Diagnostic Tests And Medications: The diagnostic tests cost and medications may vary according to the patient's condition and differ from hospital to hospital.

Post-Procedure Cochlear Implant Surgery Care

After your cochlear implant surgery, here is some post-procedure care to keep in mind:

● To recover faster, get enough sleep and rest as much as possible. Patients take up to 3 to 6 weeks to recover completely.

● Take some walks every day, depending on your stamina and health. Start by little and gradually increase the duration each day. Walking increases blood flow and prevents conditions like constipation and pneumonia.

● Avoid exerting activities until 4-6 weeks like running, weight lifting, aerobic exercises, jogging, biking, or bicycle riding.

● Avoid bending and sudden head movements for the first 2-3 days after your surgery.

● After you remove your bandage, keep the treated area dry and clean. You can wash the area with slightly warm water daily and then dry it.

I am 32 year boy meri nakh me andar masse ho gye hai uske liye puchna tha sir....

पुरुष | 32

Your symptoms indicate that there may be some granules or mass in your nose, which may be caused by various causes such as allergy or sinusitis. They can cause you to have pain, a blocked nose or difficulty in breathing. To get a solution, you can use a spray that will open the nostrils or a saline rinse. However, it is best to see a doctor first so that he/she can diagnose your situation correctly and give the best treatment. Your health is important and taking professional help is always a good idea.

I am 23 years old. I frequently suffer from cold and feel itching in my ear and throat a lot from 4-5 years

Female | 23

Your symptoms seem to suggest that you have allergies. Different symptoms including a runny nose, sore throat, and an itchy ear can characterize allergies. Dust, pollen, or keeping pets are the causes of these symptoms. It is important to keep your surroundings clean, use air filters, and take over-the-counter medication for allergies. Stay away from strong scents and consult your doctor for other treatment alternatives.

I am a 15 year old male and for the past 2 or 3 days I have had pain in my left semi-outwards upper ear. It feels sort-of like a bump and doesn't constantly hurt but hurts more if moved or touched (finger, airpod, etc.). It's not a sharp pain or anything, it has been more of a pressure-like pain at times. It's right below the surface and not in my inner ear. What might this be?

Male | 15

You may have an external ear infection, commonly known as “swimmer’s ear.” Signs and symptoms of it could be pain, which may worsen when touching the outside of the ear or tugging on the earlobe, as well as a sensation that your ear is full inside. Water trapped in the ear or skin irritation can cause this infection. You could help yourself feel better by trying to keep your ears dry and taking nonprescription pain relievers. However, if the pain doesn’t go away or becomes severe, you should see a ENT specialist.

Am a 27 Y/O female. I got a cold about 2 weeks ago and I’m having a hard time getting over it. I still have wheezing, a wet cough, extreme fatigue, and phlegm, but my main issue is that my ear became very “stuffy” and it felt like there was fluid In Them. I wake up with drainage, and they pop often. I have pictures of my inner ear to share for more detail. I had tubes when I was young, and I had a very traumatic accident happen while they were in place, and my ears have been a pain ever since. I get extremely painful pressure when I fly to the point where I cry the whole flight if I don’t have my special ear plugs. And heaven forbid I get an ear infection. I cry anytime I have to put In ear drops

Female | 27

Oh i'm so sorry to hear your symptoms. It sounds like there is a lot going on in the ear canal and the tube connecting the ear to the nose which we call- The eustachian tube. Please visit your nearest ent who will do an endoscopy of the ear, get the hearing and e tube function evaluation and assess for chronic issues to ensure it doesn't get worse with time.

My nasal allergy flares up every few days and it irritates me 24 hours a day. Taking setzine tablets makes it go away. But I want it to go away permanently. So what should I do?

Male | 36

It's great that Setzine is helping you manage your symptoms, but for a more permanent solution, it's important to identify and avoid the triggers causing your nasal allergy. You might benefit from consulting an ENT specialist who can assess your condition, suggest allergy testing, and recommend appropriate treatments like immunotherapy or lifestyle changes.

CT PNS Findings: - Mucus retention cysts in the left maxillary sinus (14x12mm). No bone erosion. - Mucosal thickening in ethmoid sinuses. Mild DNS (deviated nasal septum) towards the right side. - Cribriform plates of ethmoid and bilateral osteomeatal complexes are normal. - Mastoids are pneumatized. - Orbit and retro-orbital spaces are normal. - No bone lesion seen. Impression: - Left Maxillary sinus mucus retention cysts. - Mild ethmoid sinusitis.

