Please consult your doctor or a specialist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm experiencing headaches frequently and I'm really worried. I already visited an ENT doctor, but the headaches keep coming back. What could be causing them and should I see a different specialist?

Headaches can have various causes, including stress, dehydration, eye strain, or even underlying medical conditions. For relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache. Make sure to stay hydrated, practice good posture, and manage stress levels. If the headaches persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your primary care physician for further evaluation and management.

Persistent dry cough may require a different approach. You can try taking Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) 25mg every 6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, you can use Robitussin DM (Dextromethorphan and Guaifenesin) 10ml every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to help soothe your throat.

I've been struggling with allergic rhinitis for a while and honestly, it feels like I've tried it all, but nothing seems to work long-term. Every treatment I've gone through just offers short-lived relief. Is there actually a permanent cure for this? It's really becoming frustrating, and I'd love to know if there's something more effective out there.

Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for allergic rhinitis. However, there are medications that can help manage the symptoms effectively. Antihistamines such as Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine) can help relieve sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Nasal corticosteroid sprays like Flonase (fluticasone) or Nasacort (triamcinolone) can reduce inflammation and congestion in the nasal passages. In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe immunotherapy to desensitize your body to allergens over time. It is important to continue treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider for long-term management of allergic rhinitis.

I've been dealing with post nasal drips for a while and was using Nasivion S spray and Montair LC, but now my new doctor switched me to Metaspray nasal spray and Histrafree 120 tablets. After taking them this morning, I noticed swelling and a discoloration on the roof of my mouth. Should I stop taking these meds or keep going with what the doctor prescribed?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the new medications. The swelling and discoloration of the hard palate in your mouth could be a sign of an allergic response. I recommend stopping the Metaspray nasal spray and Tab Histrafree 120 immediately. Please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm prone to catching a common cold or viral fever a couple of times every year. I've heard that in western countries, there's something called a flu shot. Is there anything similar in India? If it exists, what's it called and where can I get it? If not, what other options do I have?

In India, the flu shot is also available and it is commonly known as the influenza vaccine. You can get the influenza vaccine at most pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics. It is recommended to get the flu shot annually before the flu season starts, usually in the months of September to November. Alternatively, you can also consider taking over-the-counter medications like paracetamol for fever and pain relief, antihistamines for runny nose and sneezing, and decongestants for nasal congestion. It is important to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of infections.

I accidentally took Allegra 120mg once in the afternoon and then again at night. Should I be worried about that? Are there any serious side effects from taking it twice like this?

If you mistakenly take two doses of Allegra 120mg in a day, there may be an increased risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and headache. It is important to stick to the recommended dosage of one tablet (120mg) per day to avoid potential adverse effects. If you have taken two doses in a day, monitor yourself for any unusual symptoms and consider skipping the next dose to prevent further complications.

I've been dealing with some sinus issues since I got the Covishield shot about a week ago, and it's got me worried. You see, I've had this sinus pain, there's a lot of white and yellow mucus, and it sometimes hurts around my upper jaw and between my eyes. Oddly, the pain seems to ease up in the morning but gets worse after eating. There are times when I have headaches on either side of my head, just above the ears, and my nose gets blocked too. I've tried steam inhalation with Karvol capsules, and while it helps for a bit, it doesn't last. I'm also using Otrivin for daily nasal wash, but the relief's so short-lived. I met an ENT specialist a couple of months ago for a precautionary checkup about mucormycosis because of my worries, but my KOH test came back negative, and I don't have diabetes. But they did find four nasal polyps through endoscopy. I'm curious to know if the vaccine could be causing these sinus issues or if it's related to something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing sinusitis, which can be triggered by various factors including viral infections like COVID-19, allergies, or nasal polyps. In your case, the development of sinus symptoms after receiving the Covishield vaccine may be coincidental rather than directly related to the vaccine itself. To help alleviate your symptoms, I recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin-Clavulanate for the sinus infection. Additionally, you can use a nasal corticosteroid spray like Fluticasone to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. For nasal polyps, you can try using a nasal corticosteroid spray as well, but if they are large or causing significant symptoms, surgical removal may be necessary. It's important to continue steam inhalation with Karvpul capsules for relief and Otrivin nasal wash for temporary relief. Make sure to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management of your sinus issues.

I'm a 34-year-old female and recently noticed a white oval lump behind my tonsil on the left side of my mouth. I only spotted it last month while dealing with some wisdom teeth issues. It doesn't hurt or cause any symptoms, but I'm really anxious about it because I have health anxiety. I drink moderately, just a few glasses of wine on the weekends, and I don't smoke. I'm fit and healthy otherwise. Can you help me understand what this might be?

It sounds like you may have a tonsil stone, also known as a tonsillolith. Tonsil stones are small, white or yellowish lumps that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They are usually harmless and can sometimes occur after an episode of tonsillitis or when debris gets trapped in the tonsil crypts. To help reduce the size of the tonsil stone and prevent them from forming, you can try gargling with warm salt water regularly. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are large or causing discomfort, they may need to be removed by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can try using a water flosser to gently dislodge the tonsil stone. If you continue to have concerns or if the lump behind your tonsil changes in size or causes any symptoms, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm feeling really anxious about this odd thing in the back of my throat. I managed to get a picture of it but I'm not quite sure if I can share it here or not. It looks like a small off-white square way back there behind my tongue. The wider I open my mouth, the more visible it gets, and it seems to bob up and down. Should I be worried? Any idea what this could be?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may have a case of tonsilloliths, also known as tonsil stones. These are small, off-white deposits that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They can sometimes cause discomfort or a sensation of something being stuck in your throat. To help alleviate the symptoms and prevent further tonsil stone formation, you can try gargling with warm salt water or using a water flosser to gently dislodge the stones. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are persistent or causing significant issues, a doctor may recommend removal of the tonsils. In the meantime, you can also try using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide to help reduce bacteria in the mouth and prevent the formation of new tonsil stones.

I've had swelling in my tonsils for two months now, and I've already taken medicine for a week after seeing a doctor. The swelling has gone down a little, but there's still more on one side. I noticed some white pus-like stuff there, too. There's no pain or fever, so I'm not sure what to think. Can you help me figure out what's going on? Should I be worried?

Based on your description and the photo you provided, it appears that you may be experiencing chronic tonsillitis with unilateral swelling and white pus. Since you have already taken medication for 7 days with some improvement, I would recommend continuing with a course of antibiotics to fully treat the infection. You can try taking a 10-day course of Amoxicillin (brand name: Amoxil) 500mg three times a day. This antibiotic is effective against bacterial infections commonly seen in tonsillitis. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges to soothe any discomfort and gargle with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation. If the swelling and pus persist or worsen despite the antibiotic treatment, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. Thank you for providing the information and photo for better understanding of your condition.

I'm experiencing a burning feeling in my left nostril, and alongside it, there's a mild ache on the upper lid of my eye. There's also this pain around my left eyebrow that's been nagging me. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of sinusitis, which is inflammation of the sinuses. The burning sensation in your left nostril, mild ache on the upper lid of your eye, and pain in your left eyebrow are all common symptoms of sinusitis. I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) 30mg every 4-6 hours as needed for nasal congestion. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a saline nasal spray to help with congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with this strange issue where one nostril is always blocked, but it switches sides every now and then. Thing is, I don't have a cold or the flu or anything like that. It's been going on for about six months now. A few doctors have mentioned it could be an allergy, while others think it's sinusitis. I'm just really confused and would like to know what might be really causing this. Any insights?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis. This condition can cause alternating nostril blockage without the presence of a cold or flu. I recommend using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to help reduce inflammation and improve airflow. You can use 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray can help keep your nasal passages moist and clear. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier in your room to help with congestion. If symptoms persist, it's best to follow up with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused about my thyroid medication. I've had thyroid issues for the past 3.5 years, which started during pregnancy. I'm on 25 mcg of medication. I recently got my thyroid levels checked, and my results are T3 108, T4 7.96, and TSH 1.31. Should I keep taking the 25 mcg or think about stopping it? I'm just not sure what to do next.

Based on these results, it seems like your thyroid levels are well controlled. I would recommend continuing with the same dosage of 25 mcg of Levothyroxine to maintain your thyroid levels within the normal range. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring and adjustments if needed.

I'm having this issue where after I eat, it feels like food gets stuck in my throat or the back of my tongue. Sometimes, it even feels like it's stuck near my palate, and it gets really uncomfortable after every meal. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's starting to worry me. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on here or what I should do about it?

This sensation could be due to a condition called dysphagia, which can be caused by various factors such as esophageal strictures, muscle disorders, or nerve damage. I recommend you try taking smaller bites, chewing your food thoroughly, and eating slowly to see if it helps. Additionally, you can try using a prescription medication like Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this mild pain on the right side of my throat. It's sort of around the mid to lower area, but I don't have a fever or a sore throat. It's been bothering me a bit, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any idea what might be causing this?

Right side throat pain with no fever or sore throat could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or even a mild infection. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, you can try gargling with warm salt water to soothe the throat. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

How hard did you think I got hit to cause this much damage? I mean, my nose broke in two places and my sinus cavity, eye socket, and cleft palate got slightly damaged too. I was sent to a plastic surgeon for some medical plastics or something, and when I breathe in or drink, my cheek feels cold. I'm just trying to understand the impact it must've taken to do all this.

It sounds like you sustained significant trauma to your face. The extent of the damage suggests a forceful impact. In this case, the plastic surgeon may prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. For pain relief, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg can be taken every 8 hours to prevent infection. It is important to follow up with your plastic surgeon for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been having this on-and-off pain in my right side submandibular gland for some time now, the weird thing is the swelling just won't go away. It's been like this for 2 years! And lately, for about a month, there's this persistent pain at the base of my neck where the skull ends and also inside my head, all on the right side. I'm struggling to find a doctor who can help; two of them suggested removing the gland, but it still produces saliva. I'm really hoping there's another solution that doesn't involve surgery. Is there anything else I could try?

It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic inflammation and pain in your submandibular gland on the right side, along with swelling that has been present for 2 years. The recent development of pain in the back of your neck, at the base of your skull, and inside your head on the right side is concerning. Given the persistent swelling and pain, it is important to address this issue promptly. I recommend seeking a consultation with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management. They may consider a thorough examination, imaging studies, and possibly a biopsy to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, warm compresses applied to the affected area may provide some relief. As for medication, you can try a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin-Clavulanate to address any possible infection in the gland. However, please note that this is a general recommendation and should be confirmed by a healthcare professional after a proper evaluation. I hope you find the relief you are seeking and that your symptoms improve soon.

I'm really worried about my recent medical reports that mention something called pleomorphic adenoma. I'm unsure which kind of doctor I should see about this. Do you think surgery is necessary, and which specialist is best for handling this situation?

For plemorphic adenoma, you should consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or an Otolaryngologist. Surgery is often recommended for plemorphic adenoma to remove the tumor and prevent any complications. The specialist will assess your specific case and recommend the appropriate treatment plan, which may include surgery to remove the tumor.

I'm really frustrated because my tonsils have a bunch of holes from these annoying tonsil stones. It's so irritating. If I get my tonsils taken out, will it solve this issue?

If you are experiencing recurrent issues with tonsil stones and they are significantly impacting your quality of life, a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils) may be considered. This procedure can help alleviate the problem of tonsil stones by removing the source of their formation. Discuss with an ENT specialist about the possibility of a tonsillectomy and if it is the right option for you.

I'm experiencing brown phlegm for the last four days, especially in the morning right after I wake up. It's really concerning, as I need to spit it out and it hurts when I drink water or swallow saliva. Initially, I wasn't able to get it out properly, so I tried gargling with hot salt water, which seemed to help. By the way, I smoke. Do you think this could be related? Should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may have bronchitis, which can be aggravated by smoking. I recommend you to take an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) 600mg every 12 hours to help loosen the phlegm. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter cough syrup like Robitussin (dextromethorphan) 10ml every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. It is important to stay hydrated, so drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

So, I caught this bad cold and sore throat a few days ago after traveling, probably because of the weather change. I seem to always get hit with a cold when the weather shifts. I started taking Joshanda Hamdards a couple of times a day since it's helped me in the past. But my cough wasn't getting better, so I switched to Ambrolite D and cetzip cetrizine. While the cough improved, the throat pain didn't, so I swapped Cetzip for Montek LC, which I've used before and heard is better. Now Im 3 days into these meds, with 2 days on Cetzip and 1 on Montek LC, Ambrolite D for a day, and Joshanda for about 2 days. My coughs better, but my throat pain's still there and might even be a bit worse; at least there's no fever. I'm wondering if I should take something else for the throat pain or if I should just keep going with what Im taking and for how long?

It seems like you are managing your symptoms well. To further address the throat pain, you can consider adding an analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication like Tab. Diclofenac 50mg twice daily after meals for 3-5 days. Additionally, you can continue with the following medications for a few more days: - Montek LC (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) once daily in the evening for a total of 5-7 days - Ambrolite D (Ambroxol + Dextromethorphan) syrup 10ml three times a day for a total of 5 days Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and avoid irritants like smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with really bad breath for a while now and just don't know what to do. My dentist checked and said there's nothing wrong with my mouth, but the bad breath is still there even after I brush. I brush three times a day, use mouthwash, and everything, but the smell just doesn't go away. It's super embarrassing when people keep their distance or cover their noses. Even when I'm a few meters away, they cover their mouths. It makes me feel so left out and embarrassed. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic bad breath, also known as halitosis. In cases where oral hygiene practices are not resolving the issue, it's important to consider other factors that could be causing the bad breath. One common cause of persistent bad breath is gastrointestinal issues such as acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend trying over-the-counter medication like Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks to see if it helps improve your symptoms. Additionally, you can try using a tongue scraper to clean your tongue, as bacteria on the tongue can contribute to bad breath. If the bad breath persists despite these measures, it would be advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

What should I do about the tissue stuck in my nostril from a nosebleed? Its not causing any breathing issues, and it doesnt hurt, but it's still stuck up there. Is it safe to leave it until morning?

It sounds like you have a foreign object (tissue paper) stuck in your nose. It is important to remove it to avoid any potential complications. You can try to gently blow your nose to see if that helps dislodge the tissue. If that doesn't work, you should seek medical help to have it safely removed. Leaving it in overnight is not recommended as it can lead to irritation or infection. You can use over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray to help reduce swelling and make it easier to remove the tissue.

I'm really worried about my brother. He's been experiencing some alarming symptomshe feels like somethings grabbing his neck and has difficulty swallowing. This all started after he had some cake and cookies a couple of days ago. Initially, he had an allergy reaction on his lips and tongue followed by this chokelike sensation. Should we be concerned, and what kind of specialist would he need to see to get this checked out?

Your brother may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction, possibly leading to throat swelling or constriction known as angioedema. This can be a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention. He should seek help from an Emergency Room or Urgent Care center without delay. In the meantime, he can take an antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25-50mg every 4-6 hours to help with the allergic symptoms. However, this is not a substitute for professional medical evaluation and treatment. Please ensure he does not eat any more of the suspected allergen and avoids any triggers that may worsen his symptoms.

I'm feeling pretty worried; I've been dealing with a cough and cold for the past two weeks. I've already taken 10 tablets of Sumo Cold and 6 tablets of Roxid 150 mg, but today the coughing has gotten worse. What should I do next?

It seems like your current medication is not effectively managing your symptoms. I recommend adding an expectorant like Mucolite syrup (10ml twice daily) to help with the increased coughing. Additionally, you can take a cough suppressant like Ascoril syrup (5ml thrice daily) to alleviate the coughing spells. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm in a bit of a situation here. While I was taking a bath, the soap slipped and a few small pieces ended up getting stuck in my left ear. Now its feeling pretty blocked, and I'm kind of worried. It's the middle of the night, so seeing a doctor right now isnt an option. Do you have any advice on what I could do at home to help clear it out?

It is important not to try to remove the soap yourself as it may push it further into the ear canal. You can try tilting your head to the side to see if gravity helps the soap pieces come out. You can also try using a bulb syringe filled with warm water to gently flush out the soap. If these methods do not work, you can use over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to soften the soap and help it come out more easily. Use 2-3 drops in the affected ear and wait for a few minutes before tilting your head to allow the drops to drain out. If the blockage persists or if you experience pain, hearing loss, or drainage from the ear, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible.

It sounds like you may be experiencing sinusitis. I recommend taking a combination of ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine to help with the pain and congestion. You can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain, and Pseudoephedrine 60mg every 4-6 hours as needed for congestion. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help with the blood in your snot and the urge to sneeze. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I've been experiencing this constant ringing in both of my ears and it's really affecting my ability to concentrate. I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to worry me. Could you suggest any medicines or treatments that might help?

It sounds like you may be experiencing tinnitus, which is the sensation of hearing ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ears. To help with this, you can try taking Ginkgo biloba extract. I recommend taking 120-240 mg per day to help improve blood flow to the ears and reduce the ringing sensation. Additionally, you can try using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help with any earwax buildup that may be contributing to the ringing. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper use. If the symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

I'm feeling really uncomfortable with this persistent issue. For about ten days now, I've been experiencing pain, itching, and a pinching sensation in my throat. It also feels like there's some kind of blockage. On top of that, my nose feels blocked, and I've had ongoing pain with a swollen sensation in my right ear. Could this be due to strep throat, and should I be worried? What steps should I take to get relief?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection. For Strep Throat, you can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 10 days. For the blockage sensation in your nose, you can use Flonase nasal spray 2 sprays in each nostril once daily.

I'm an 18-year-old guy and my voice hasn't deepened yet. I talked to some doctors and they said I have puberphonia. What can I do to get a deeper, more manly voice soon? Any advice would be super helpful.

Puberphonia, also known as mutational falsetto, is a condition where a person continues to speak in a high-pitched voice beyond puberty. To help deepen your voice, you can try voice therapy exercises. Additionally, testosterone therapy may also be considered in some cases. One medication that may be prescribed to help with voice deepening is testosterone. Testosterone can be prescribed in the form of Androderm patches, with a typical starting dose of 2.5 mgday. However, the dosage may vary based on individual needs and should be determined by your healthcare provider. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of your puberphonia.

I recently started taking cepodem xp 325, along with Sinarest and a nasal spray. I'm curious about something I've read that the nasal spray works for about 12 hours, but when would be a good time to do steam inhalation after using the spray? I've been having a slight nose block that keeps switching from one nostril to the other. Also, I've noticed some leg pain but no cough or fever. Just trying to figure out the best way to manage this. Any advice?

