I was using airdopes from past one year .I m facing problem now . Sometime i found difficulty in talking my voice doesn't clear

Female | 19

Your vocal cords seem irritated, resulting in hoarseness. Prolonged airdope usage could be the culprit. To recover, rest your voice completely. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid whispering or raising your voice. If it persists, take a break from airdopes, letting your vocal cords heal. Consult an ENT doctor if the issue continues.

There could be a few reasons for trouble hearing. It could be due to a buildup of earwax, an ear infection, or even age-related hearing loss.

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.

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.

Male | 25

You are probably having some side effects from Candid ear drops. The burning sensation and the ear blockage that happened repeatedly could be caused by an allergic reaction or irritation from the drops. It is important to stop using the drops and avoid putting anything else in your ear. Get the right treatment from an ENT doctor and ensure that your ear heals properly.

My back forehead is pulling by force all of my head towards it also stiff neck on left side and confusion...I have severe sinusitis and large antrochaoanal polyps in my left side nose and continuous nasal congestion of yellow discharge and white colour lastly there

Male | 30

The symptoms that you mentioned such as the pressure in your forehead, stiff neck, and confusion could be due to severe sinusitis and polyps on the left nostril. The presence of the discharge of yellow and white, as well as the nasal congestion, is a clear indication of a sinus problem. Medication such as sinus sprays, antibiotics, or surgery mainly to clear the polyps is used. You had better consult an ENT specialist who will provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the proper treatment for you.

Sir namskar I am 27 year old. I have a problem in my nose when I ct scan that it comes polypoidal mucosal thickening noted in bilateral maxillary sinuses. Is it a cancer simtom.because it was bleeding max days 10 to 15 years

Female | 27

At your age, polypoidal mucosal thickening in the maxillary sinuses is usually not a sign of cancer. It often indicates chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps. However, because you mentioned bleeding for many years, it's important to consult an ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation and proper treatment.

In ear dry skin flakes comes from ear,,and ear repeatedly block,,,I do valsava,,,it's open but again blocked,,,after some times,,what to do,,,,,,,

Male | 24

You are going through some issues with dry skin flakes coming out of your ears and having the feeling of your ear blocking up, even after you have been trying the Valsalva technique. This can happen when the skin in your ear canal gets irritated and sheds the flakes, which subsequently results in a blockage. You can try a gentle ear-cleaning solution to keep your ear clean and moist. If this issue keeps on persisting, you should visit an ENT doctor for more diagnostics.

Male | 41

Please continue on the steroids as they are the only way to provide some stimulus to the hearing nerve in this situation. There are other medications that can be given to increase blood supply to the nerve but the best chance of nerve recovery is within the first one or two days after which the chances are unpredictable and low in most cases. Please take a follow up consult your ENT surgeon as they will keep a close watch on improvement in the nerve which usually isn't something you will be able to perceive by yourself. You need to have repeat hearing testings to watch for improvement. In all cases, do not stop the steroid abruptly!

I am having throat pain(itchy type) along with ear pain for three weeks. I have taken normal antibiotics but is not working

Male | 37

You likely have a throat infection along with ear pain. The antibiotics you refused might not have helped if it's a viral infection since antibiotics only work on bacterial infections. Throat infections can be caused by viruses like the common cold. Resting your voice, drinking warm liquids, and using throat lozenges can help. If the discomfort continues, seeing a doctor is the best choice.

My ear has had weird pressure changes over the last year and has random drainage. When I clean it out, it’s always dark brown/goopy and smells really bad. Today I just pulled out a big glob of something blueish/gray and thought it was a bug. What should I do?

Male | 26

You might have an infection in your ear, which is causing the weird variations in pressure, dark brown/goopy drainage, bad smell, and the blueish/grey glob you found. It's called otitis externa. It's important to see an Ent specialist doctor on time to get the right medications. Refrain from inserting anything inside your ear or getting it wet.

I am breast feeding a baby. For last few days i have pain in thorat and fever. I have taken erthyromycin 4 times in 2 days but its not working. Kindly siggest medicine which for throat pain ,fever which is safe during breast feeding

Female | 28

You likely have an infection in your throat, resulting in pain and fever. Since erythromycin didn't help, take acetaminophen to reduce fever, and Tylenol for throat discomfort. These medications are safe during breastfeeding. Drink plenty of fluids. Rest sufficiently. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist, for further evaluation.
