Hi doctor I have nasal drip from last two months and not getting well and i am allergic to cocunut and have sometimes green mucus coming from mouth sometimes why
Male | 14
Lingering nasal drips have mucus flowing down your throat's back constantly. Green mucus often signifies an infection. Being allergic to coconut might irritate and worsen this issue. To relieve symptoms, use saline nasal sprays and stay hydrated well. If it doesn't get better, consider consult an allergist/ ENT specilaist who can help further.

I have a sore throat and difficulty swallowing
Male | 24
The common cold, flu, or an infection could be responsible for these. Resting, drinking plenty of fluids such as warm teas or soups, and gargling with warm salt water are the best things to do. Eating soft foods and avoiding spicy or acidic foods can also help. If it's getting worse or not getting better after a few days, it's important to let your body rest and recover.

Mere Kan band hai mujhe awaaz nahin a Rahi

You seem to have a hearing problem caused by the sensation of blockage in the ears. This is the result of earwax that has built up and caused the ear canal to be blocked. Don't use cotton swabs that may push the wax deeper in. Rather, opt for eardrops that can dissolve the wax and allow it to come out naturally. If the issue endures, get an ENT specialist to look at it.

My brother is having a chaterize procedure today but he notice that his right ear is bleeding not much
Male | 59
Bleeding a bit after getting your ears chaterized isn't rare. You may experience swelling or irritation in the ear canal, which leads to this. If bleeding is light and doesn't happen often, it should stop on its own. Use a damp cloth to gently clean around the ear, but don't put anything inside. Contact an ENT specialist immediately if bleeding persists or worsens.

Female | 18
You likely scratched your throat, leading to discomfort. The object may have scratched or caused swelling in your throat area. Throat pain can sometimes radiate toward the ear region. Staying hydrated by consuming ample water aids in soothing the throat discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, seeking medical attention becomes advisable.

I am 30 years old, I am facing nose dryness in summer season and also lesion, blockage, soreness in the morning. What can be the cause and what can be done to fix it?
Male | 30
You might have allergic rhinitis. That's a fancy phrase for nose allergies. Your body reacts to stuff like pollen, pet hair, and dust mites. To ease symptoms, use a room humidifier for moisture. Drink lots of water too. Saline nose sprays can relieve dryness. If home remedies don't work, see an allergy doctor. They'll help find the cause and treatment for you.

So I have really bad allergies and I think I might have a sinus infection. My snot is bright yellow, sometimes clear, and very slimy. However, sometimes I'll see a little bright green sticky booger but it's mostly just bright yellow and clear. My throat has been sore and I can't smell what do you think?
Female | 16
It seems like you might have a sinus infection, which is when your sinuses become swollen and filled with mucus. Yellow or green snot is a sign of infection. Additionally, a sore throat and difficulty smelling could indicate a problem with your sinuses. To help yourself feel better, try using a saline nasal rinse and drink plenty of water. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve, consult a ENT specialist, they can offer more assistance.

Throught swelling and cold fever also
Male | 24
Throat swelling with a cold fever can mean your body is fighting an infection. These symptoms may consist of a sore throat, trouble swallowing, and being tired. Usually, it is caused by viruses, such as the flu. Warm fluids, resting, and perhaps the use of lozenges may be beneficial. If the symptoms are getting worse or persisting for a long time, it is better to consult an ENT specialist to check for any complications.

A benign parotid gland tumor refers to a non-cancerous growth in a salivary gland located at the side of your ear. Symptoms may include a bulge in the cheek or jaw area. In most cases, surgery is the primary method of dealing with the tumor. In most cases, the recovery time can be a bit longer than a few weeks. Adhering to your doctor's instructions post-surgery is essential for proper recovery.

Dear Sir / Ma'am Pain in the throat whenever i wake up in the morning.mouth taste is also bitter .Sometimes blood also comes.
Male | 30
Pain in the throat and a bitter taste in the mouth can be signs of an underlying infection, such as a throat infection or tonsillitis. It is also possible that the symptoms are due to other causes, such as acid reflux or allergies. If you experience this symptom on a regular basis, it would be best to consult with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Your doctor may suggest further tests, such as blood tests, throat swabs, or imaging tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.

Feel like something stuck in throat
Female | 22
Something stuck in your throat can happen for many reasons. Swollen tonsils, drip from the nose, or stomach acid can cause it. You might have trouble swallowing, a sore throat, and coughing. Drink lots of water. Gargle with salt in warm water. Eat soft foods. But if it doesn't go away, see an ENT specialist.

मुझे नाक मैं प्रोब्लम है मेरा नाक अंदर से बंद है उसमे फोड़ा जैसा कुछ है
Male | 17
Your stuffy nose and lump point to an infection. Viruses, and bacteria, get in your nose, leading to these symptoms. Pain or swelling could accompany it too. Stay hydrated, get some rest, and use saline spray - this might help clear things up. But if it sticks around, you may need to talk to an ENT specialist.

I have ear aches but not sure what it could be causing it
Female | 17
A few different things can cause earaches. Sometimes it is an infection such as one in the ear canal or middle ear where bacteria or viruses have entered. Another cause may be too much ear wax or changes in air pressure. You may find relief by using warm compresses, taking over-the-counter pain medication, and resting. You should see an ENT specialist if your condition doesn’t improve after a few days or get worse.

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?
Female | 26
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.

Tinnitus and continue headache
Male | 37
Tinnitus makes you hear noises when there isn't one nearby. A constant headache combined with buzzing sounds could signal stress or loud noise exposure. High blood pressure could also cause it. Relax, avoid loud noises, get plenty of rest. If it persists, see an ENT specialist to identify any other reasons.

I'm facing ear blocking issue can u please suggest cure
Female | 25
You feel like your ear is blocked, perhaps from wax buildup. It also occurs with sinus infections or altitude shifts during travel. Try ear drops first to loosen the wax, and tilt your head to drain it. If the blockage persists, see a doctor for an exam. Earwax often causes this issue, but sinus problems and altitude changes can too. Over-the-counter ear drops may clear wax buildup. Gently tilt your head after using drops, allowing drainage. However, if discomfort continues, visit an ENT specialist.