It is generally recommended to wait at least 1-2 hours after using a nasal spray before doing steam inhalation. This allows the nasal spray to take effect and reduces the risk of washing it out too soon. You can do steam inhalation around 5-6 hours after using the nasal spray Flutiflo to help with your slight nose blockage. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the nasal spray and steam inhalation for best results. For your symptoms of slight nose blockage on and off, with no cough, fever, or sore throat, along with slight leg pain, continue using Cepodem XP 325 for the infection and Sinarest for symptom relief. Additionally, you can use Flutiflo nasal spray as prescribed for your nasal symptoms. Make sure to take Cepodem XP 325 as directed by your healthcare provider and follow the recommended dosage for Sinarest and Flutiflo as well. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My vertigo issue hasn't gotten any better, and I'm not seeing any improvement. You mentioned I should avoid exercises, so I've been steering clear of them. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with it? I'm feeling a bit stuck and would love some guidance on next steps.

Vertigo can be a challenging condition to manage. Since you are not seeing any improvement and avoiding exercises as advised, I recommend trying medication to help alleviate your symptoms. You can try taking Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dosage of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

Is this a silly question? I'm just curious because I know we have two main pipes in our throat, you know, the windpipe and the food pipe. So is the windpipe on the right side or the left side? And what about the food pipe, is it on the left or right? Sorry if this sounds dumb, just really curious!

The windpipe, also known as the trachea, is located in the midline of the neck and chest, so it is not on the right or left side specifically. The food pipe, or esophagus, is also located in the midline of the body, behind the windpipe. So neither the windpipe nor the food pipe is specifically on the right or left side of the body.

Yes, tuberculous lymphadenitis is a contagious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It can spread from one person to another through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is important to seek medical treatment to prevent the spread of the disease. Treatment usually involves a combination of antibiotics such as Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol for several months.

I'm experiencing this weird heaviness on the left front side of my face, and sometimes I get pain in my left eye too. It feels worse in the morning.

You may be experiencing symptoms of a tension headache or migraine. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for relief of head heaviness and pain in the left eye. You can take it every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 3,000-4,000mg in a day. Additionally, you can try using ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg for further pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated, get enough rest, and manage stress to help prevent these symptoms from occurring.

Hey, I'm a med student and lately, I've been hearing this sound in my ear. I think it might be pulsatile tinnitus. It all started like 34 hours ago after I finished my bath. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by various factors such as increased blood flow in the blood vessels near the ear. In your case, since it started after taking a bath, it could be related to changes in blood flow or pressure. I recommend you to try using a white noise machine to help mask the sound. Additionally, you can take Ginkgo Biloba supplement, 120 mg twice daily, to potentially improve blood circulation and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Is regular steam inhalation with turmeric a good way to manage allergies, or should I be looking at other methods? I'd appreciate any advice on how to avoid allergies without relying on medications.

Regular steam inhalation with turmeric can be beneficial for allergies as turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. The steam helps to open up the airways and relieve congestion, while turmeric can help to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. However, it is important to note that while steam inhalation with turmeric can provide some relief, it may not be a comprehensive solution for severe allergies. In addition to steam inhalation with turmeric, there are other natural ways to help manage allergies without medication. Some tips include keeping windows closed to prevent pollen from entering the house, using air purifiers to filter out allergens, regularly cleaning and dusting the house to reduce dust mites, avoiding outdoor activities during high pollen count days, and washing bedding frequently in hot water to remove allergens. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise can help support overall immune health and reduce allergy symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as severe allergies may require medication or other interventions.

I recommend using a saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages. You can also try using a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air. If the dryness persists, you can use a nasal gel like Rhinase to help lubricate your nasal passages.

Ive been feeling this sharp sensation on the right side of my neck whenever I drink water. It started with cold water, but now it happens with regular water too. It's been a couple of days since this started. Any idea what could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing throat pain or sensitivity. This could be due to various reasons such as throat infection, muscle strain, or even acid reflux. I recommend taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) as needed for the discomfort. Additionally, you can try using a throat lozenge or gargling with warm salt water to soothe the irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm concerned about my three-year-old son. I gave him this medicine called Macpod 50, and I'm noticing that his lips are getting bigger. Can you help me understand why this might be happening?

As you have mentioned that your three-year-old child's lip portion is getting big after taking Macpod 50, this could be a sign of an allergic reaction to the medication. Macpod 50 is a brand name for Cefpodoxime, which is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections. In some cases, allergic reactions to antibiotics can manifest as swelling of the lips or other parts of the body. I recommend stopping the medication immediately and contacting your child's healthcare provider. They may prescribe an antihistamine to help reduce the swelling and provide further guidance on how to manage the allergic reaction.

I'm dealing with nasal polyps in both of my nasal cavities and it's been really frustrating. I'm not sure what the best treatment options are. Can you guide me on what I should consider or expect when dealing with nasal polyps? And is there anything specific that has worked well for others or is usually recommended? It's been affecting my day-to-day life and I'd really appreciate some advice.

The treatment for nasal polyps typically involves the use of intranasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and shrink the polyps. I recommend using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. In addition, you can also use Nasacort (triamcinolone) nasal spray, 1-2 sprays in each nostril once daily. These medications can help improve symptoms and reduce the size of the nasal polyps.

I woke up today and when I cleared my throat and spit, I noticed a small amount of blood mixed with it. There were also some tiny bubbles, kind of dark red or brownish, still stuck in my throat. I'm really worried because I'm only 18 and haven't had any major health issues before. I do get GERD pretty often and have been feeling some throat discomfort recently, probably because I've been eating a lot of ice cream. Im not dealing with any coughing, though. When I saw those blood streaks in my spit, I got really scared. Could this be something serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some irritation or inflammation in your throat, possibly aggravated by your history of GERD and recent consumption of ice cream. The presence of blood in your saliva can be alarming, but it may not always indicate a serious issue. However, it is important to address this symptom promptly. I recommend you take over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to help with your GERD symptoms. Additionally, you can use a throat soothing syrup like Benadryl Cough Syrup to alleviate the discomfort in your throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid consuming foods that may further irritate your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I got a cotton wool bud stuck in my ear. The doctor couldnt get it out since its so close to my eardrum, and now Im just waiting for the hospital to contact me for an appointment. But now I've come down with a sore throat and a headache. Could these symptoms be because my ear is blocked?

Having a sore throat and headache is unlikely to directly cause your ear to be blocked by the cotton wool bud. However, it is possible that the blocked ear, along with the discomfort and stress associated with it, could be contributing to your sore throat and headache. It is important to address the blocked ear as soon as possible to prevent any further complications. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication such as paracetamol for your headache and sore throat.

I've been experiencing this issue where my hearing keeps coming and going over the last couple of weeks. It's really odd because sometimes, especially when I'm eating, I feel like I can't hear anything at all, almost as if I'm completely deaf. Other times, things sound just fine. The problem seems to happen in intervals, and I'm honestly starting to get concerned about what's causing it. What could be going on with my ears?

You may be experiencing fluctuating hearing loss, which can have various causes. In your case, it could be related to a condition called Meniere's disease. To help manage the symptoms of Meniere's disease, you can take Betahistine (brand name Serc). Additionally, you may benefit from using a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) to reduce fluid retention in the inner ear. It is important to consult with an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I've noticed that whenever I sneeze, blood mixed with saliva comes out of my mouth. Plus, I often wake up at night with throat pain. It's really concerning me, and I'm curious to know what might be causing this. Any ideas on what's going on or what I should do about it?

This may be caused by various factors such as dry air, allergies, or infections. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air, gargling with warm salt water to soothe your throat, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge or spray to help with the throat pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been having this issue where my left ear feels blocked every morning, and I can only hear faintly until it gradually clears up throughout the day. It's been happening for about 20-25 days now. Do you have any suggestions for wax removal drops that could help?

You can try using Debrox earwax removal drops. Use 5-10 drops in the affected ear, and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to allow the drops to work. You can do this twice a day for up to 4 days to help soften and remove the earwax. If the symptoms persist, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

I'm feeling some tightness in my throat that started about 23 weeks ago. There's no pain, and I can swallow and eat without any issues, but it constantly feels like something's stuck in there. Could this be from muscle tightness or maybe something gastric? It's been more than two weeks now, and I'm wondering what I should do next. Which type of doctor should I consult for this? Also, I live around Haralur Road and Sarjapur Road in Bangaloreany nearby doctor recommendations would be really helpful.

It is possible that the sensation of tightness in your throat could be due to muscle tightness or a gastric issue such as acid reflux. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use Gaviscon syrup 10-15ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for relief. If the symptoms persist after trying these medications, you may consult an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat) for further evaluation

My mom has been experiencing a really dry throat and dry coughing whenever she lies down to sleep after meals, you know, like after lunch or dinner. It's been happening about half an hour after she lies down. She doesn't have any chest burning or gas, so I'm not sure what could be causing this. If she drinks some water, it seems to help temporarily, but then the dryness and coughing come back after a while. Could you help us figure out why this might be happening and what we can do about it?

Your mother may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The lying down position after meals can cause stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus, leading to dry throat and coughing. To help alleviate these symptoms, I recommend she try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids after meals. Additionally, she can try elevating the head of her bed while sleeping to prevent acid reflux at night. If symptoms persist, she should consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a cold today, and I was planning to have a drink tomorrow. Do you think it's okay for me to have some whiskey? I'm really curious if it might affect my cold or overall health. I read some places say a little alcohol is fine when you have a cold, but others say it's not. I'm not sure what's best.

Alcohol consumption can have negative effects on your immune system and can potentially worsen your cold symptoms. It is generally not recommended to consume alcohol when you have a cold as it can dehydrate you and make it harder for your body to fight off the infection. It's best to avoid alcohol until you have fully recovered from your cold. Instead, focus on staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest to help your body heal faster.

I'm pretty worried because out of the blue, my husband has this tiny lump on the side of his neck, near the left. I've snapped a pic to show it because I'm not sure what it could be. Should we be concerned about this? Do you think it's best to see a general physician or maybe an ENT specialist for this kind of thing?

Swollen lymph nodes are usually a sign that the body is fighting an infection. However, without further evaluation, it is difficult to determine the exact cause. I recommend consulting with a general physician first for an initial evaluation. The general physician may refer you to an ENT specialist if further investigation is needed. In the meantime, you can give him over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for any discomfort.

For her symptoms, I recommend adding an over-the-counter medication like Strepsils for sore throat relief. Additionally, she can take Sinarest for cold symptoms. Make sure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest. If her symptoms persist or worsen, she should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I've noticed that my uvula seems quite large and kind of pointy at the end. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this be causing some nasal blockage? I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this.

If uvula size is very large and pointy and causing symptoms like feeling something stuck in your throat and nose blockage, it may require surgical intervention. One common surgery for this condition is uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). However, the decision for surgery should be made after a thorough evaluation by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They may also recommend medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and swelling. It is important to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Im really worried because I seem to have lost my sense of smell completely. It's like I can't detect any scents at all and it feels like 100% of my smelling power is just gone. Could you please guide me on what treatment options are available for this?

Loss of smell, also known as anosmia, can have various causes such as sinus infections, nasal polyps, allergies, or even neurological conditions. One common treatment option for restoring smell is using nasal steroid sprays. You can try using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray can help with nasal congestion and improve smell sensation. It is important to consult with a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm trying to figure out if it's safe to include curd or milk in the diet for someone with high triglycerides and high LDL cholesterol. Is there any benefit or should they be avoided?

Azithromycin (Azipro 500) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections, including throat infections. The usual dosage for adults with a sore throat is 500 mg once daily for 3 days. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed by the pharmacist. In addition to Azithromycin, you can also try over-the-counter remedies such as throat lozenges, warm salt water gargles, and staying hydrated to help alleviate your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

My sister has been dealing with ear ringing for the past year. Is there a chance that it can be cured?

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've been dealing with this weird crawling sensation in my right ear for months now. I've already seen two ENT specialists and my GP, but no one found anything. They told me not to use ear buds, although I rarely do. One of the specialists mentioned that the lack of wax might be causing it and gave me ear drops, but they're not helping. The sensation comes and goes, but it's really starting to drive me crazy. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could try?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called "tinnitus," which can cause sensations like crawling, buzzing, or ringing in the ears. In your case, since there is no visible issue inside the ear and minimal wax, the crawling sensation could be due to nerve signals misfiring in the ear. I recommend trying a medication like Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. Betahistine can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. However, please consult your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is suitable for you.

I've been experiencing this weird fluttering sound in my ear for the past two days, but it only happens when I use my earphones or talk on the phone. The strange part is that it's in the opposite ear from the one I'm using. What could this be? Should I be concerned?

This fluttering sound in your ear could be due to a condition called Tinnitus. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to clean your ears in case there is any blockage causing the sound. Additionally, you can take Tab. Betahistine to help with the symptoms. If the issue persists, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with a wet cough that's been bothering me for a week now. I tried taking Benadryl for a couple of days and then switched to Cipla's COFRYL, but nothing seems to be working. What can I do to get some relief?

Since you have already tried Benadryl and Cipla's COF-RYL without relief, I recommend trying Robitussin DM for your wet cough. Take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

I'm just wondering about how long you can use ear drops after opening them. If the bottle says they expire in November 2022, does that mean they're good to use until then, even if I've opened it?

After opening a bottle of ear drops, it is generally safe to use them for about 4 weeks. However, it is important to check the specific instructions on the bottle for any recommended duration of use after opening. If the bottle indicates an expiration date of November 2022, you can use the ear drops until that date as long as you follow proper storage instructions and there are no signs of contamination or changes in the appearance or smell of the drops. Make sure to recap the bottle tightly after each use and store it in a cool, dry place.

I'm currently taking Augmentin 625 and Doxolin 400, but my throat infection is still not getting better. I started Montemac FX today and also began Atorvastatin for my high cholesterol. My chest is clear, though I've got this annoying cough. I'm using Betadine gargle, but I'm really looking for something to get fast relief for my throat. Any suggestions on what I can do?

I see that you are already taking Augmentin 625 for the infection, Doxolin 400 for the cough, Montemac FX for the throat infection, and Atorvastatin for high cholesterol. Since you are still experiencing throat infection and cough, I recommend adding an over-the-counter antitussive such as Benadryl Cough Syrup to help with the cough. Additionally, you can try steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil to help soothe your throat. Make sure to continue with the Betadine gargle as prescribed. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling kind of strange since yesterday. My mouth has this metallic taste, and my throat is sore and really hurts. What do you think it could be?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a viral infection or possibly a bacterial infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the sore throat and pain. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges or gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

My friend mentioned that he feels a burning sensation when he pees, especially towards the end. I recently gave him oral sex even though I had a cold and an itchy throat, and I also had a cough drop in my mouth at the time. Could that be causing his problem? What might be going on, and is there something he can take to feel better?

It sounds like your friend may have a urinary tract infection (UTI) which can cause a burning sensation during urination. He can take an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the burning sensation. However, it is important for him to also see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as UTIs can sometimes require antibiotics for complete resolution.

I'm really worried because my husband has had a swollen tonsil on one side for almost a year now. He's been experiencing pain on that side in both his throat and ear. We've checked Google, and it mentioned that asymmetrical tonsils could mean tonsil cancer, which is terrifying. We've seen lots of ENT specialists and had tests like Neck USG, CTPNS, and Laryngoscopy done, all of which came back normal. But none of these doctors have mentioned anything about the asymmetrical tonsil. Could this still possibly be tonsil cancer, or is there something else that might be causing these symptoms?

Asymmetrical tonsils can be due to various reasons other than cancer, such as chronic tonsillitis or tonsil stones. In your husband's case, since the tests have been normal and there are no other concerning symptoms, it's less likely to be related to cancer. To help reduce the swelling and pain in the tonsil, your husband can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Gargling with warm salt water can also help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, throat lozenges and staying hydrated can provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, your husband can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine or visiting a doctor for further evaluation.

I accidentally swallowed a small sharp chicken bone and now it feels like it's stuck in my throat. Is this something normal, or should I be worried about any potential danger? How can I deal with this problem?

Accidentally swallowing a sharp chicken bone can be concerning as it may cause injury or irritation in the throat. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, pain when swallowing, drooling, or chest pain. In the meantime, you can try eating soft foods and drinking plenty of water to help the bone pass through the digestive tract. If you experience severe pain or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical help.

I've been dealing with this dry cough for over two weeks whenever I'm drinking water or eating, and it lasts for at least a minute or breaks up as I eat. I used to have intercostal muscle pain for a couple of months, but that's a lot better now. Recently, I've noticed a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck, though it doesn't hurt. My throat's also started getting itchy and swollen now. I don't have a fever or problems with swallowing or breathing, but I can't help but wonder if these issues are connected somehow. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of postnasal drip, which can lead to a dry cough, throat irritation, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. The intercostal muscle pain you were experiencing could also be contributing to the discomfort. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the throat irritation and postnasal drip. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your throat as needed. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke or strong odors. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that I keep sneezing every morning right after I wake up, and also when I'm cooking. This has been happening for almost two years now. I took cetirizine and tried some ayurvedic medicine, which helped while I was taking them, but the sneezing came back once I stopped. I'm really curious about what could be causing this persistent issue. Do you have any suggestions for getting it under control or maybe even permanently resolving it?

I recommend taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily in the morning to help control your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal spray like Flonase (Fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily can also help reduce nasal inflammation and sneezing. Make sure to continue these medications regularly for best results.

I've been having frequent nosebleeds for the past three days, and yesterday it happened three times. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should do or avoid?

