What could cause gland enlargement and lymph node swelling?
I am a 39 year old man. I have a increased gland beneath my left ear which is not painful but causes some pressing sensation in the inside of my mouth. My ultrasound detected a few enlarged and few subcentimeter cervical lymphnodes.

It sounds like you may be experiencing swelling in your salivary gland and some enlarged lymph nodes in your neck. These could be due to various reasons, including infection or inflammation. It's important to consult an ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

Why do I hear voices in one side of my head for three years?
I feel some voice in one side of my head and some time in both side from three years
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 15th May '24
It may sound like you're experiencing a symptom known as tinnitus, which manifests as the perception of ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sounds in the head, and can occur in one or both ears. Tinnitus can be related to factors such as age, exposure to loud noises, or ear infections. Coping strategies for tinnitus include reducing exposure to loud sounds, managing stress, and ensuring adequate sleep. However, since your symptoms involve hearing voices specifically on one side or both sides of your head, it's advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Why am I producing clear mucus for 6 months?
Ever since I was diagnosed with allergies rhinitis I can't stop producing clear mucus and Iits been six months
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 14th May '24
It is caused when the body is fighting off allergens, such as dust and pollen, in the nasal passages. This kind of disease is seasonal and it may become severe if not controlled. Employing saltwater nasal sprays, keeping away from various triggers like dust, and staying hydrated can reduce the production of the excreted mucus.

Should I be concerned about persistent nosebleeds?
It was cold. Blood is coming out of the nose. Even spit. It's been 2 days
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 13th May '24
Nosebleeds can happen because the air is dry or if you sneeze a lot. If you are spitting blood with a bleeding nose, it might be from the back of your nose. Sit straight up, pinch your nose, and breathe through your mouth. If it doesn’t stop, get help from an ENT specialist.

Suppose one has a sound playing inside their ear for two years, that might be tinnitus. Tinnitus is a condition where you hear ringing or buzzing or any other sound in your ear that is not caused by any external noise source. It could result from exposure to loud noise, and ear infections among other causes such as stress. A visit to an ENT specialist is necessary to find the cause and consequently receive appropriate treatment.

Why Do I Have Hissing in One Ear?
Hello I’ve been having some hissing in one ear
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 7th May '24
If you hear a hissing noise in one ear, you may have tinnitus. It is a condition where you hear sounds like ringing, buzzing, or hissing without any outside noise making the sound. Tinnitus can happen for a few reasons. Very loud sounds can cause it. An ear infection might too. Or if you are very stressed, tinnitus can start. Try to avoid loud places and sounds. Find ways to feel calm and relaxed. But you should also go see an ENT specialist. They can check your ears and help figure out the best way to make the hissing stop.

General Physician
Answered on 7th May '24
Unilateral nasal obstruction or one-sided stuffed nose is another name for this type of blockage. Allergies, infections such as sinusitis, and even the common cold can result in this. Additionally, other symptoms may include sneezing, a runny nose, and difficulty breathing. To help clear the blockage, you can use over-the-counter decongestants, saline nasal sprays, or a humidifier. If there is no improvement after a few days see an ENT specialist.

You may have chronic sinusitis. This is when your sinuses become swollen or inflamed. Breathing through your nose could become difficult because of this. Using nose drops gives temporary relief; however, they might not be helpful in the long run as the body would be used to them. It’s important to find out what causes these before suggesting remedies for them. Visit an ENT Specialist for more insight into the matter.

Is Sinus Surgery Necessary for Deformed Nose Bone?
Hi, recently I was diagnosed with Sinuses. Doctor suggests surgery because nose bone is deformed. Is surgery necessary or it will be treated by medicine.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 6th May '24
Are headaches, stuffy nose, or breathing problems telling you that something may be wrong with your nose bone? If so, you could be suffering from a deviated septum that requires surgery to fix it. Sometimes fixing the bone can relieve symptoms. When none of these treatments help, doctors will recommend an operation on what is blocking your airway.

What should I do for cough?
If we have cough in our neck what to do
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 3rd May '24
If you have been feeling like something is tickling or causing discomfort in your throat, it could be an irritation on your throat. This irritation is usually caused by a common cold, allergies, or food particles getting stuck in the back of the mouth and then traveling down into the esophagus. Other symptoms may include a dry cough without phlegm production; hoarseness (speaking with difficulty in voice due to swelling); or pain when swallowing. If any of them persists too long or worsens over time then visit an ENT specialist.

According to your statement, I think that you have a swollen lymph node because you have an ear infection. It is better to consult an ENT specialist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

A buildup behind your eardrum might cause the noise. Your ear and jaw ache may relate to this otitis media (middle ear infection). Antibiotics aid, but seeing an ENT specialist for assessment and care is wise. They'll determine if fluid accumulates, resulting in the symptoms you describe.

How can I unblock my ears at home?
I am 26 years old female. My two ears have been blocked for over three weeks and there are no signs it would open. What should I do to get it open?
Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 29th Apr '24
Earwax buildup often causes this. Hardened wax clogs the ear canal, making you feel full or hear less. Use over-the-counter ear drops to soften wax. Gently flush ears with warm water using a bulb syringe. If this doesn't work, see an ENT specialist for evaluation and treatment.

How can I treat earwax buildup at home?
I cant hear properly for last 7 days (left ear) I think, its because of heavy ear wax. I once had this problem. So i guessed it. Now what should i do?
Dr. Babita Goel

Ear wax buildup blocks sound. That could explain hearing trouble. You hear worse in one ear. Also, ear fullness, and discomfort too. Try ear drops first, and soften the wax. If that doesn't work, see an ENT specialist. They can remove the wax safely.