Female | 39

After looking at your CT scan results, it seems like you've got a mucus retention cyst in your left maxillary sinus and some mild inflammation in your ethmoid sinuses. These things can happen when your sinuses get a bit blocked, causing mucus to build up and form cysts. It's quite common, nothing to worry too much about. To help ease the symptoms, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep things clear. If you're having trouble with congestion or pain, over-the-counter decongestants or pain relievers can be helpful. It might be a good idea to follow up with your orthopedist just to keep an eye on things and see if any further treatment is needed.

i have a ear ache on my right ear after lying on my right side for too long with headphones.

Female | 13

Having headphones on while lying on your side for long periods can cause pain in your ear. This happens due to pressure and friction in the ear canal. To ease earache symptoms, take breaks from wearing headphones frequently. Apply a warm compress to the affected ear. Avoid sleeping on that side until the pain goes away. If discomfort continues, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist.

You could have a common cold. Sore throat, headache, cough, and nasal drainage - these symptoms fit for a common cold. Dry nose too, is a common sign. Colds are viral. They usually resolve within a week or two on their own. To ease symptoms, get rest, stay hydrated, and try over-the-counter remedies for relief.

Throat pain in 2 days help me to solve this issue

Male | 23

Throat discomfort can arise from various factors such as viral infections, allergies, or irritation from smoke and pollutants. Common signs include soreness, difficulty swallowing, or a scratchy sensation. For relief, try warm salt water gargles, staying hydrated, and using throat lozenges. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can also help. If symptoms persist or worsen after a couple of days, please consider visiting a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice and evaluate any underlying issues.

Male | 32

Persistent whistle in your left ear may be related to fluid or sensitivity following hydrogen peroxide exposure. While it's reassuring that your eardrum is intact, this sound could come from issues like Eustachian tube dysfunction or residual earwax. It’s important to stay in touch with your ENT specialist, as they can provide targeted treatments or further evaluations if necessary. In the meantime, try avoiding irritating substances and keep your ears dry.

Female | 21

It might be helpful to know that the pain you feel in the ear and neck might have been caused by an infection in the ear or neck muscles that are too tight. Additionally, pain gets even worse when a person is stressed sometimes. Try to take some time off your studies and relax, use a warm cloth or over-the-counter painkillers may relieve this pain. Ensure you get enough sleep too. If this continue, please consult an ENT specialist.

Male | 21

Very often the bloody nose is caused by some things i.e. dry air, allergies, infections, and high blood pressure. In different scenarios, anemia may bear a more long-term consequence including blood disorders or even tumors. You are advised to see an otolaryngologist for a thorough examination as well as opt for the recommended treatment.

Sore throat, cough not coming, runny nose, tronsil swelling

Male | 26

These symptoms could be due to a viral infection like a cold or the flu. Sometimes, even allergies can cause similar issues. It's common for a cough to lag behind other symptoms, so don't worry too much about that just yet. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and try using a humidifier to ease your throat. If things don't improve or if you develop a fever, it's a good idea to check in with a physician just to be safe.

I have some undescriable thing on my ear since I was 10 years old

Female | 20

The undescriable THING on your ear could be a cyst.. Cysts can appear at any age, and they are usually benign. However, you should consult a doctor to confirm the diagnosis. The doctor MAY recommend removing the cyst if it grows or becomes painful.. Try not to irritate the cyst by rubbing or scratching it. Keep the area clean and dry.. Don't worry;; the cyst is likely not a serious health concern..

Male | 33 years

It appears that you have a prolonged sore throat which may be due to hidden factors such as allergies, post-nasal drip, or even acid reflux. Therefore, it is possible to feel discomfort if speaking for a long time. You can reduce the symptoms by keeping your fluid intake high and by using a humidifier in the case of dry environments. Patients should also use Throat lozenges. On the other hand, since this is a recurring issue over many years, I very strongly suggest speaking with a healthcare professional.

I went to a ENT specialist last week who removed some earwax plug from my right ear. Since last week my ear feels itchy inside sometimes, whenever I start being active with it (moving it or touching it with my finger). What can be the cause ? Probably not earwax as I went to the doctor last week.

Male | 31

The ear getting treated for wax buildup is fantastic news! However, itchiness in the ear canal post-procedure may occur. This results from skin irritation caused by disturbance during cleaning. Don't insert objects or scratch inside your ear. This discomfort should subside naturally. But if symptoms worsen, consult your ENT specialist immediately.