Frequent nosebleeds can be concerning. It is important to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray like Afrin. Apply 2-3 sprays in the affected nostril every 12 hours. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray to keep the nasal passages moist. Apply 2-3 sprays in each nostril 2-3 times a day. If the nosebleeds persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about something and would appreciate your advice. I quit smoking two years ago, which felt great, but now I'm dealing with something else. Most of the time, my nose feels really congested. Occasionally, when I sniff and spit, I notice some blood in the mucus, even though I don't have a cough. Sometimes, when I'm trying to clear my nose manually, I also notice blood in the mucus. Is this normal, or could it be something serious that I should get checked out?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some nasal bleeding. The medical term for this is epistaxis. Nasal bleeding can be caused by various factors such as dry air, allergies, sinus infections, or nasal trauma. Since you have mentioned blood in your mucus without coughing, it is likely coming from your nasal passages. To help with the nasal bleeding and congestion, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages moist. You can also apply a small amount of petroleum jelly inside your nostrils to prevent dryness. Avoid picking or blowing your nose too hard, as this can further irritate the nasal passages and lead to more bleeding. If the bleeding persists or if you have recurrent episodes of nasal bleeding, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a nasal decongestant like Oxymetazoline spray (e.g., Afrin) for temporary relief of nasal congestion. Follow the instructions on the package for proper dosage and duration of use. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke or strong odors that can worsen nasal symptoms. If the bleeding becomes severe or if you experience other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

I've been having a mildly sore throat pretty frequently these days, and I've found that gargling with betadine really helps. But I'm a bit concerned and curious - is it safe to use betadine for gargling every night, or could there be any long-term issues with using it often? Would love to get your thoughts on this.

Using Betadine for gargling every night can be safe for short periods of time. However, prolonged and frequent use may lead to irritation of the throat and oral mucosa. It is recommended to use it for a maximum of 7-14 days. If your symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a blocked ear and tried using soliwax for four days. Instead of getting better, it feels like it's more blocked. How can I get the wax out? Any advice would be really appreciated.

It seems like the earwax is impacted and not coming out with the use of Soliwax. You can try using Debrox ear drops to soften the wax. Put 5 to 10 drops in the affected ear and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to let the drops penetrate. You can then rinse your ear gently with warm water using a bulb syringe to help remove the softened wax. If the blockage persists, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with polypoidal thickening in my maxillary sinuses for about 4 months now. There's this constant tightness behind my left eye, cheek, and ears, along with some stiffness in the left side of my neck and headaches on the left side of my head. I'm really concerned about whether this could be something serious or life-threatening. Any insights?

Based on your symptoms and MRI findings, it seems like you are experiencing symptoms related to sinusitis. To help reduce the inflammation and relieve your symptoms, you can try using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache relief. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your sinus condition.

I've been having this weird issue where sometimes I can't swallow my food without drinking water. I used to eat just fine without it, but now it feels like the food gets stuck halfway. As soon as I drink some water, though, I can swallow it down. It's not happening all the time, just sometimes, but it's got me worried. Any idea why this might be happening?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some difficulty with swallowing, also known as dysphagia. This could be due to various reasons such as inflammation, muscle weakness, or narrowing of the esophagus. I recommend you try using a medication like **Omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce any potential inflammation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can try **Metoclopramide** 10mg three times a day before meals to help with the movement of food through the esophagus. Make sure to drink plenty of water with these medications and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a sore throat that just won't go away. It's been hard to swallow and it feels like it's below the tonsils, around the throat wall under the palatopharyngeal arch. I can't usually see anything unless I look really closely. It's been a month now, and I'm getting pretty scared. What could this be?

Based on your description of a sore throat with mild swallowing difficulty located below the tonsils and below the palatopharyngeal arch, it may be due to a throat infection. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin (brand name: Amoxil) 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help relieve the soreness. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm curious about some issues I've been having. I've been dealing with sinus infections and nasal polyps for about 5 years now. I went through surgery back in June 2016, but just a few months later, the same problems started again. Lately, I've been noticing my nose gets completely blocked, sometimes just one side, but there are days when both are blocked. It feels like something is stuck in there, and its really hard to breathe, especially at night. I've been using XyloFlo nasal steroids for the past two years whenever things get bad, and I also use a neti pot with saline tabs. I have a CT scan that's less than a year old if you think it might help. I'd really appreciate any advice you can offer because it's getting pretty frustrating and it's hard to focus on studying for my exams. Any thoughts on what I can do to feel better?

Since you have been using Xyloflo nasal steroids for temporary relief, I recommend adding a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) or Nasonex (mometasone) to your treatment regimen. These can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and improve breathing. Additionally, considering your history of chronic sinus issues, it may be beneficial to use a saline nasal irrigation system regularly, such as NeilMed Sinus Rinse, to help keep your nasal passages clear and reduce the risk of infections. I would also suggest consulting with your ENT doctor to review your recent CT scan and discuss the possibility of further treatment options, such as a different type of nasal steroid or the use of oral corticosteroids in a tapering dose to help manage the inflammation more effectively.

I've had my ears blocked for the past 4 days, and I think it might be due to a cold I had. Not completely sure, though. It sometimes feels like there's water or some fluid in there, and occasionally, when I sneeze, the blockage goes away for a few seconds, but then it comes back. There's a little pain too, which is why I've been taking oxalgin tablets and using drep ear drops. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different?

It sounds like you may be experiencing Eustachian tube dysfunction due to your recent cold. To help relieve the blockage and pain in your ears, I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help reduce the swelling in the Eustachian tubes. You can also try using a nasal spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to further reduce congestion. Additionally, continue using the Otrivin ear drops for relief. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a sore throat for the last month and a half, and I've noticed these red bumps at the back of my throat. It feels like something's stuck there every time I swallow. Plus, there's some weird growth of flesh on both sides of my tonsils. What's going on here?

It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic tonsillitis with the symptoms you described. I recommend you start with a course of antibiotics to help clear the infection. You can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges like Strepsils to help soothe your throat. It's important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body fight off the infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I've been on a course of Derinide AQ and Defza, and during the treatment, I got my sense of smell back. But now it's gone again, and sometimes there's this weird odor in my nose. It's been about 20 days using this nasal spray. Is there a permanent solution for this? Will I ever get my sense of smell back? What do you suggest?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called anosmia, which is the partial or complete loss of the sense of smell. In some cases, medications like nasal sprays can affect the sense of smell. To help regain your sense of smell, you can try using a saline nasal spray to help clear your nasal passages. Additionally, you can use a steroid nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. It's important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes of your loss of smell. In some cases, seeing an ENT specialist may be necessary for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried because I've been having an irritated throat with a lot of coughing. Even scarier, I'm noticing some blood coming up when I cough. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

The presence of blood in your cough could be due to irritation of the throat or respiratory tract. I recommend you take a cough syrup like Benadryl Cough Formula (dosage: 10ml three times a day) to help soothe your throat and reduce the coughing. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils (dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2-3 hours) to help with the irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling something hairy-like deep down in my throat, and it's been going on for almost three months now. It makes me feel like I need to throw up or spit something out, but nothing actually comes out. This usually happens when I'm around dust or during a flu. I'm not pregnant, so I'm trying to figure out what's causing this sensation. Could you help me understand what's happening with my throat?

The symptoms you are describing could be due to post-nasal drip, which is a common condition where mucus accumulates in the back of your throat and can cause the sensation of something stuck or tickling in your throat. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily to reduce mucus production. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean (sodium chloride) can help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If these symptoms persist, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my friend who's been dealing with cough syncope. Initially, he was told to take Sercef CV 500 with Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid for six days, but that didn't help. Then a pulmonologist switched him to Azee 500 Azithromycin and Allegra 120, and it's been three days on those meds without any change. His chest X-ray and blood work are all okay, which is kind of confusing. He's been coughing for about 20 days now, and it's scary because he fainted three times today and hurt himself. An ENT he saw in the beginning gave him steroids but that also didnt work. We're really concerned, and Im just wondering what other options there might be to help him out?

It sounds like your friend is experiencing a persistent cough despite trying different medications. Since the chest x-ray and haemogram reports are normal, it's important to consider other possible causes for the cough. In this case, I would recommend consulting with a pulmonologist or a respiratory specialist for further evaluation. Your friend may benefit from a different approach to treatment, such as trying a different class of antibiotics or considering other underlying conditions that could be contributing to the cough. Additionally, it's important to monitor for any concerning symptoms such as fainting episodes and seek medical attention promptly if they persist. In the meantime, your friend can continue taking the prescribed medications as directed and ensure proper rest and hydration.

My left ear has been feeling blocked for the last 45 days. It started as a feeling of it blocking and opening on and off, but today it's feeling more blocked than ever, and there's some mild pain now and then. I'm really getting worried. Any idea what's happening or what I should do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of earwax causing a blockage in your left ear. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops such as Debrox to help soften the earwax and facilitate its removal. You can also try using a bulb syringe to gently flush out the ear with warm water. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm dealing with a sticky throat issue, and it feels like the cough is just stuck there all the time. I had a cough a few days ago and it's still bothering me. Could there be something else going on, or should I be doing something specific to help with this?

You may be experiencing post-nasal drip causing the sensation of a sticky throat. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help reduce the mucus production. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with a stuffy nose, heavy head, and mild fever between 99.4 to 100.4 for the past couple of days. I think it started after being around smoking at a lounge party. Tonight, I took a crocin to help with the fever and a Montek LC for the stuffy nose and allergyIve used these before. Im also on hypertension meds, specifically Concord in the morning and Stamlo at night. Could you let me know if it's okay to mix Montek LC with these hypertension medications?

It is generally safe to take Montek LC (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) for stuffy nose and allergy symptoms along with your hypertension medications. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before adding any new medication to your existing regimen, especially if you have any concerns about potential interactions. In this case, since you have taken Montek LC in the past and are currently on Concord 2.5mg in the morning and Stamlo 5mg at night for hypertension, there are no known major interactions between Montek LC and your hypertension medications. Just ensure to follow the recommended dosages for each medication. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects after taking Montek LC alongside your hypertension medications, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I've had two Tympanoplasty surgeries, one in 2011 that didn't work out and then another in 2014 after having sinus surgery and surgery for a deviated nasal septum. The doctor said back then that I shouldnt swim for the rest of my life because of the ear infections. Its been a few years now and I'm wondering if its still risky to swim or if things might have changed with my ear health?

It is important to follow the advice of your doctor after Tympanoplasty, especially if there have been complications such as infections in the past. Swimming can introduce water into the ear canal, which may increase the risk of infection or damage to the eardrum. To protect your ear health, it is advisable to avoid swimming or to use ear protection such as earplugs while swimming.

I've got this infection on my tongue, and it feels like I've bitten both sides of it. It's been going on for almost a week now, and I'm in pain. What do you think I should do?

I recommend using an antifungal medication like clotrimazole oral troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for about two weeks. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate your tongue further.

I've been experiencing a problem lately. After wearing a mask for 12 hours, I've noticed my nose starts bleeding, but everything seems normal when I'm not wearing it. What could be causing this issue? Could the mask be affecting something with my nose?

Nosebleeds can be triggered by various factors, and wearing a mask for an extended period of time can lead to dryness and irritation of the nasal passages, making them more prone to bleeding. To help prevent nosebleeds while wearing a mask, you can use a saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly inside the nostrils before putting on the mask to help protect the delicate nasal skin.

I was prescribed Neutron OD as a vitamin supplement, but I'm a bit confused. Should I be taking Neutron OD or Neurobion Forte instead? What's the difference between the two? I'm not sure which one's better for me.

Neutron OD and Neurobion Forte are both vitamin supplements, but they contain different vitamins and minerals. Neutron OD contains Vitamin B12, while Neurobion Forte contains a combination of Vitamin B1, B6, and B12 along with other essential nutrients. If you have been prescribed Neutron OD specifically for Vitamin B12 deficiency, then you should continue taking it as per your doctor's recommendation. However, if you are looking for a more comprehensive vitamin supplement that includes a combination of B vitamins, then Neurobion Forte would be a suitable choice. Ultimately, the choice between Neutron OD and Neurobion Forte depends on your specific nutritional needs and any deficiencies you may have. It is recommended to follow your doctor's advice for the most appropriate supplement for your individual health requirements.

I'm dealing with a really bad cough that's made my tongue red. I've been taking Rapitus three times a day, and while it's cut down the number of times I cough, it hasn't stopped it completely. I can't make it to a doctor right now and it seems to get worse at night. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Since Rapitus has not completely stopped the cough, I recommend trying Benadryl Cough Syrup 10ml at night before bed to help suppress the cough and improve your sleep. Additionally, you can take Benadryl Cough Syrup 10ml twice a day to further alleviate the cough during the day. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants that may worsen your cough. If your symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm getting this weird sensation like something's stuck in my throat. It's odd because I haven't eaten anything that could actually get stuck. Could this be related to GERD or might it be something different? Any ideas on what's going on?

It is possible that you are experiencing symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) which can sometimes cause a feeling of something stuck in the throat. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids such as Tums (calcium carbonate) or Maalox (aluminum hydroxidemagnesium hydroxide) to help reduce stomach acid. Additionally, you can try using H2 blockers such as Zantac (ranitidine) or proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec (omeprazole) to further reduce acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious about something that's been happening lately. When I lie on my side in bed, I can hear my heartbeat in the ear that's against the pillow, but nowhere else in the room. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about it?

When you lie on one side of the bed, it is common to hear your heartbeat more prominently in the ear that is in contact with the pillow. This is known as pulsatile tinnitus. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try using earplugs or playing white noise in the background. If the issue persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with this annoying throat irritation followed by a dry cough that's been bothering me since last year. It seems to get better for a while, but then it just comes back. My local doctor mentioned it might be an allergy. I've been taking levocetirizine 5 mg and montelukast 10 mg, along with using a mometasone nasal spray for the past 5 days, but I'm not seeing any relief. It's quite frustrating. I also did some tests and my CRP came back negative, but my immunoglobulin serum IgE level is pretty high at 250. Could you guide me on what to do next? Is there something else I should be trying?

It seems like you are experiencing allergic symptoms in your throat and cough. Since you have already been taking Levocetirizine 5mg + Montelukast 10mg and Mometasone nasal spray with no relief, I would recommend adding a mucolytic and a cough suppressant to your treatment regimen. You can try taking Ambroxol 30mg twice daily for mucus clearance and Dextromethorphan 10mg for cough suppression as needed. Additionally, since your Immunoglobulin serum IgE level is high, you may benefit from adding a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone propionate for better control of your symptoms. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried about my health and could use some advice. I've been smoking hookah and cigarettes daily, and I'm starting to notice that I've got a constant sore throat and this white coating on my tongue. Could these habits be causing these issues? I just want to be sure if there's something I should be doing differently. What do you think?

Yes, smoking hookah or cigarettes every day can lead to chronic sore throats and a white coat on the tongue. The chemicals and toxins in tobacco smoke can irritate the throat, leading to inflammation and soreness. Additionally, smoking can also disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the mouth, resulting in a white coating on the tongue. To help alleviate these symptoms, it is important to quit smoking and maintain good oral hygiene.

I'm using cepodem xp 325, Sinarest, and a nasal spray. I was just wondering, how long after using the nasal spray can I do steam inhalation? I read somewhere that the nasal spray works for around 12 hours, so is it okay to do steam maybe 5 or 6 hours after the spray?

It is generally recommended to wait at least 1-2 hours after using a nasal spray before doing steam inhalation. This allows the nasal spray to be absorbed properly and have its intended effect. So, you can safely do steam inhalation 5-6 hours after using Sinarest nasal spray. Remember to follow the recommended dosage of Sinarest and consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

I've been having this sore throat for the past day, and it really hurts when I sleep or take a sip of water. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm starting to worry a bit. Could this be a sign of something I should be concerned about, or maybe something I need to do to make it better?

Throat pain that worsens during sleep and while drinking water could be due to inflammation or infection. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can try lozenges containing benzocaine (e.g., Cepacol) to help numb the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the pain persists for more than a few days or if you develop other symptoms, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

I'm having a problem with my right earit feels blocked, and I can hardly hear anything out of it. This has been going on for three days now and it all started suddenly when I woke up one morning. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Right ear blockage can be due to various reasons such as earwax buildup, fluid accumulation, or an ear infection. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help soften the earwax and clear the blockage. You can also try using a warm compress on the ear to relieve any discomfort. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. It doesn't hurt, and I'm not having trouble swallowing, but it's just really uncomfortable. Any advice on what kind of test I should consider to figure out what's going on?

You may consider getting a barium swallow test or an endoscopy. These tests can help identify any potential issues in your throat or esophagus. Additionally, a laryngoscopy can also be helpful in examining your throat more closely. Please consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate test for your specific situation.

I'm really wondering if having my tonsils taken out will weaken my immunity or if there are any other side effects I should know about after the surgery. Any insights?

Removing tonsils does not significantly reduce immunity. In fact, the tonsils are part of the body's immune system, but their removal typically does not lead to a noticeable decrease in overall immunity. However, after surgery, some common side effects may include temporary pain, swelling, and difficulty swallowing. These symptoms can usually be managed with pain medication and rest.

I'm really concerned about what the FNAC report means for my left-sided cervical lymph node swelling. It mentioned necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis with small lymphocytes, immunoblasts, macrophages, and some epithelioid cell granulomas, plus specks of necrosis. Could you explain what this means and suggest any treatments? Also, should I be worried about this finding?

Treatment for necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis typically involves a course of antibiotics such as **Augmentin (AmoxicillinClavulanic Acid). In cases where the infection is severe or not responding to antibiotics, a short course of **Prednisone** may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

It's been quite confusing, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could it be something serious, or is there a simple explanation for this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing voice changes. This could be due to various reasons such as vocal strain, throat infections, or other underlying medical conditions. To help improve your voice quality, you can try using lozenges like Strepsils for soothing the throat and reducing inflammation. Additionally, you can use steam inhalation with menthol (such as Vicks) to help with any congestion or irritation in the throat. If the issue persists, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a really bad cough that gets worse at night, but it's milder during the day. Its been about a week now, and Im really starting to get worried. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do to find some relief?

For nighttime cough, you can try taking **Benadryl** (diphenhydramine) at night to help with the cough and improve sleep quality. For daytime relief, you can consider taking **Robitussin DM** (dextromethorphan and guaifenesin) to help suppress the cough during the day. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for both medications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having a lot of trouble with my mouth lately. My oral cavity feels like it's burning, and it's full of ulcers. There are also these white patches and bands inside my cheeks, and my mouth keeps watering heavily. It's impossible for me to eat anything spicy, even if it has zero chili. The worst part is the ulcers on my lipsthey just won't heal and seem to be spreading on both my upper and lower lips. I do chew tobacco, so I'm really worried if this might be something serious like carcinoma. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Oral cavity burning with ulcers, white patches, and bands inside the cheeks along with excessive mouth watering could be indicative of a severe condition. The unhealing ulcers on the lips, especially if growing daily, raise concerns for carcinoma due to tobacco chewing. To address the symptoms and potential underlying condition, I recommend seeking immediate medical attention for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. Treatment may include a combination of medications such as: - Topical corticosteroids like Triamcinolone dental paste for the ulcers - Antifungal medication like Nystatin oral suspension for white patches - Analgesics like Paracetamol for pain relief Additionally, it is crucial to stop tobacco use immediately to prevent further worsening of the condition and reduce the risk of carcinoma development.

In such cases, your doctor may consider prescribing a different class of antibiotics or other medications. You can try using lozenges containing Benzocaine or Dyclonine for symptomatic relief. Additionally, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe your throat.

I've been having nose problems for the past couple of months. I've tried homeopathic medicine and septillin, but nothing seems to be working. It's really hard to breathe because my nose gets blocked, and there's this thick yellow discharge. What could be going on, and what should I do to get some relief?

Based on your symptoms of difficulty in breathing, blocked nose, and yellow thick discharge, it seems like you may be suffering from a sinus infection. I recommend you try taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin (500mg, three times a day) along with a decongestant like Sudafed (30mg, every 4-6 hours) to help relieve your symptoms. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray regularly can also help with nasal congestion. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried because last night while I was eating my meal of rice and fish, my mum brought home takeout from Hardee's. I couldn't resist and took a big bite of the burger along with a spoonful of rice, and soon after, I felt pain in my throat. Do you think this could be something serious, or maybe just a reaction to eating different things together?

This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as irritation from the food you ate or possibly an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort in your throat, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets) to help with any acid reflux that may be causing the pain. Additionally, you can also try gargling with warm salt water to help soothe your throat. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to seek medical advice.

It sounds like your mother may have a foreign body sensation in her throat due to the peanut. I recommend she take 1-2 tablespoons of liquid antacid to help coat the throat and reduce discomfort. Additionally, she can try eating a small piece of banana or bread to help push the peanut down. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, she should seek medical attention immediately.

Feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's super annoying and irritating. There's no pain, but I'm really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of this feeling?

It sounds like you may be experiencing globus pharyngeus, which is the sensation of a lump or something stuck in the throat without any actual blockage. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try gargling with warm salt water, drinking plenty of fluids, and sucking on throat lozenges. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to reduce any acid reflux that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, you may consider using an over-the-counter mucolytic agent like Guaifenesin (e.g. Mucinex) to help thin out any mucus that could be causing the sensation.

Is it okay to take Sinarest while I'm on Inderal 40mg? I've been dealing with Graves' disease and was on Neo Mercazole 5mg with Inderal for months, but they recently stopped the Neo Mercazole. I'm continuing with the Inderal, and now I've got this blocked nose and watery eyes because of my sinus. Could you let me know if adding Sinarest would be alright?

Taking Sinarest, which contains paracetamol, phenylephrine, and chlorpheniramine, along with Inderal 40mg can potentially increase the blood pressure-lowering effects of Inderal. This combination may also increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. It is important to consult your doctor before taking Sinarest while on Inderal 40mg. Your doctor may suggest alternative medications for your sinus symptoms that do not interact with your current medication regimen.

I've had this constant heaviness in my head since July 2013 and it's really affecting my balance when I'm walking or standing. It feels like there's pressure moving around in my head all the time. When it first started, I was feeling dizzy constantly and I couldn't hear properly for like ten days. This all happened after I experienced some dizziness and I was on Mala D pills for about seven to eight months because of my PCOD. Back then, I even felt balance problems while standing during my PCOD treatment. I've tried anxiety meds but they didn't help for long. I'm not sure what's going on but I've been on different medications since, and nothing has worked. Right now, there's constant pressure around my head, I'm always tired and dizzy, and my energy is super low. I can't stand still without feeling this heaviness moving around. It's so frustrating and I can't really describe how weird it makes me feel. Plus, I don't get my periods without medicine... because of PCOD. Could you please help me figure out what's happening?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to vestibular migraine, which can cause a variety of symptoms including dizziness, imbalance, and pressure in the head. The history of giddiness, balance problems, and ongoing symptoms like tiredness, dizziness, and low energy are suggestive of this condition. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking preventive medications such as Amitriptyline

I've been having this weird issue lately and I'm getting a bit worried. I'm a 26-year-old female, and for the past two days, I've noticed brown stains when I clear my throat in the morning. This has never happened to me before. Im also taking Sandu blood purifier syrup every night just before bed, and its the same color as the stains. On top of that, I get mouth ulcers and tonsillitis quite often. Do you think the syrup could be causing the discoloration, or is this something I should be more concerned about?

The brown stain in your cough could be due to the Sandu blood purifier syrup you are taking, as it is of the same color. It is possible that the syrup is causing irritation or inflammation in your throat, leading to the brownish stain in your cough. I recommend stopping the syrup for now and observing if the brown stain improves. Additionally, frequent mouth ulcers and tonsil issues may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation in your throat and oral cavity. I suggest you consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

It sounds like you may have a sinus infection with a possible connection to your tooth. The yellow pus and bad smell are concerning symptoms. To help with the infection, you can try taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can use a nasal spray like Fluticasone propionate spray in each nostril once daily to reduce inflammation in the sinuses. It's important to follow up with the CT scan as recommended by your healthcare providers for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Should we try something else, or do you think we should give the syrup more time to work? Is there anything else we can do to ease her discomfort?

Continue to take Benadryl, and consider starting a course of antibiotics if her cough is accompanied with fever. You may also try some antihistamines to help with any allergic component of her symptoms.

I'm 21 and dealing with a septum deviation towards the right side plus a concha bullosa on the same side. My doctor mentioned surgery, but I'm wondering if it's really necessary. Do you think it's something I should go ahead with?

It is common to undergo surgery for septum deviation and concha bullosa if they are causing symptoms. The surgery is called septoplasty and it helps to correct the deviated septum and concha bullosa. It is usually recommended if you are experiencing difficulty breathing, frequent sinus infections, or other related symptoms. The surgery can improve airflow through the nose and alleviate symptoms. The doctor may also prescribe pain medication and nasal decongestants post-surgery to help with recovery.

I've had these Circumvallate papillae for about 5 years, and just last Thursday, after dinner, I noticed some new bumps forming behind them. I'm not someone who smokes or drinks. I even attached a couple of images for you to seethe first highlights these bumps in red, located right behind the junction of the Circumvallate papillae, and the second should help pinpoint exactly where they are. It's tough to get an appointment with an ENT right now. I'm just wondering, does this sound normal to you, or should I be worried enough to try harder to see a doctor? I'm dealing with anxiety over this and it's affecting my sleep. I'm really hoping you can help me understand what's going on.

To help reduce inflammation and alleviate any discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a mouth rinse containing chlorhexidine to help with any potential infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription of antibiotics or other medications.

A little of my Azeflo nasal spray dripped down my throat, and I'm worried because I ended up swallowing some of it. The taste was terrible and it made me vomit. Is that something I need to worry about?

A little of Azeflo nasal spray dripping down your throat and swallowing a little should not cause harm. However, if you are experiencing vomiting and an awful taste, it is best to rinse your mouth and drink some water to help alleviate the taste. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

Is using clove oil safe to treat an ear infection at home? My right ear keeps ringing, and it's really irritating. Sometimes a liquid comes out, and then the ringing stops, but it starts again after a while. This has been happening for a couple of days now. What should I do?

Using clove oil for ear infections at home is not recommended as it can potentially cause irritation and allergic reactions in the ear canal. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and keep the ear dry. If there is discharge from the ear, avoid putting anything inside the ear canal and seek medical attention promptly.

Hey, I'm really worried about my mom. Shes been dealing with vertigo, and our family doctor says its related to her middle ear. For the past two days, shes been stuck in bed. Every little move makes her so dizzy, and she even vomits when trying to get up. On top of that, staying in bed has caused her shoulder and back to hurt terribly. What can we do to help her feel better and get rid of this quickly? This is all so sudden and she's never had these issues before. She's on vertistar md8 as prescribed. Any advice would be appreciated.

For vertigo symptoms related to the middle ear, it is important to continue taking Vertistar MD-8 as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, I recommend keeping her well-hydrated and ensuring she gets plenty of rest. To alleviate the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, she can also take 'Stugeron' which helps in relieving vertigo symptoms. For the shoulder and back pain, she can take 'Flexon' to help with the discomfort. It is advisable for her to avoid sudden head movements and to slowly change positions to prevent triggering vertigo episodes. If her symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been taking amoxicillin and I've noticed I've got a rash now. I found online that penicillin-based antibiotics can have side effects like this. Should I stop taking the amoxicillin, or is it okay if I keep going but maybe take something like cetrizine to handle the allergy? I'm just really unsure about what's best to do here.

It is important to stop taking amoxicillin if you have developed a rash as it may indicate an allergic reaction. You should consult with your doctor to confirm the allergy and for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine to help with the rash and itching.

I'm dealing with granular pharyngitis and my ENT said my throat is a bit red inside, plus I've got this ongoing acidity issue. I've been put on ESSOM L and Coolora mouthwash for ten days. Should I be worried about granular pharyngitis? Is it just a common thing or can it turn into something serious down the line?

Granular pharyngitis is a condition characterized by the presence of small, red spots on the back of the throat. It is usually caused by chronic irritation or inflammation of the throat. In most cases, granular pharyngitis is not a serious condition and can be managed with appropriate treatment. The medication ESSOM L is a combination of Esomeprazole and Levosulpiride, which helps in reducing stomach acid production and improving digestion. The recommended dosage is usually one tablet before breakfast for 10 days. Coolora mouthwash is used to relieve symptoms of sore throat and mouth infections. It is usually recommended to use the mouthwash after meals or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment plan and complete the full course of medication as advised by your ENT specialist. Additionally, managing your acidity issue through dietary and lifestyle modifications can help prevent further irritation to the throat. If you have any concerns about your condition or treatment, it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I've been dealing with some thyroid issues and I'm finding it really hard to swallow food and water. It's been pretty concerningcould there be a connection between my thyroid and this swallowing trouble? What should I do about it?

You may be experiencing symptoms of an enlarged thyroid gland, also known as a goiter. In this case, you can try taking Levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid) at a dosage prescribed by your doctor to help regulate your thyroid function and reduce the size of the goiter. Additionally, you may benefit from taking Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) at a standard dosage to help reduce any inflammation that may be contributing to your difficulty swallowing. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I haven't seen a doctor about this yet, and I'm also dealing with essential tremor. Are there any exercises or treatments that could help with these issues?

It sounds like you may be experiencing voice modulation issues. You can try using voice therapy techniques to improve your voice quality. Additionally, you can use medications like Botox injections to help with essential tremors. For voice modulation, you can try speech therapy exercises and vocal warm-ups. For essential tremors, you can consider taking Propranolol. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I'm experiencing a cough whenever I'm in air conditioning, whether it's day or night. Even when I'm on an AC bus, my throat gets itchy and the coughing starts. I don't have any nasal congestion or other symptoms, just this persistent cough that's been really bothering me. What could be causing this?

You can try taking a cough suppressant like Delsym (Dextromethorphan) 30mg every 6 hours as needed to help alleviate the cough. Additionally, you can use a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air and soothe your throat. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

I'm dealing with a swollen lymph node in my neck and it's really tender and painful when I touch it. I don't have any current infections, but I did have an ear infection that lasted for two weeks. It's been about 20 days since that cleared up. I dont have any unexplained bumps or infections now, and my throat isn't sore. My lips are chapped, though, but that might just be from the cold weather. I'm worried about why my lymph node is swollen. Could this be a sign of cancer?

It is possible that the swollen lymph node in your neck is a result of your recent ear infection. Lymph nodes can become swollen and tender as they work to fight off infections in the body. In your case, the lymph node may still be reacting to the previous ear infection even though the infection itself has resolved. It is less likely that the swelling is due to cancer, especially since you do not have any other concerning symptoms such as unexplained bumps, ongoing infections, or persistent sore throat. The chapped lips could indeed be a result of the cold weather. To help reduce the swelling and tenderness in your lymph node, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. You can also apply a warm compress to the area for comfort. If the swelling persists or if you develop any new symptoms, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been experiencing this persistent pain above my eyebrows and it's really starting to worry me. I'm not sure what's causing it or how I should go about treating it. Can you help explain what might be going on and what steps I should take to feel better?

Pain above the eyebrows can be due to various reasons such as tension headaches, sinusitis, or eye strain. To treat it, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area can help reduce inflammation and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Can using nasal saline spray really help protect us from getting infected by black fungus? I'm curious about how this works and if it's something I should consider.

Nasal saline spray like Solespre can help in keeping the nasal passages moist and clear, which may potentially reduce the risk of fungal infections. However, it is important to note that nasal saline spray alone may not be sufficient to prevent black fungus infection. It is essential to maintain good hygiene practices and seek medical attention if any concerning symptoms arise.

Another option is Robitussin Dry Cough (dextromethorphan) syrup, with a recommended dosage of 10 mL every 4 hours. Always follow the instructions on the label and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a while now, below where my Adam's apple is, sort of around the thyroid gland area. I went to see an ENT specialist and he mentioned it might be granular pharyngitis after checking my tonsils, but it just doesn't feel right. It's like the sensation is further down. What do you think could be causing this feeling, and what steps should I take next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat, which could be related to granular pharyngitis. To help alleviate this feeling, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic (benzocaine) to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any inflammation or allergic reactions that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, it would be advisable to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with these mouth ulcers on my tongue for a while now. I've tried using Clogen lozenges and some weekly antifungal meds for the past three months, but they're just not going away. I've even seen a dentist, and they couldn't find anything wrong. They clear up, but then they're back after a few days. I've also been taking Vitamin B supplements. Plus, Ive been having some digestion issueslike I constantly need to go to the bathroom to clear my bowels. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any suggestions on what I could try next?

I recommend trying a combination of medications to address the possible underlying causes. You can try using a mouthwash containing Chlorhexidine to reduce oral bacteria and promote healing. Additionally, taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole can help with your digestion issues and reduce stomach acid, which may be contributing to the mouth ulcers. For the mouth ulcers specifically, you can also use a topical corticosteroid like Triamcinolone acetonide dental paste to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage for each medication.

I've been having some pain on the right side of my neck whenever I yawn or chew, and I've heard it might be related to a cold, but that doesn't really make sense to me. Any idea what could be causing this and what I should do about it?

While yawning or chewing, pain on the right side of the neck could be due to muscle strain or inflammation. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dosage of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently massaging the neck muscles may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

So, a doctor pulled on my larynx about a month ago, and ever since, I've been a bit worried if that caused any kind of trauma. I didn't notice any physical symptoms right after, but a few days later, I started feeling some discomfort inside my neck. I'm also wondering if this clicking sensation I've been feeling was always there or if I'm just more aware of it now. When I turn my head to the right or left, there's this silent clicking on the right side of my larynx. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

It is possible that the manipulation of your larynx by the doctor could have caused some trauma or irritation. The clicking sensation you are feeling when turning your head could be related to this. I recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to help reduce any inflammation and discomfort. Additionally, you can try using a warm compress on your neck to help relax the muscles. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with post nasal drip and allergies for the last couple of months and things got worse when I flew recently. During landing, I felt this terrible pain in my ears like they might burst. The ear pain faded by the next day, but now I'm having trouble with a pain in the right side of my Adam's apple when I swallow. There aren't any other symptoms. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

I've been dealing with this annoying throat irritation and wet cough with phlegm for a while now. I've already tried all kinds of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. One doctor prescribed Prednisolone, and it made me feel better while I was on it, but as soon as I stopped, all the symptoms came back, like the phlegm and weird throat sounds while I'm sleeping. Im trying to figure out why it keeps coming back. Could there be something else going on that's causing these symptoms to persist?

I'm feeling a bit off because the right side of my throat has been heavy for about 8 to 10 days now. I haven't had a cough or sneezing, and there's no dry cough either. Also, I haven't traveled anywhere recently. I've tried gargling with hot salt water, but it hasn't really helped. It feels like there's a swelling or something stuck on that side, but when I look, there's no visible swelling from the outside. Could you please help me understand what's going on?

I'm really worried about my husband. His neck is swollen on the left side, behind the ear, and it doesn't hurt. Our ENT specialist did a fine needle test and the microscopy report says there's no sign of cassation granuloma or malignancy. They mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid aspirate and advised excision if there's clinical suspicion for Koch's. Can you help explain what all this means? We also tried two weeks of antibiotics and the swelling seems to be getting smaller. I'm trying to understand if we should still be concerned.

I've been dealing with this issue where I'm producing way too much saliva every day, and it's been going on for years.

Excessive salivation, along with frequent burping and nausea, can be frustrating, but it's important to identify the underlying cause in order to find the right treatment. Start by considering common causes such as GERD, oral health issues, or stressanxiety. You might also want to speak to a healthcare professional, such as a gastroenterologist or ENT specialist, to help pinpoint the cause and explore appropriate treatment options.

I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening for quite a while now. Whenever I chew my food or drink something, I notice this buzzing sound in my right ear. It starts internally and stops about 10-15 seconds after I stop chewing. This has been going on for about 45 months, and I'm wondering what's causing it and if there's a way to stop it. Any insights?

The buzzing sound you're experiencing in your right ear when chewing could be related to Eustachian tube dysfunction, TMJ disorder, or even tinnitus. These conditions are often treatable, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen. The doctor can help determine the exact cause and recommend the appropriate treatment for you.

I'm having a lot of trouble with persistent pain on one side of my throat, and it's affecting my ear, neck, and face. My eye also feels irritated. I've been dealing with this for a long time, even though I had a septoplasty about a year ago.

It's really making life difficult for me. What could be going on, and what should I do?

Given the complexity and persistence of your symptoms, its important to consult with an ENT specialist, as they can evaluate the full range of possible causes, from chronic infections to sinusitis or TMJ disorders. In addition to medical treatments, lifestyle adjustments and stress management can help you cope with the discomfort.

But I'm not totally sure if it's actually there or if it's just in my head. On top of that, I've been dealing with a cough for over a week now. Could these things be related, and is there something I should do?

Visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm 21 and recently got a small tear in my eardrum because of water from a pond. I've noticed that water is frequently leaking from my ear now. My doctor recommended that I take serlox D, ceferite 500, montas L, and pentab 40. Do you think these medicines will actually help with my condition?

The medications prescribed by your doctor seem appropriate for managing the ear infection, preventing complications, and supporting healing. Make sure to adhere to the treatment plan and avoid water exposure to your ear until the eardrum has healed. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, be sure to follow up with your doctor.

I'm really concerned about whether it's safe to use Betadine 10 solution, the kind that's labeled for wound cleaning, as a gargle. The bottle specifically says it's for external use only, and I don't want to do anything harmful. Could you let me know if it's okay to use this way or if I should avoid it?

No, Betadine 10% solution, which is typically labeled for external use only, should not be used for gargling or any internal use

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of plastic from an oregano sachet while I was eating pizza a couple of days ago. I'm not having any trouble breathing or swallowing, and my bowel movements seem normal. But I've been experiencing some acidity, like burps, a feeling of fullness in my throat after eating, and a bit of soreness. Should I consider getting an endoscopy, or is this something that might resolve on its own?

At this stage, its likely that you dont need an endoscopy. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm trying to understand a recent report I got. It mentions "mild DNS toward the right" and "bilateral concha bullosa," plus something about "pneumatization of the left anterior clenoid process" being an anatomical variant. Can you help me make sense of what these terms mean for my health? Should I be worried about any of this?

If you're experiencing symptoms like nasal obstruction, sinus infections, or facial pressure, you may benefit from: Medical treatment: Nasal sprays, antihistamines, or decongestants. Surgical evaluation: If symptoms persist, consult an ENT specialist. Procedures like septoplasty or turbinate reduction might be considered.

Sure, I've noticed that every time I kiss my partner for more than five minutes, I end up with a sore throat. It's been happening for the last three months, and I'm not sure why. I know I'm prone to tonsil infections - I get them easily from things like outside food, cold drinks, or even lack of sleep. But right now, my main worry is this recurring sore throat after kissing, which hits me within 30 to 60 minutes and sticks around for 4 to 5 days, or sometimes longer. It's been consistent since I first kissed her about three or four months ago. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to prevent it?

Consider getting tested for streptococcal infections or other bacterialviral causes, and discuss your recurring sore throat issues with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician, who may recommend preventive measures such as gargling with salt water, using a humidifier, or taking immune-boosting supplements, and also consider discussing your concerns with your partner, as it's possible that you may be transmitting infections back and forth, and taking steps to maintain good oral hygiene and safe kissing practices.

I'm experiencing this strange sensation like there's water stuck in my throat, and it's been going on since yesterday. It's kinda freaking me out, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Is this something I should be worried about or maybe just a minor thing that'll pass? Any ideas on what this might be or how I could find some relief?

The sensation of having water stuck in your throat could be due to various reasons such as acid reflux, postnasal drip, or a swollen throat; try gargling with warm salt water, sipping warm tea, or taking antacids to alleviate the discomfort, and if the sensation persists, consult a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.

I've got a sore throat that I'm pretty sure is an infection, and my tonsils are kind of swollen too. I've been coughing a bit, but there's no fever. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to feel better?

Consider consulting a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper evaluation, as your symptoms suggest a possible viral or bacterial throat infection, and they may prescribe antibiotics if necessary, or recommend symptom-relieving measures such as gargling with salt water, using a humidifier, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

I just had an x-ray of my nose and the PNS result showed some haziness in the right maxillary sinus. My ENT doctor has put me on a course of amoxclav for five days, plus I'm using a fluticasone nasal spray and taking telecast L tablets. I'm really curious about what's causing this haziness.

I'm really concerned because I've had this sore throat for about two months now. It's red at the back and hurts a bit when I swallow. I've seen a couple of doctors alreadyfirst, I had a throat culture which was negative, then the ENT specialist prescribed calithromycin or cliff tablets, plus a gastric tablet and painkiller, but that didnt help at all. At RML hospital, they suggested amoxicillin for 6 days and sefixime for 5 days, still no relief. I read somewhere that it might be post-nasal drip and was advised to try an anti-allergy tablet and a steroid nasal spray. Can you suggest any specific nasal sprays or antiallergy tablets that might help?

Take anti-allergic tab and steroid nasal spray for 3weeks...it seems it's due to post nasal drip...

I'm dealing with a wet throat pretty often lately and sometimes I get a cough in the morning or evening. I saw a general physician, did a chest X-ray, blood test, and spit test, and everything came back normal. I've been on medicine for 10 days, but I don't feel like it's getting any better. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation, as a wet throat and persistent cough despite normal tests and medication may indicate underlying conditions like acid reflux, postnasal drip, or allergies; the ENT specialist can perform a thorough examination, potentially using endoscopy or allergy testing, to identify the root cause and recommend targeted treatment.

I'm having an issue with my uvula. It seems unusually long and stretched out, and feels almost like there's something stuck in my throat when there isn't. Sometimes it makes me gag randomly. Is this something I should be worried about?

I've been dealing with this internal cold and sore throat for a couple of months now, and on top of that, I've got gas problems that are causing constipation. It feels like my belly is constantly filled with gas, and it's really making life hard for me. I've tried some medicines like some kind of pauladom and lanol, and they helped for a while with the gas. But then it all started up again, and now my doctor has me on some sinno spray for the cold and rablet. Could you help me understand what these symptoms might be all about?

When higher antibiotics are taken they kill the normal flora of the gut, and cause irregular bowel movements. They also cause gastritis. For this you will have to take a course of probiotics. Also other causes for irregular bowel movements and gastritis like malabsorption syndromes, metabolic disorders, crohns disease, ulcerative colitis will have to be looked at. So kindly consult a nearby general surgeon for your abdomen problems and ENT specialist for cold and sore throat. You might be started on proton pump inhibitors and probiotics for the same.

I'm really worried about this sensation of something stuck in my throat that's been bothering me for the last three months. At first, there was this heaviness near my throat, but thankfully that's gotten better. Whats weird is the problem of feeling like there's something there just won't go away. Earlier, I also had a burping issue, but thats stopped now. I should mention I used to smoke and have quit since March when these throat issues started. Any idea what could be going on?

Your persistent sensation of something stuck in your throat, despite improvement in heaviness, could be related to acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or a throat irritation; quitting smoking is a positive step, but consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions, such as a throat polyp, inflammation, or esophageal narrowing, and to discuss further diagnostic tests like endoscopy or imaging studies.

I've had this headache and really sore throat for the past day, and now I'm feeling a bit nauseous too. I checked my throat out and my tonsils look normal, but I noticed I've got these three lumps in a triangle shape behind my uvula. Any idea what this could be? I'm thinking it might be the start of a cold, but I'm not sure how that's connected to the lumps.

The triangular formation of lumps behind your uvula, accompanied by headache, sore throat, and nausea, could be indicative of swollen lymphoid tissue ; however, it's essential to consult a such as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician, for a thorough examination and diagnosis, as the lumps may also be related to other conditions, such as tonsillar pillars or a viral pharyngitis.

I'm experiencing some ear discomfort that seems to flare up mostly at night. I've also been having this persistent cough and feel like my hearing isn't as sharp as it used to be. Could you give me some advice on what I should do about this?

Start using ear drops like Otek AC or Otocin O 2 drops 3 times a day, an anti-allergic like Cetrizine tablet at night and if you are not hypertensive, a decongestant like Otrivin nose drops 2 drops 3 times. Otherwise, steam inhalation is safe! You can take an analgesic like Combiflam, if the pain is severe! Next Steps Consultant an ENT if the symptoms or cough persist

My 2-year-old son was born with an ear pit in his left ear, and it's gotten infected. We've already gone through a 2-week course of antibiotics and used topical ointments, but there's been no change. What should be our next step?

Consult an ENT specialist or a pediatric surgeon for further evaluation and guidance, as recurrent infections in preauricular pits often require surgical excision to prevent future complications; they may recommend imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI to assess the extent of the pit and surrounding tissue, and discuss surgical options to remove the pit and affected tissue.

I've had surgery on my ear because there was this small hole, and before that, my ear kept getting wet. It's been 15 days since the surgery, and everything seemed fine, even though I had this heartbeat sound in my ear for the first 45 days. After 8 days, they took the dressing off, and it all seemed normal. But now, on the 14th day post-surgery, there's this non-stop vibrating noise in my ear. Does this mean my surgery didnt work as it should have? It was okay for over two months, and now this. What could be going on?

After surgery such as tympanoplasty it is common to have symptoms such as your for atleast three weeks. It is not really abnormal. Complete recovery and healing may take upto three months. Unless pus starts coming out of your ears, you need not worry much

I'm a woman in my mid-twenties, about to turn 26, and I'm weighing around 112 pounds. I went to see my ENT for some allergy concerns and out of nowhere, he suggested I get a tonsillectomy. He mentioned that my tonsils are pretty large and he's worried that if I ever gain weight when I'm older, it might lead to sleep apnea. I am of Asian descent, and I've been told that makes me more prone to sleep apnea. Honestly, I don't have any recurring throat issues, just some snoring, and the only time I had throat problems was back in 2010 with a few bouts of strep throat but nothing since then. He thinks I should have them removed now since recovery might be easier while I'm young. Do you think I should go ahead and get my tonsils out? Does all this sound like a good enough reason to proceed with the surgery?

Yes. In my opinion. You should go ahead with the tonsillectomy.

I've been dealing with this dry cough for the past 10 days and I went to see a doctor. They gave me antibiotics and anti-allergy meds, but I'm not seeing any improvement. The doctor checked and said my chest and throat are clear. A few days ago, they suggested I use betadine solution for gargling, but my voice is still blocked and this dry cough just won't go away. Any idea what might be going on or what else I should try?

. Rest. Get plenty of sleep and rest your voice. Drink fluids. Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist and prevent dehydration. Try comforting foods and beverage. Warm liquids broth, caffeine-free tea or warm water with honey and cold treats such as ice pops can soothe a sore throat. Gargle saltwater. A saltwater gargle of 1 teaspoon.

The persistent white thick mucus in your throat, accompanied by the need to clear your throat frequently, and gastric issues, may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows up into the throat, causing irritation and mucus production, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist or ENT specialist to discuss treatment options, such as antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or lifestyle changes like dietary modifications and elevated head positioning during sleep.

I've been feeling like I constantly need to clear my throat, it's been happening for the last five days and it's starting to bother me.

Your persistent need to clear your throat, without cough or cold, could be related to gastric reflux, as stomach acid can flow up into the throat, causing irritation and mucus production, but other possibilities include allergies, sinus issues, or environmental irritants, so consider consulting an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with a lot of excessive salivation lately and it's really hard for me to swallow. I'm worried and wondering what could be causing this and what I can do to help it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Excessive salivation (hypersalivation) and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) can be caused by various factors, including anxiety, stress, oral infections, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), neurological disorders, or medication side effects; remedies include practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, chewing sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva swallowing, avoiding acidic or spicy foods, elevating the head of your bed, and consulting a doctor or dentist to rule out underlying conditions that may require medical attention.

The doctor mentioned it might be tinnitus and gave me some meds, but they dont seem to be working. Could it really be tinnitus, or might it be something else?

Tinnitus is ringing sound in the ear...it may be due to impacted wax,fluid in the middle ear,acute or chronic otitis media, abnormally patent eustachian tube, minieres disease, otosclerosis,noise trauma, ototoxic drugs etc...it may be due to non otologic conditions like Anaemia, hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, hypoglycemia,epilepsy,migraine etc...so detailed clinical examination and evaluation needed Consult nearest ent specialist they will do the needful.

I'm a 27-year-old male, and something really strange has been happening for the past two days. When I try to inflate my mouth like I'm blowing up a balloon, this little area in my right jaw puffs up too. It's a super weird sensation, something I've never felt before. And when I massage the area right below my right ear, I can hear a kind of air bubble popping sound. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

The unusual sensation of a pocket inflating in your right jaw when filling air in your mouth, accompanied by an air-bubble-popping sound when massaging the area, may indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a blocked salivary gland, or a rare condition like pneumoparotitis; consult a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

For a 47-year-old woman with an 80mm colloid nodular goiter, surgical removal (thyroidectomy) may be recommended if the goiter is causing symptoms like difficulty swallowing, breathing, or neck discomfort, or if there's suspicion of malignancy; however, surgery carries risks like vocal cord damage, hypoparathyroidism, and bleeding, so it's essential to consult an endocrinologist or thyroid surgeon to discuss the risks and benefits and determine the best course of action.

I've been feeling like there's something in my throat, almost like a lump or leftover food. Its kind of weird, and I also notice these small burps or like there's something stuck that makes me want to manually burp. Lately, I've been having some gas issues too, especially after I eat. Any idea what's going on?

Your symptoms suggest acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the throat, causing discomfort, lump sensation, and burping; consider antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or H2 blockers, and lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and elevating your head while sleeping.

I'm really struggling because I've got a nasal polyp that just won't quit and it's especially bad at night. I usually use Otrivin nasal spray which helps a lot, but I'm out of it right now. The polyp is making it so I cant breathe well and Im having trouble sleeping. What can I do to open up my nasal passage right away?

If drug treatment doesn't shrink or eliminate nasal polyps, you may need endoscopic surgery to remove polyps and to correct problems with your sinuses that make them prone to inflammation and polyp development... Your surgeon may also enlarge the openings leading from your sinuses to your nasal passages. Endoscopic surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure.

I've been dealing with this weird smell in my nose that only I can feel, and it only happens when I exhale. It's not just a smell, it's like a warm sensation in my chest, but there's no real pain, just discomfort. I have a history of headaches that seem to be linked to weather changes and are usually one-sided or behind my eyes. I'm seeing an ENT who's given me antibiotics and an allergy spray, and there was a little improvement, but the smell came back around day eight of the ten-day antibiotic cycle. I also noticed that drinking coffee makes the smell worse. It's like a dusty, smoky, stuffy, warm odor, and it's almost like I can feel it too. My ENT is planning a CT scan of my sinuses and mentioned that everything looks good from the exams he did with a scope. I've done blood work and urine tests for STDs and other diseases and everything was negative. He mentioned the chance of a brain tumor is extremely slim based on the follow-ups and exams. I'm really puzzled and just want to figure out what this could be. How much further do I need to go to get some solid answers?

A contrast enhanced CT scan of your nose and paranasal sinuses should reveal the pathology.

I've noticed that the skin inside my mouth is peeling off in layers, but I dont feel any pain when it happens. It's kind of concerning, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening?

The peeling of skin inside your mouth, also known as oral mucosal desquamation, can be caused by various factors, including vitamin deficiencies (B12, iron, or zinc), oral lichen planus, mucositis, or irritation from dental work, mouthwashes, or certain foods; given the absence of pain, it's likely a benign condition, but consulting a dentist or oral pathologist for a thorough examination and guidance is recommended to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I recently got bitten by an insect they call the Nairobi fly, and now there's this blister on my skin that's turned into scabby scales. Does the whole blistering thing and scabbiness mean it's healing, or should I be worried about it? Also, after seeing my doctor, they mentioned something about an injection. Do you think this will help with the healing process, or is there something else I should be doing?

Nairobi flies don't bite, but their body releases a toxin when in contact with the skin. Secondary infection by scratching is to be avoided. See a skin specialist if needed.

I've been using Cipla ear drops to clear out ear wax because I noticed I can't hear so well from my right ear. I'm wondering if it's alright to continue using them, or should I really see a doctor about this?

Can getting slapped or hit by a ball on one side of the face really mess up both ears? I'm kinda worried about how that could affect my ear drums. Can you help me understand the risks here?

A slap or being hit by a ball on one side of the face can potentially cause damage to both eardrums, as the shockwave from the impact can transmit through the skull and affect the inner ear structures, including the eardrums, on both sides, a condition known as bilateral tympanic membrane perforation or bilateral eardrum damage.

I'm worried because I was using an earbud to clean my ear, and some of the cotton got stuck inside. I managed to pull some of it out with tweezers, but not all of it. Then I tried putting a couple of drops of Soliwax in my ear. Will this help, or should I be doing something else to ensure my ear is okay?

Using an earbud to clean your ears can push earwax deeper, and leaving cotton behind can cause irritation; attempting to remove the cotton with a plucker can also cause damage; applying Soliwax ear drops may help dissolve the remaining wax, but to ensure relief and avoid further complications, consult an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and safe earwax removal.

I've been experiencing this weird thing where my ears get really hot and red. It seems to happen mostly when I eat meat or chicken, but sometimes it just happens out of nowhere. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to worry me a bit. Any ideas on what might be going on?

The symptoms of reddening and hot ears, especially after consuming meat and chicken, may indicate an allergic reaction, food intolerance, or histamine sensitivity; consider consulting an allergist or immunologist to rule out conditions like histamine intolerance, and try keeping a food diary to track triggers, while also exploring over-the-counter antihistamines or natural remedies like quercetin.

I've been dealing with this weird ear issue for a few months now. It started with this clicking sound in my left ear only when I talked, and then I began noticing this crackling sound in both ears while yawning. Initially, the ENT said it was an Eustachian tube blockage, but there's been no pain at all. The clicking seemed to go away for a while, but now its back and feels pretty recurrent. I'm really curious and slightly worried about what might be causing this, and wondering what you think could be going on. Is it really just a blockage, or could there be something else happening? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

The recurrent clicking in your left ear, accompanied by crackling in both ears during yawning, suggests Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD), as diagnosed by your ENT specialist; to manage symptoms, try: nasal decongestants, ear drops, and exercises like the Toynbee maneuver (swallowing while pinching the nose) and Valsalva maneuver (exhaling while pinching the nose and closing the mouth), and consult your ENT specialist for further guidance and potential tympanometry testing.

The inability to sneeze, despite the urge, can lead to pent-up pressure, causing headaches and stomach discomfort; try relieving the tension by: applying pressure to the philtrum (area between nose and upper lip), taking a warm shower, drinking plenty of fluids, or using saline nasal sprays to loosen mucus, and if symptoms persist, consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT

I've been dealing with swollen tonsils for around 3 years now, and every so often, there's this thick yellow stuff that comes out from the tonsil crypts. I've tried various antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. There's no pain or fever, just the swelling. What could be going on, and is there something else I should try?

The persistent swollen tonsils with occasional thick yellow discharge from tonsil crypts, despite multiple antibiotic treatments, suggest a chronic condition, possibly chronic tonsillitis or recurring tonsilloliths (tonsil stones); consider consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough evaluation, which may include a tonsillectomy, cryptolysis, or other procedures to address the underlying cause and alleviate symptoms.

I'm really worried about my son. He's been having issues with his adenoids for the past year, and he's just 4 and a half. Sometimes he struggles to breathe through his mouth. The doctor mentioned surgery might be the best option. Im curious, whats the newest and safest type of adenoidectomy? Do you think going through with this surgery is a smart move?

For a 4.6-year-old child, adenoidectomy surgery is a common and relatively safe procedure to relieve breathing difficulties, ear infections, and sinus issues caused by enlarged adenoids. The latest and safest type of adenoidectomy surgery is often performed endoscopically through the nose and oral cavity, with minimal blood loss and complications. Benefits of Adenoidectomy Surgery: - Relief from breathing difficulties: Enlarged adenoids can cause nasal obstruction, leading to mouth breathing, which can affect your child's sleep, growth, and development. - Reduced risk of ear and sinus infections: Enlarged adenoids can increase the risk of ear and sinus infections, which can lead to hearing loss, speech delays, and other complications. - Improved sleep quality: Adenoidectomy surgery can help improve your child's sleep quality by relieving nasal obstruction and promoting better breathing.

Given your symptoms of recurring morning bleeding from the mouth or nose without other symptoms, consider consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or an Otorhinolaryngologist, who can examine your nasal passages and sinuses to identify potential causes, such as nasal dryness, allergies, or bleeding disorders, and recommend appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried about my pleomorphic adenoma diagnosis from 07052015. I've tried a bunch of homeopathic treatments, but nothing seems to work. I'm hoping to find a non-surgical solution. Are there any effective medications I should look into?

Given your diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma and lack of response to homeopathic treatments, it's essential to consult a qualified oncologist for evidence-based advice; currently, there is no proven non-surgical treatment for pleomorphic adenoma, and watchful waiting or surgical excision are typically recommended; some research suggests that medications like Imatinib or Tamoxifen may be effective in shrinking salivary gland tumors, but these treatments are still experimental and require further study.

It's normal for some residual symptoms like itching and sounds to persist for a few weeks after tympanoplasty, as the ear canal and eardrum take time to heal; however, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your ENT surgeon to rule out any complications, such as graft failure, infection, or middle ear fluid, and to determine the best course of action.

persistent cough and itchy throat for over two weeks, especially after a fever, may indicate an underlying condition such as a lingering respiratory infection, allergies, acid reflux, or postnasal drip; a proper evaluation and diagnostic tests (e.g., throat swab, chest X-ray) can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

It sounds like you might be dealing with chronic irritation, possibly due to post-nasal drip or a mild infection, which can lead to a scratchy throat and inflamed papillae. The white coating on your tongue, which is scrappable, could indicate a fungal overgrowth or poor oral hygiene. If antibiotics aren't helping, it might be worth revisiting the ENT specialist for a more targeted approach, such as antifungal treatment or addressing any underlying reflux or immune system factors.

Expectations After Medication Insertion* 1. *Bleeding*: You can expect bleeding to start within 2-7 days after the medication insertion. However, this timeframe may vary. 2. *Expulsion of Retained Products*: The retained products (measuring 9cc) may be expelled during the first menstrual cycle, but it's not guaranteed. *Factors Influencing Expulsion* 1. *Size of Retained Products*: The size of the retained products (9cc) is relatively small, which increases the likelihood of natural expulsion. 2. *Effectiveness of Medication*: The medication inserted by your doctor is designed to help expel the retained products. Its effectiveness may influence the timing and success of expulsion. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Track Your Symptoms*: Keep a record of your bleeding, cramping, and any other symptoms. 2. *Follow-up Appointment*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the progress and determine if further intervention is needed.

I'm really struggling with sinus issues and just wanted some advice. For the past couple of months, I've been having this pain on the left side of my forehead that goes down to my nose. There's also this yellowish, smelly discharge that keeps coming from the left side of my nose. I just had a CTPNS done and it showed moderate mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus, causing about 70 to 80% of air space to opacify, and it's reaching into the middle meatus through the maxillary ostium. There's also some moderate thickening in the bilateral ethmoid air cells and mild thickening in the bilateral frontal sphenoid sinuses. I've got bilateral concha bullosa with secondary mucosal thickening too. I've been on medication for the past 15 days things like Augmentin 625, Allegra M, Defza 6mg, Ezicas nasal spray, and Enzoflam. They help for a bit, but after 7 to 8 hours, the symptoms just come back. What do you suggest I do now?

I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. Whenever I swallow or drink water, it feels like something's lodged right in the middle. It's weird because I don't notice it while I'm eating, but afterwards, that sensation comes back. Also, I've noticed these small pink pimple-like bumps towards the back of my tongue. What's going on with me?

I'm really having a tough time with my headphones. I can't manage to keep them on for more than 5 minutes because they cause discomfort and sometimes even a slight pain in my ears and throat. It's okay when I'm not using them, but I can't figure out if I will ever be able to use headphones again without this issue. I've noticed dryness in my ears, so I tried using a few drops of coconut oil which helps temporarily, but then after 30 minutes of headphone use, my ears are dry again and the discomfort returns. Could it be the headphones causing the dryness, or is there something else going on? I'm really looking for a permanent solution to this ear and throat discomfort from using headphones. Any suggestions?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.

I accidentally swallowed a whole jackfruit seed and I'm a bit worried. I can talk just fine, but I'm not really sure if I'm actually feeling something in my throat or if it's just all in my head. Is there anything I should be concerned about, or steps I need to take?

Yes if there was any obstruction it would have resulted into dysphasia or dyspnea

I'm dealing with Granular Pharyngitis and have been for a few years now. My throat constantly feels heavy and clogged with cough, and I find myself needing to clear it all the time. It's tough to talk sometimes, and my voice has gone hoarse permanently. I saw a local ENT specialist, but I didn't get much help. Do you think I should get a second opinion? Any advice on dealing with this would be really appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with Granular Pharyngitis. It can be frustrating, especially when it affects your voice and makes talking difficult. Seeking a second opinion is a good idea, as a more thorough evaluation and treatment plan can help manage symptoms better. It might be useful to look into lifestyle changes, medication, or even voice therapy depending on the severity.

I'm really struggling with a sore throat and it's becoming hard to swallow my saliva. I think it might be a bacterial infection. Do you have any suggestions on what medication I should take to feel better?

Throat pain and difficulty swallowing saliva could be a sign of a bacterial infection like strep throat. It's important to consult with a doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic like amoxicillin or azithromycin. In the meantime, you can use throat lozenges and warm saline gargles for relief.

I was laughing at a joke and inhaled quickly, and the chewing gum I was eating accidentally went down my throat. I'm not entirely sure if it went through my food pipe, but now I have a cloggy sensation in my throat, maybe because I coughed a lot trying to clear it. Im worried it might be stuck in my windpipe or somewhere near my throat bone. I don't have any breathing issues, cough, or fever, but the feeling is unsettling. Is it possible the gum got stuck in my windpipe, or could there be another reason for this sensation?

Its unlikely that the chewing gum went into your lungs, especially since you're not experiencing breathing problems or a cough. The sensation in your throat is likely due to irritation from coughing or mucus, not the gum being stuck in your windpipe. If the discomfort persists, its always a good idea to check with a doctor for peace of mind.

I've been getting this weird swelling on my forehead lately. Sometimes it's on the left and other times on the right. It doesn't really hurt, but there's a bit of itching. It comes and goes within a few hours. Any idea what might be causing this?

The swelling on your forehead could be due to an allergic reaction, skin irritation, or even a mild form of hives. The itching without pain suggests it might be related to an environmental factor, like a change in weather, skincare products, or allergens. If it persists or worsens, it would be a good idea to check with a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

I'm having this constant pain in my ear, like right on that little flap part, the tragus. It really hurts, especially when I press on it. I'm worried and not sure what's causing it. What could be going on with my ear?

It sounds like you're experiencing pain in your tragus, which could be due to an infection, inflammation, or even pressure on the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like an ear infection or cartilage irritation.

I tested positive for strep last week, and my sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and slight fever made me feel pretty rough. But now, after some rest, all those symptoms have disappeared. I was supposed to start antibiotics, but since I'm feeling much better, I'm wondering if it's really necessary. Are there risks if I've started to feel better on my own? I haven't taken antibiotics in ages, and they usually mess up my stomach, which concerns me because I'm also breastfeeding. Should I go ahead and take them anyway, or is it okay to skip them since everything seems to be improving?

For breastfeeding mothers, it is important to choose antibiotics that are safe during lactation to avoid any harm to the baby. It is crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the infection is completely eradicated. If you have concerns about the impact of antibiotics on your digestive system, you can discuss potential alternatives or supportive measures with your healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with this issue for about 10 months now, and it's really stressing me out. It all began with some pain in my neck, and I felt like there was a weird mass or something abnormal inside. I went to a doc in ST Jones Bangalore, and he suggested an ultrasound, which showed a submandibular gland infection. He put me on a 7-day antibiotic course, twice, but it didn't help. Then they did an FNAC, but nothing was found, and I got another round of antibiotics, still with no improvement. After that, the doc recommended a biopsy, so I went over to Manipal hospital for another opinion. There, another ultrasound was done, which now didn't show any gland issues but indicated a mild swelling in the lymph node. Again, I was given a 7-day antibiotic, and still, nothing's changed. I've been to the doctor four times now, and they're just giving me medicine. But my pain is getting worse every day, and I'm really scared that it might be something serious. The symptoms keep changing, too. Lately, I feel numbness on my left side and head and have trouble swallowing and chewing. Could you advise me on what to do next?

It sounds like you have been experiencing a complex medical issue with your submandibular gland and lymph nodes. Given the persistent symptoms and lack of improvement with antibiotics, it may be necessary to consider other treatment options. Considering the evolving symptoms and the need for further evaluation, I would recommend seeking a consultation with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a detailed examination and a possible referral for additional tests or procedures.

I'm really worried about something crawling in my left ear and both ears popping like they do on flights. I've also been dealing with some clear mucus in my throat. I was given Montair LC and then Levoday, but didn't feel much better. The nasal endoscopy didn't show anything wrong, and my doctor thinks it's due to allergies. I've been using Avamys nasal spray and saline spray since my fungal sinusitis surgery back in 2015. I also try steam inhalation and the Toynbee maneuver, but after 2.5 months, nothing seems to help. I've even got jaw pain now. Is there any way to permanently fix this?

You are experiencing symptoms of allergic rhinitis, which can lead to eustachian tube dysfunction and discomfort in the ears. The medications prescribed by your ENT specialist are aimed at managing your symptoms. For the sensation of something crawling in your left ear and the ear popping, you can try using Fluticasone nasal spray (brand name Flonase) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. This can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and improve eustachian tube function. For the jaw pain, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to continue using Avamys nasal spray and saline spray as advised, as well as practicing the steam inhalation and Toynbee maneuver. These measures can help alleviate your symptoms. If your symptoms persist despite these interventions, you may need to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

These symptoms could be indicative of hypothyroidism. I recommend consulting a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take Levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid) at a dosage of 25-50 mcg daily to help regulate thyroid hormone levels and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, ensure you are getting enough rest, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced diet to support overall health.

I'm really worried and need some advice. For the past three months, I've been waking up every morning with brown phlegm, but the rest of the day it's clear. It's coming from my throat, and I dont have a cough. I don't smoke, and I live in a calm area with low pollution and a humid climate. It's really freaking me out, and I can't shake the feeling that something might be seriously wrong. Should I be worried? Are there any home remedies that might help?

Spitting brown phlegm in the morning can be alarming, but it's often treatable. Given your symptoms and environment, here are possible causes: *Possible Causes* 1. *Postnasal drip*: Mucus from your nose can drip down the back of your throat, causing brown phlegm. 2. *Acid reflux*: Stomach acid can flow up into your throat, causing inflammation and brown phlegm. 3. *Allergies*: Seasonal or environmental allergies can trigger excess mucus production. 4. *Sinusitis*: Inflammation of the sinuses can cause thick, discolored mucus. *Home Remedies* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to thin out mucus. 2. *Saline gargle*: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day. 3. *Honey and lemon*: Mix equal parts honey and lemon juice in warm water to soothe your throat. 4. *Elevate your head*: Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce postnasal drip. *Medical Consultation* If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult an *ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist* or a *primary care physician*. They may recommend: 1. *Nasal endoscopy*: To examine your nasal passages and sinuses. 2. *Throat swab*: To check for infections. 3. *Acid reflux testing*: To diagnose acid reflux. 4. *Allergy testing*: To identify potential allergens.

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of a toothpick, probably about a quarter of it, and now my throat feels a bit strange. I dont have any other symptoms, but I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about this? What should I do?

Since you've swallowed a small piece of toothpick and aren't experiencing severe symptoms, monitor your condition closely, and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs of intestinal perforation, such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or difficulty breathing; however, if your symptoms remain mild, it's likely the toothpick fragment will pass through your system without issue.

I'm kind of worried because I've had nosebleeds a couple of times now. The first time it happened was back in February, and then it happened again just this May, lasting about 5 minutes and around 34 drops. On top of that, I've been dealing with stomach pain before and after meals. I work at a power plant and usually eat at the office canteen. Do you think there's something serious going on?

The nosebleeds you are experiencing could be due to dry air or irritation in your nasal passages. To help with this, you can use a saline nasal spray like Nasoclear 2-3 times a day to keep your nasal passages moist. As for the stomach pain before and after eating, it could be related to gastritis or acid reflux. You can try taking an antacid like Mucaine Gel or Gelusil Syrup after meals to see if it helps with the pain. Since you work in a power plant, it's important to stay hydrated throughout the day and eat light, non-greasy meals to avoid exacerbating your stomach issues. If the symptoms persist, it's recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried about what might be causing this discomfort. Could it be something other than a dental issue? What should I do next?

The pain you are experiencing near your ear and jaw could be due to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and doing gentle jaw exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists, you may need to see a specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've been eating chalk almost daily, and it's kind of turned into a habit for me. I'm worried though, like is this actually bad for my health? Is it something I need to be concerned about?

I got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.

I've been dealing with a sore throat off and on for about 1.5 to 2 months now. Sometimes, it lasts for about 4 to 5 days with cold and fever happening every couple of weeks. I'm trying to manage it by gargling hot water regularly and I've avoided cold drinks and ice creams during this time. Can you offer any advice or suggest what might be going on?

Your recurring sore throat, accompanied by cold and fever, could be due to a lingering viral or bacterial infection, allergies, or environmental factors, and despite your efforts to manage symptoms, consider consulting an ENT specialist for a thorough examination, and potentially, a throat swab or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, antivirals, or anti-allergic medications.

My nose tip has been itching really badly every morning. It's strange because it only happens in the morning, never at any other time of the day. Once I'm ready and about to leave for work, the itching starts, and it's really annoying. I can't seem to figure out why or what might be causing this. Any ideas?

Morning nose tip itching can be frustrating. Here are some possible causes: *Allergies* 1. *Dust mites*: Exposure to dust mites in your pillow or bedding. 2. *Pet allergies*: If you have pets, their dander might be causing the itch. *Environmental Factors* 1. *Dry air*: Low humidity in the morning can dry out your skin, causing itchiness. 2. *Cold weather*: If you live in a cold climate, the morning chill might be irritating your nose. *Skin Conditions* 1. *Seborrheic dermatitis*: A common skin condition that can cause itchiness and flakiness. 2. *Contact dermatitis*: Irritation from a new soap, moisturizer, or other product. *Other Possible Causes* 1. *Nose picking or rubbing*: Unconscious habits can cause irritation and itchiness. 2. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like vitamin B7 (biotin) or omega-3 fatty acids. To alleviate the itch, try: 1. Applying a gentle moisturizer to your nose tip. 2. Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. 3. Avoiding scratching or rubbing your nose. 4. Keeping your bedroom clean and dust-free.

You may be experiencing allergic rhinitis. I recommend trying an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily in the morning to help alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Fluticasone (brand name Flonase) 1-2 sprays in each nostril daily can also be beneficial in reducing nasal congestion and inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an allergist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because I sneezed this morning and felt something happen in my ear. It wasn't too painful at first, but now the pain has become unbearable tonight. I tried steaming, which made me feel a bit better, but the pain came back. Can you help me figure out what's going on with my ear?

It would be advisable to consult an ENT doctor in this situation. There could have been a perforation of the tympanic membrane (ear drum). There is also a possibility of impacted wax having been dislodged due to the sneeze and causing pain thereafter.

I'm a bit concerned because after getting the wax cleaned from my ear, it's now bleeding. The doctor mentioned there might be a little blood, but should I be worried if it's more than just a little? What should I do next?

After cleaning the wax, it is normal to experience some bleeding. You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area to prevent infection and promote healing. You can also use a sterile gauze pad to apply gentle pressure on the area to help stop the bleeding. If the bleeding persists or worsens, please seek medical attention.

I've been feeling this mild pain on the left side of my throat, but only when I yawn. It's weird because swallowing food doesn't hurt at all. This has been happening on and off for the past week. The pain seems to be on the outside rather than inside my throat, and there's no swelling that I can see. What could this be? Is there something I should be worried about?

Could be due to muscle strain or irritation. Since you do not experience pain while swallowing food and there is no swelling in your throat, it is less likely to be an infection. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help with the discomfort. Additionally, you can try using throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water to soothe the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I've been having this strange issue where every time I sneeze, there's this really bad smell in my nose. I tried washing my nose thoroughly, and it seems to help with the smell. So I'm guessing it might have something to do with mucus. It's only started happening recently, maybe around 2 or 3 times, but the smell is definitely unpleasant. Should I be worried about this for my health, or is it just a weird, harmless phase?

This bad smell you are experiencing when you sneeze could be due to a condition called atrophic rhinitis. In atrophic rhinitis, the lining of the nasal passages becomes inflamed and thins out, leading to a foul odor. It can be caused by various factors such as chronic sinus infections, nasal polyps, or environmental irritants. To help manage this condition, you can try using saline nasal sprays to keep the nasal passages moist and prevent the buildup of dried mucus. In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or nasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. If this issue persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm having some issues with pain in the right side of my neck, and it seems to be coming from a vein and extending to the lower part of my head. I also feel really cold and there's a heaviness in my right ear. Sometimes the pain gets really intense and I feel nauseous too. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a sinus infection or sinusitis. I recommend taking a combination of a decongestant and pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain and congestion. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help with the cold symptoms and heaviness in the ear. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having a bitter taste in my mouth whenever I cough, but there's no blood in the phlegm. I've also got on-and-off congestion and a stuffy nose. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

You may be experiencing symptoms of post-nasal drip. To help with the bitter taste in your mouth and congestion, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like loratadine (Claritin) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can use a nasal decongestant spray like oxymetazoline (Afrin) 2-3 sprays in each nostril every 12 hours as needed for congestion. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to help with your symptoms.

I've been feeling under the weather since this morning after drinking really cold water. My throat's sore and it hurts to swallow anything, plus I feel like I've got a bit of a fever. Could this be a throat infection? What should I do to feel better?

You may have developed a throat infection, also known as pharyngitis. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the fever and throat pain. Additionally, you can use lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol to help numb the throat and make swallowing easier. It is also important to stay hydrated by drinking warm fluids like tea with honey. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because I found two white spots on my uvula. I recently came back from a trip where I was talking loudly, and my throat ended up red and swollen. I just noticed the white spots today, although I don't have any fever symptoms. It just feels like there's a hair stuck in my throat. What could this be, and should I be concerned?

Since you have no fever symptoms and it feels like something is stuck in your throat, it could also be related to irritation from talking loudly. To help with the symptoms and treat any possible infection, I recommend using a throat spray like Chloraseptic to help numb the throat and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol (acetaminophen) to help with any pain or inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried because while I was eating, I accidentally scratched my throat. Now I'm coughing a lot, and my throat feels really itchy. It also hurts whenever I swallow. Do you think this is something serious, or will it just go away on its own? Should I be doing anything specific to help it heal or make the pain go away?

It sounds like you may have developed some irritation in your throat from scratching it while swallowing. To help with the pain and itchiness, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic which contains benzocaine. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the discomfort. Additionally, sucking on throat lozenges containing menthol or eucalyptus can also provide relief.

I've been dealing with a persistent dry cough for about three months now. There's no cold or fever with it, but the coughing isn't constantjust enough that it's causing some pain in my throat. I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried since it's been so long. Any advice on what might be causing this or steps I could take to feel better?

Persistent dry cough for more than 3 months can be due to various reasons such as postnasal drip, asthma, or acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan. You can also consider using throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help with the throat pain. Additionally, staying hydrated and using a humidifier can also provide relief. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing something strange with my nose. There's this yellow runny liquid coming out, and it kind of looks like urine but it isn't the usual nasal discharge. I've just recently gotten over a cold about 23 days ago, so I'm not sure if it's related. It feels similar to when you have a nosebleed but without any blood. It's been happening for about a day now, just in small drips. I'm really confused and would appreciate some advice on what might be going on. Any thoughts?

You may be experiencing a condition called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, where there is a leakage of clear fluid from the nose. This can sometimes be mistaken for urine due to its color and consistency. CSF rhinorrhea can occur after a head injury or surgery, but in some cases, it can also happen spontaneously. In your case, since you mentioned having a cold recently, it is possible that the increased pressure from coughing or sneezing during the cold may have caused a small tear in the tissue surrounding your brain and spinal cord, leading to the leakage of clear fluid. I recommend you see a doctor as soon as possible for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, it is important to avoid blowing your nose forcefully and to keep your head elevated to potentially reduce the leakage.

I'm experiencing some swelling on my uvula and it really hurts at the back of my throat. It kind of feels like there's something stuck in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Swelling on the uvula with pain and feeling like something is stuck in your mouth could be due to inflammation or infection. This condition is known as uvulitis. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and using throat lozenges to soothe the pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing benzocaine for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

My throat's been hurting for a couple of days now, but its not like a typical sore throat. The pain feels like its on the outside at two specific spots, and it doesnt hurt when I swallow or anything, no cold symptoms either. The pain's just there constantly, whether I talk, sneeze, yawn, or even touch my throat. Eating and drinking seem normal though. Is it okay if I have cold foods or spicy stuff? And should I be doing any gargling since it's not like the usual throat pain we hear about?

Yes, you can eat cold things and normal spicy food. For the pain in your throat, it is advisable to gargle with warm salt water. Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and gargle with it several times a day. This can help reduce inflammation and provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) following the recommended dosage on the package.

I'm really worried because I noticed blood in my saliva today, and I'm not even coughing. A month ago, I also saw blood after I vomited. What could this mean and what should I do?

Spitting blood in saliva without coughing or vomiting blood can be concerning. This could be due to various reasons such as gum disease, oral trauma, or gastrointestinal issues. Since you have also experienced vomiting with blood in the past, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may need to undergo further investigations such as endoscopy to determine the cause of the bleeding. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter antacids like Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid and protect the stomach lining. However, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I'm experiencing some pain and swelling right in front of my tragus, kind of towards my face. I've tried using an ear wax and infection solution, but it's not helping. Also, I'm having these small feverish spells. What could this be, and what should I do?

Could indicate an infection in the ear or surrounding area. I recommend you use an antibiotic ear drop like Ciprodex (ciprofloxacindexamethasone) to help with the infection. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen for pain and fever relief. However, it is important to see a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been having this pain right on the side of my Adam's apple, and it's pretty tender when I press on it from the outside. It really hurts when I swallow, but it's not like a regular sore throat 'cause it doesn't hurt at the back of my throat. It's more at the front, and if I tense up like before sneezing or when yawning, it hurts even more. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

You may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the area around your Adam's apple. This could be due to a condition called thyroiditis. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can try using a warm compress on the area to help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with swollen tonsils for about 10 months now, and its starting to worry me. It all started when my doctor said I had viral pharyngitis, which cleared up in a week. But then my left tonsil swelled up without any pain, and a few weeks later, the other one did too. It's been a long time now, and the swelling hasn't gone down. Plus, it's giving me bad breath and other problems. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?

Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin can be prescribed to help reduce the swelling and infection in your tonsils. If the antibiotics do not improve the condition, a tonsillectomy may be considered as a treatment option. Additionally, you can try using a saltwater gargle or throat lozenges to help alleviate the discomfort and bad breath associated with swollen tonsils.

I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain on the left side tip of my nose. It feels really sore to touch, but I can't see any pimples or anything there. This started in the afternoon, and I'm not sure what's going on. Should I be worried about it, or is there something I can do at home to help with the pain?

You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin 2% applied inside the nostril three times a day for 5-7 days to help clear up the infection. Additionally, taking Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief can also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been having a rough time in the mornings. As soon as I wake up, I start sneezing non-stop. It's really uncomfortable because my eyes get watery, and my nose starts running. Plus, after sneezing, I always end up with a headache. Could this be allergies or something more serious? What should I do to feel better?

You may be experiencing symptoms of allergic rhinitis. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Zyrtec (cetirizine) 10mg once daily to help with the sneezing, watery eyes, and nasal discharge. Additionally, you can use a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) 50mcg in each nostril once daily to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. If you also have a headache, you can take a pain reliever such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg as needed for relief.

I'm starting to experience some weird issues with my right ear. It feels like a broken speaker, vibrating on and off. It's even worse with loud noises. This all began after a long flight, and I'm worried because Ive had problems with this ear before due to a cholesteotoma. What could be happening?

You may be experiencing symptoms of ear barotrauma, especially considering your history of cholesteatoma and recent long haul flight. I recommend using a decongestant nasal spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to help relieve the pressure in your ear. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) for any discomfort. Additionally, consider using earplugs or earmuffs in noisy environments to protect your ear. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm kind of worried because I think I swallowed a small chicken bone while eating yesterday. It doesn't hurt right now, but I'm not sure what to do. I've tried gargling and even eating a banana to see if it helps, but nothing's really working. Should I be doing something else, or is this a wait-it-out kind of thing? How serious could this be if it doesn't feel painful?

In this case, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent any complications. In the meantime, you can try eating soft foods like yogurt or pudding to see if it helps dislodge the bone. However, if the bone is still stuck, do not delay in seeking medical help. I recommend you to go to the nearest hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm wondering if there's any chance that my positional vertigo could be linked to my ongoing issues with indigestion, acidity, and other gastric problems. I've been dealing with this for about four years now, and it really feels like my vertigo might be connected to these digestive issues. Could you help me understand if there's a connection?

Positional vertigo is typically caused by inner ear problems rather than indigestion, acidity, or gastric problems. However, it is possible for these gastrointestinal issues to indirectly exacerbate vertigo symptoms due to the close connection between the inner ear and the digestive system. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Meclizine (brand name: Bonine) for vertigo and antacids like Tums for indigestion and acidity. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress levels can also help improve your overall well-being.

Could be indicative of a condition known as tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is often caused by a viral or bacterial infection and can result in inflammation and pain in the throat, tongue, and ear. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can try using throat lozenges to soothe your throat. It is also important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been noticing that since yesterday, everything sounds kind of echoed. It's like someone is talking to me through a hollow pipe right next to my ear. And today, I've started having a mild headache. Could this be a stress-related issue because I had an intense week with non-stop phone calls using in-ear headphones for about 8 hours each day? Or should I be concerned about something else going on?

The continuous use of in-ear headphones for long hours can sometimes lead to such problems. I recommend taking a break from using headphones and giving your ears some rest. You can also try using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help with any ear congestion. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really puzzled about this recent issue with my left ear. For the past four days, whenever I sleep, my left ear gets blocked, and I can't seem to hear out of it. I've tried switching from a soft pillow to a harder one, thinking that might be the cause, but it's still happening. In the mornings, I can get it to open by shaking my head for about 20 minutes, but I'm curious why this keeps happening just on the left side. Could you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any solutions?

You may be experiencing Eustachian tube dysfunction, which can cause a feeling of blockage in the ear. I recommend using a decongestant nasal spray such as Afrin (oxymetazoline) to help open up the Eustachian tube and relieve the blockage. You can also try taking an oral decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help reduce congestion in the nasal passages. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help keep the nasal passages moist and aid in relieving the blockage. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've had this pain three times last year, and now it's starting up again. I'm really not sure what's going on, and I'm worried about it. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what medicine I should be taking?

It sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent episodes of pain. Without a specific diagnosis, it is difficult to recommend a precise treatment. However, for general pain relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

My daughter is 6 years old and she has adenoids. The main issue we're seeing is that she really snores a lot at night. To try and avoid surgery, someone mentioned that we could use metaspray and give her Montair LC at night. I'm really curious about whether that's a good idea or not. Any advice would be great!

Metaspray is a nasal spray containing Mometasone which is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. Montair LC is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast helps in reducing inflammation in the airways and Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that helps in relieving allergy symptoms. These medications can help reduce nasal congestion, inflammation, and snoring associated with adenoids. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I've been having this weird sensation in my throat for the past month. It feels like something's stuck there, but it doesn't hurt. Sometimes it's right at the top of my throat, other times it's lower down. Eating and swallowing are totally fine, no problems there. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?

From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat without any pain or difficulty swallowing. This sensation is known as globus pharyngeus. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, post-nasal drip, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help alleviate this sensation, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) to see if it improves. Additionally, drinking plenty of water, avoiding acidic or spicy foods, and practicing relaxation techniques may also be beneficial. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing something a bit off with my throat lately. One of my tonsils is bigger than the other, and though it's really swollen, it doesn't hurt. It has holes in it, and every now and then I notice these small white stone-like things coming out that smell pretty bad. On top of that, my throat has these red bumps that just won't go away. And when I swallow, it feels like there's something on the side with the swollen tonsil. Could this be serious, like tonsil cancer? Should I be thinking about getting my tonsils removed? I'm really worried and would appreciate some guidance on what this might be.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of tonsillitis with tonsil stones. Tonsillitis can cause one tonsil to be larger than the other, along with swelling, holes, and the presence of white stones that emit a foul odor. The red bumps on the wall of your throat may be related to the inflammation in the area. The sensation of something being present when you swallow could be due to the swollen tonsil. I recommend you start with a course of antibiotics to treat the infection. Use a throat gargle like Chlorhexidine mouthwash to help with the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by an ENT specialist may be necessary.

I'm dealing with some really irritating throat stuff like a bad dry cough that just won't stop. It's so bad I can't even talk properly. I don't have a cold, just this annoying cough. I know I'm allergic to apples and citrus fruits, but I haven't had those in a long time. I'm starting to think maybe it's the smoke from the mosquito coils I've been using. Could they be causing this cough? I haven't tried any medicine yet, and I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice?

Exposure to mosquito coil smoke could be exacerbating your existing allergy symptoms. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to help with the allergic reaction. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge or syrup containing Diphenhydramine (brand name Benadryl) for soothing the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid further exposure to mosquito coil smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my ear. A couple of days ago, while using a q-tip, the bud came off in my right ear. I'm 13 and after trying to flush it out with water, it didnt work and wasn't too painful, but after a visit to the local clinic, the doctor couldnt remove it because the pain was too much. We tried flushing it again but my ear started to bleed. Now I'm barely hearing from my right ear and it's getting worse. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have some irritation or injury in your right ear from the q-tip incident. To help with the pain and potential infection, you can use antibiotic ear drops like Neomycin-Polymyxin B-Hydrocortisone drops. It's important to keep the ear dry and avoid inserting anything into it. If the pain and bleeding persist, you should follow up with an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm struggling with recurring tonsil infections whenever I eat spicy foods for several days in a row. Is there any way to deal with this once and for all, aside from opting for surgery?

Spicy foods can irritate the tonsils and lead to inflammation or infection. To help prevent tonsillitis, you can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. Additionally, you can use lozenges or throat sprays for relief. If you experience frequent tonsillitis episodes, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics like Amoxicillin to treat bacterial infections. However, if the problem persists, a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils) may be considered as a permanent solution.

In addition to staying hydrated, you can try using a saline nasal spray for your dry nose. Also, consider using a humidifier in your room at night to help with the dryness.

I've been dealing with this really weird problem where my breath smells like rotten eggs or sulfur and I just can't figure out why. I brush my teeth three times a dayafter I wake up, after lunch, and before bed. I also floss regularly and use nonalcoholic mouthwash. I used to have tonsil stones and thought that might be the reason, but even after getting my tonsils removed, the smell hasn't gone away. It's like the smell is coming from the top of my mouth or maybe even from my stomach. My diet is pretty normal, and I'm maintaining a healthy weight at 6'2'' and 180 lbs. Plus, I'm pretty active since I'm always on my feet at work. What do you think could be causing this?

It could be related to gastrointestinal issues. I recommend trying a medication like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production, which can sometimes contribute to bad breath. Additionally, you can try using simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help reduce gas in the stomach, which can also cause bad breath. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages for these medications. If the issue persists, consider consulting with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I recently had my ear wax removed by an ENT specialist and now everything sounds super loud to me. My own voice even echoes a lot, which is really disturbing. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?

you may be experiencing temporary changes in your hearing sensitivity and perception due to the removal of ear wax. To cope with this, you can try using ear plugs or earmuffs in noisy environments to reduce the loudness of sounds. Additionally, you can try speaking softly and practicing speaking at a lower volume to minimize the echo effect of your own voice. Over time, your hearing should adjust back to normal.

Use antibiotic ear drops such as Ciplox-D ear drops. You can instill 4 drops into the affected ear 4 times a day for 5-7 days. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep your ear dry and avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention.

So, I'm on day 12 after my tonsillectomy and up until yesterday, it seemed like almost all the scabs were gone and my throat looked mostly pink. But today, I've noticed that this white stuff is showing up again. Should I be worried about that or is it normal?

It is normal to see some white patches reappear in your throat after a tonsillectomy, even after the scabs have fallen off. This could be due to the healing process and is usually not a cause for concern. However, if you experience severe pain, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing, it is important to contact your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can continue to manage your symptoms with pain relief medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as prescribed by your doctor.

Ive noticed my uvula seems to be touching my tongue, and it feels like something is hanging at the back of my mouth. Its making it hard for me to talk. Could this be something I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may have an elongated or swollen uvula, which is causing discomfort and affecting your speech. I recommend taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen to reduce swelling and discomfort. You can also try gargling with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm having some trouble with pain on the left side of my throat, where my food pipe is. It's really noticeable when I'm jogging and taking in air; it hurts quite a bit. The pain seems to stick around throughout the day too. Sometimes it even makes my left ear hurt a little. Any ideas on what this could be or how to deal with it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in your throat, possibly related to acid reflux or a throat infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production and help with any acid reflux. Additionally, you can try using a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your throat as needed. It's also important to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoking or alcohol. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing for a while now that whenever I eat, everything tastes way too spicy, and it makes me lose interest after just a few bites. It's like everyone else finds it normal, but for me, it feels like there's too much spice in the food. This has been a thing for the past few years. Also, sometimes when I'm brushing, my gums bleed a bit. Could these things be connected somehow, or is it something I should be worried about?

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, which can cause a sensation of spiciness or burning in the throat or chest after eating spicy foods. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to help with the symptoms. Additionally, for the bleeding gums, you may benefit from using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a gentle toothpaste, as well as incorporating a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help reduce inflammation and bleeding. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dentist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've got a throat infection, and I'm wondering if azibact and cepodem have the same ingredients. Is it safe to switch from one to the other, especially if I'm dealing with something like follicular tonsillitis?

Azibact contains Azithromycin, while Cepodem contains Cefpodoxime. They belong to different classes of antibiotics and have different compositions. For throat infection or follicular tonsillitis, Azithromycin (Azibact) is commonly used. Cefpodoxime (Cepodem) may also be effective for these conditions, but it is not typically the first choice. It is important to follow the specific dosage and duration as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

It is not recommended to exceed the dosage instructions on the bottle. Taking more than the recommended dose can lead to potential side effects and complications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I've been dealing with acid reflux for a while now, and its been quite uncomfortable. Im feeling a bit better since I started treatment last month, but I'm worried about the long-term effects. Does having acid reflux increase my risk of cancer? Im also really curious if there's a way to permanently cure acid reflux or if its something Ill have to manage forever. Could you shed some light on this?

Acid reflux, if left untreated for a long time, can lead to complications such as Barrett's esophagus, which is a risk factor for esophageal cancer. However, with proper management and treatment, the risk of developing cancer can be minimized. There is no permanent cure for acid reflux, but it can be effectively managed with lifestyle changes and medications. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as omeprazole (Prilosec) or esomeprazole (Nexium) are commonly used to reduce stomach acid production and provide relief from symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and duration of treatment to control acid reflux effectively.

Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?

You may be experiencing cold symptoms triggered by changes in temperature. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter medication like Tylenol Cold + Flu Severe for relief. Additionally, you can consider using a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your sore throat. Make sure to stay warm and dry to prevent further discomfort.

Surgery is usually not required unless there are complications or the swelling does not improve with conservative treatment. I would recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (500mg, as needed) to help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck back there, but it's not painful, just kind of uncomfortable. I've tried using salt water, but it doesn't seem to do much. Any idea what I should do about this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole.

I've been dealing with a runny nose recently, and while that's gotten better, now I've got this weird issue with my throat that seems like an infection. It's causing some pretty bad pain in my ear, especially around the area just behind my last tooth on the right side. I'm really getting worried. Could it be all connected somehow?

It sounds like you may have developed a throat infection which is causing ear pain. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin to treat the infection.

If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm pretty worried right now; I've been a smoker for the past 10 years but quit just last month. Since then, I've had a nosebleed once, but it stopped. However, about three weeks ago, I started experiencing heaviness and some gastric feelings in my heart, along with heart palpitations. The thing that's really freaking me out is seeing blood in my sputum in the mornings when I clean my throat. At first, it was like actual blood drops, but now it's just tiny, hair-like streaks. I'm also frequently getting that blood taste in my throat, and I've been burping a lot after eating or drinking. Lately, there are some black strains in my spit. I went through some tests like a chest X-ray, sputum AFB for TB, ECG, echo, and troponin test, and they were all normal. The arterial blood gases test and CBC, ESR, and ECG reports are attached. What could be going on with me?

You may be experiencing some complications related to your history of smoking. The presence of blood in your sputum, especially with a history of smoking, raises concerns for potential lung issues. Since your TB evaluation and other tests have come back normal, it is important to address the possibility of lung irritation or inflammation. Additionally, to help with the gastric symptoms and burping, you can take Esomeprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast. It is also important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further investigations such as a CT scan of the chest may be necessary to rule out any underlying issues.

Just wondering about this levoflox 500mg prescription for my ear infection. I accidentally skipped it for three days. Do you think itll still work if I start taking it again from day four? Or is it better to switch to something else?

You should continue taking Levoflox 500mg as prescribed for the remaining 4 days to complete the full course of treatment.

I was changing a lightbulb and it shattered while I was standing underneath. Now I'm worried I might have breathed in or swallowed a tiny piece of glass. I don't feel any pain or discomfort yet, but I do have a bit of a cough. I'm pretty sure that's just from getting over a cold, though. What should I do?

If you suspect that you may have swallowed or inhaled a piece of glass, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. To help protect your throat and stomach, you can take Sucralfate (Carafate) 1g tablet to form a protective barrier over the injured area. It is important to monitor for any signs of pain, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, or breathing difficulties, and seek immediate medical help if any of these symptoms occur.

This lump could be a benign condition such as a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma. It is important to monitor the lump for any changes in size, shape, or symptoms. If the lump causes any discomfort or grows in size, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In case of infection or inflammation, antibiotics may be prescribed.

I'm really concerned about this condition called cough syncope. What kind of tests are usually done to confirm it? How can I be sure if what I'm experiencing is actually cough syncope?

To confirm a diagnosis of cough syncope, the following tests may be helpful: Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test can help rule out any underlying heart conditions that may be causing the syncope. Echocardiogram: This test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart and can help evaluate the structure and function of the heart. Holter monitor: This is a portable device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity. It can help detect any irregular heart rhythms that may be associated with cough syncope. Tilt table test: This test involves being tilted at different angles to see if changes in position trigger syncope. Blood tests: These can help rule out other potential causes of syncope, such as anemia or electrolyte imbalances. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate tests needed for an accurate diagnosis of cough syncope.

I've been noticing that I only feel dizzy when I sneeze, and it's something that's happened several times in the past. But today, it got really bothersome because after a sneeze, I actually lost my balance and fell down. Is there any medicine or solution that could help with this?

This sounds like a case of vasovagal syncope, where sneezing triggers a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure, leading to dizziness and fainting. Medication such as Fludrocortisone can help increase blood volume and reduce the likelihood of fainting episodes triggered by sneezing. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

Now I've got these little red patches on my throat wall, and it hurts when I swallow. Do you think this will just heal on its own, or should I be taking something for it?

To help with the pain and inflammation, you can try using a throat anesthetic spray to numb the area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to reduce the pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit concerned because it's been about two weeks since I had sinus surgery, and I'm still not seeing much improvement in my symptoms. Is it normal to still be feeling this way? How much longer might it take before I start to feel better?

Condition persisting for 2 weeks after sinus surgery is not uncommon. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully. To help with the recovery process, you can take pain medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain, and use saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. If you experience any worsening symptoms or concerns, it is important to follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation.

To resolve your blocked ears due to cold and improve your hearing, you can try using over-the-counter nasal decongestants like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) or Afrin (oxymetazoline) spray. These medications can help reduce the congestion in your Eustachian tubes and improve airflow, which may help relieve the blockage in your ears. You can also try using a warm compress on your ears to help alleviate the discomfort and promote drainage.

I've had this tiny white spot at the back of my right tonsil for about 10 days now. I first went to a general doctor who said it was a bacterial infection and gave me an antibiotic, Poxivio 200, but it didnt help. So, I saw an ENT specialist. He said its just food debris and removed a small part of it, but it hasn't all gone away. He mentioned not removing all of it to avoid blood loss and just told me to do warm gargles and take Zadonase tablets. Should I be worried about this spot hanging around?

It sounds like the white spot at the back of your right tonsil is likely due to food debris, as mentioned by the ENT specialist. The tablet Zadonase prescribed by the ENT specialist can help with any inflammation or infection in the area. Additionally, warm gargles can help alleviate any discomfort and promote healing. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment and continue with the warm gargles as advised.

I had a tonsillectomy about a month back, and ever since, I've been dealing with constant acid reflux. There's this acidic liquid that seems to keep coming up into my mouth, and it's making me feel like I need to vomit. Could this be related to having my tonsils removed? What should I do about it?

It is possible that your acid reflux symptoms are related to your recent tonsillectomy. The condition is known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) and can occur after throat surgeries like tonsillectomy. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole. Additionally, you can use Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for relief. It is important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this weird sensation like there's something stuck in my throat for the past few days. There's a sharp pain whenever I swallow, which is pretty uncomfortable even though I can still do everything else fine. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if there's anything I can do to make it go away. Any advice?

you may be experiencing symptoms of esophageal irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter omeprazole. Additionally, you can try gargling with warm salt water and staying well-hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned because I've been able to see my epiglottis for about a month now, and it seems like it's sitting really high. I'm not having any issues with breathing, swallowing, or speaking, but I'm still worried about why this is happening. Will it go away on its own, or is there something I should be doing to help it get back to normal? Any advice would be appreciated.

You may be experiencing epiglottitis, which is inflammation of the epiglottis. In adults, epiglottitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment. Antibiotics such as Ceftriaxone or Cefotaxime may be prescribed to treat the infection. In severe cases, hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics may be necessary. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and management of your condition.

How can I taper off this combination tablet of Fexofenadine 120 mg and Montelukast 10 mg? Is it possible for me to cut the tablet into four pieces and take one piece each month, or do I need to buy lower doses of Fexofenadine and Montelukast and gradually decrease the mg each month? Anytime I try stopping for a couple of days without tapering, I end up with itching all over my body, which I've never experienced before. I was prescribed this for cold symptoms I get every morning, though I'm fine by the afternoon. They've run several tests, including X-rays, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to stop taking these meds.

I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's 56 and has diabetes. Last year, while she was swallowing her prescribed pills, one got stuck in her food pipe.

But now it has happened twice again, first with pills and then with food. This time the doctor has suggested an endoscopy. We haven't done it yet. Could you help me understand what might be going on with her?

I'm still in school and cant afford to be sleepy during classes. Is it safe for me to keep taking these? What can I do about the drowsiness?

To reduce the effects of dust allergies, you can try these steps: Clean regularly Use a damp cloth or mop to clean floors, and vacuum regularly. You can also use an electrostatic cloth or brush for hard-to-reach areas. Wash bedding Wash all bedding weekly in hot water that's at least 130F (54.4C) to kill dust mites. You can also put bedding in the dryer for at least 15 minutes at a high heat setting. Use allergen-resistant covers Use zippered covers on your mattress, pillows, and box springs. Keep humidity low Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to keep the humidity level in your home below 55%. Reduce dust traps Remove soft furniture and curtains, and avoid heavy drapes. Use a HEPA filter Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter, or install a high-efficiency media filter in your furnace and air conditioning unit. Use a dust mite spray Spray dust mite covers with a product containing acaricides to reduce symptoms. See an allergist If your symptoms are worse at home, especially when cleaning or going to bed, you can see an allergist for diagnosis and treatment.

I'm dealing with something really concerning and would love some advice. Whenever I get super stressed, like genuinely overwhelmed to the point of crying, my throat and tonsils start swelling up. It's like I'm right on the brink of an infection, and within a few days, I'm usually stuck going to the hospital for antibiotics. It just becomes so difficult to breathe, and the swelling never seems to subside, no matter how much I try to rest. It really feels almost exactly like strep throat, but it only happens after really stressful or traumatic events. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

Tonsils do not get increased in size usually because of stress. As per ur description of ur condition in your age is because of chronic tonsilitis. A short course of antibiotics will help the acute exacerbation, but Tonsillectomy would be the final answer to end this repeated infections.

I'm wondering if it's okay to keep inhaling steam for like, several months, doing it morning and evening for about 10 minutes each time. I've been doing this since October because my ENT doctor suggested it for a sore throat and blocked nose, along with some meds. Sometimes I still wake up with a blocked nose, so I've continued with the steam. And honestly, I also think it might help with things considering the pandemic stuff, even though I'm all good now after having COVID during the 2nd wave. Is it safe to keep doing this for a really long time, say 6 to 7 months?

Don't steam longer than 10 to 15 minutes for each session. However, you can repeat steam inhalation two or three times per day if you're still having symptoms.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's making me quite worried. I recently dealt with a lower respiratory infection which is now better, but I've been having these digestion issues since. After I eat, it feels like there's gas building up in my chest. It's strange because there's no pain, just a lot of discomfort. Lately, I've been feeling this tightness or gas build-up in my throat area, or maybe it's the food pipe, again without any pain but really uncomfortable. This tightness is mostly around the lower throat, and sometimes I feel it behind my sternum. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

it is due to acid reflux You seem to be suffering from reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few weeks for long term benefits

I'm dealing with some really bad basal allergies and a persistent cough. I took Leon 500 mg and Lukotas HD at night, but then I just couldn't sleep the whole night and ended up with a terrible headache the next day. Even opening my eyes was painful. How can I avoid these side effects but still tackle the allergies and cough?

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery

I've noticed a bump or pimple-like thing on my uvula, and it's been there for about a month now. There's no pus or anything. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what this could be. Could you provide some insight into what kind of condition this might be?

its a case of uvulitis Gargle with warm salt water: Gargling with warm salt water can help reduce swelling and relieve pain. Mix one teaspoon of salt in one cup of warm water. Gargle every hour. Drink fluids: Drinking plenty of fluids can help ease a sore uvula.

I've been gargling with salt water and noticed these tiny bright red blood strips in my saliva. I've had acid reflux symptoms recently, but those seem to have cleared up. I'm not having any trouble swallowing, no fever, and my voice hasn't changed. The blood stains are really just tiny and only show up when I gargle. Should I be worried about this?

Isolated incidence is no issue, may be it was due to forceful throat clearing.

I'm having this weird sensation like something's stuck in my throat, and sometimes I even feel pain that goes all the way down to my chest. It seems to get worse when I wake up in the morning, but when I gargle or have some green tea, it feels a bit better. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

I've got a pleomorphic adenoma on my left parotid gland again since 2010. I recently went through Sonography, FNAC, and a CT Scan, and they all say it's still there. Everything else around it seems normal, thankfully. My doctors are advising me to go for a Parotidectomy. I'm feeling a bit unsure and worried about this. Could anyone offer some guidance on what I should consider before making a decision?

The most common treatment for a parotid gland adenoma is surgery to remove the tumor, a procedure called a parotidectomy

I've been having trouble sleeping at night because my adenoids have gotten pretty big, and my nose keeps getting blocked. I'm really hoping to find a way to reduce their size without having to go through surgery. Any advice on what I should do?

Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. Your provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops. Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.

So, this weird thing happens to me twice a year, and I'm kinda worried. Every time I catch a cold, after the first day, I just start salivating A LOT and it doesn't stop. It's like I'm drooling non-stop! I've tried different medications, but nothing seems to work. The drooling just does its thing and goes away after about 3-4 days. Is there something serious going on here? And if there are any meds that can help with this, that would be awesome.

a cold can cause excess salivation, also known as hypersalivation. This is because a cold can lead to nasal congestion, which can cause you to breathe through your mouth more. Breathing through your mouth can make it easier for saliva to escape. if excess salivation is due to cold then treat the cause

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's a bit puzzling. Whenever I move my lower lip to the left side, I feel pain in my ear and right above it. It's a similar kind of pain that I get while chewing, though that's a bit milder. Could this be related to something specific, or is it just normal muscle pain?

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old son. He recently had a BERA test, and the results showed normal waves in his right ear but absent waves in the left. What could this possibly mean? I'm scheduled to see his doctor next week, but the waiting is stressing me out and I'd love to get a second opinion in the meantime. Can you shed some light on this?

Bera test is used for hearing examination can determine the type of abnormality (conductive or sensorineural), severity (hearing threshold), and hearing loss (inner ear or other parts) of the child. and absence of waves can indicate neurological issues in the hearing pathway

I'm really struggling to understand what's going on with my preauricular sinus pit. I've had it since birth on my left ear and for years, it would drain and I'd have to use medications. It stopped leaking around 5 to 10 years ago, but I started dealing with swelling instead, and tried more meds. Then in 2017, it got infected and turned into an abscess, so I went through surgery for an incision and drainage. The surgeon said they removed the entire tract, but I'm still getting swelling that won't heal, even with meds. It's really confusing and frustrating. Given that this seems to be a rare issue, what steps should I take? Who's the best surgeon to reach out to about something like this?

A preauricular sinus, also known as a preauricular pit, cyst, or fissure, is a sinus tract that runs under the skin and starts with a small opening in front of the ear. It's a common congenital malformation that occurs when the ear develops abnormally early in gestation. You should consult a specialist ENT surgeon for confirmation of appropriate treatment if required

I've been experiencing this really odd crackling sound in my ears for over two years now. Whenever I swallow, speak, or even move the muscles in my ears, there's this popping or crisping noise. It started after I went scuba diving and I've also listened to a lot of loud music in the past. I've seen a doctor about it, but they said everything seems fine. I'm just not sure why both my ears still make these sounds. Do you have any thoughts on what it might be? Are there any over-the-counter treatments, herbs, or supplements that could help with this?

I've been experiencing this weird click sensation in my throat whenever I swallow, almost like something is shifting around in there. It's not painful, but there's this constant feeling of something being there, and its seriously annoying, especially when I'm trying to sleep. I have this lingering cough sensation too, but it's mostly just an odd feeling rather than a full cough. I did drink a lot of alcohol for over a year, which I thought might be the cause, but Ive stopped drinking for the last month and a half, yet the problem persists. I've tried looking up stuff on Google but ended up more confused. Any idea what might be going on or how I can get rid of this discomfort?

I'm dealing with acute tonsillitis and have only throat pain, no fever, cold, or cough symptoms. It started on Monday, May 7th. For the first three days, I did saltwater gargles and had ginger honey, but only saw minimal improvement. So, I went to the doctor who prescribed me Zocef 500 to take twice a day. I've been taking it since Thursday, but the recovery has been really slow; today's the third day and I still feel the throat pain. I'm wondering, if I had taken Azithromycin 500 instead, would it have worked faster on the pain and bacterial infection? I've used it before and noticed a quicker recovery. Is Zocef 500 better than Azithromycin 500? If so, why am I still experiencing throat pain after taking 5 tablets?

Ideally it should work,as you say it's not working you can switch to Azithromycin 500 no problem.

I just got my NCCT scan results for the PNS area, and I'm kinda worried. It says there's mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinus and along the walls of my bilateral maxillary sinuses. Also, the posterior air cells of my bilateral ethmoidal sinuses are affected, and the bilateral ostiomeatal units are compromised due to mucosal thickening at the hiatus semilunaris. Should I be concerned about this?

This is a condition called sinusitis,no need to worry just follow your doctors advice ,avoid cool foods and cold weathers there is nothing to worry.

I'm feeling a weird sensation like something's stuck or moving around my throat, from the back of my mouth to my Adam's apple. It's been bothering me for a few days. There's no pain, just this feeling like something's going up and down my throat. It seems to go down when I swallow but then comes back up. Any idea what might be causing this?

There is no such thing to happen that could be normal postnasal drip or so,as it is not bothering you you can neglect it if u feel irritaion or anything visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm a bit worried because during dinner I think a piece of food might've gone down my windpipe. I didn't have a choking fit or anything, but I did feel like at some point the food left my windpipe. Now it's got me wondering because I still feel like there's something stuck in my throat. Breathing and talking are fine, but I keep coughing since it feels like something's in there. Is it possible I might've just coughed it up and swallowed it, and my throat's just irritated?

Yes you are right,that coul be because of irritation nothing else,because windpipe cannot accomodate anything other than air,hence no need to worry,consume warm foods untill you feel better.

I've got ulcers on the roof of my mouth, under my tongue, and I think there's some at the back of my throat on the left side. I've seen three ENT specialists, but none of them have suggested a biopsy. What else can I do or check for?

I got hit pretty hard right across my head and jaw area by my partner on Friday night, and ever since, the spot has been really red, throbbing, and warm. The next day, I felt like I had cotton stuck in my ear. I tried blowing out air while holding my nose, but nothing seems to happen; no air coming out or any whistling noise from my ear. There's been no discharge, but the pain has been constant for two days now. Could this affect my hearing? I'm really worried about what could be causing all of this.

I'm having this issue where clear fluid keeps leaking from my nose whenever I bend down. This has been happening for about a year now, and I can count about 56 drops each time. My ENT thinks it could be a CSF leak and suggested doing some fluid biochemistry, but I'm having trouble collecting enough fluid for the test. Do you think this suspicion makes sense? And how can I get this confirmed? Are there any risks I should be worried about? I haven't had a persistent cold or anything like that, so I'm a bit lost on what I should do next.

I've been dealing with this cough since December 31st. It started with a sore throat and then turned into a cough and later came the colds. The cold has mellowed out now, but this persistent cough is bothering me. It feels like there are tiny hairs or dust particles stuck in my throat, and it's rough and dry, but not much phlegm. I've been taking Mucobron Forte capsules and they help a bit, but the cough's not gone yet and it's been 3 days. Should I keep taking them or maybe switch to Fluimucil? What do you think?
