Pain in my throat an left ear

Male | 35

You may be experiencing an issue related to the ears, nose, or throat. The discomfort in your left ear and throat could signify a throat or ear infection. You may develop ear pain when you have a sore throat. Gargling with warm salt water can relieve the pain caused by a sore throat. Taking enough fluids and having sufficient rest is essential. If the pain persists, make sure you see an ENT specialist immediately so that you can be given the right medication.

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.

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 experiencing symptoms including a runny nose, swollen eyes, ear pressure, sudden sneezing, and occasional breathing problems.

I have tried various anti-allergy medications such as Baydal, Fexet D, Telfast D, and Mytika over the years, but they only provide temporary relief.

Male | 31

It appears you are going through allergic rhinitis, which is responsible for your runny nose, swollen eyes, ear pressure, sneezing, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been persisting for a long time despite trying different medications. The allergy shots that you are receiving may have expired, thus not giving you enough relief. Seek consultation from an allergist to review your treatment plan and consider updating your allergy shots to manage your symptoms effectively.

My left ear has been crackling for a few months now and i got told by a nurse it was blocked and i got my ear syringed two days ago and i was hoping that would stop my ear crackling but it's still crackling after two days since i got my ear syringed is that normal?

Male | 37

Though it's a good thing you got your ear syringed, the ear still crackles which is totally normal. Occasionally, the sensation will last a little while after the procedure. Ear crackling could be the result of the presence of fluid in the middle ear or what is called Eustachian tube dysfunction. Sometimes, you can make yawning or chewing gum movements to relieve the discomfort. If it doesn't get better, see your ENT doctor for more advice.

Vocal nodules are injuries akin to calluses on the vocal cords that can be caused by either overusing your voice or speaking improperly. The result can be a hoarse or unclear voice. Fortunately, the result of the cancer test is negative. A voice therapist, avoiding vocal strain, and the rest of the voice can help you improve your voice.

Why do u loose your voice for no reason

Female | 52

When you lose your voice without any clear reason, it's called laryngitis. Your vocal cords swell up, making you hoarse or quiet. This happens due to loud talking, singing, or catching a cold. To recover quickly, avoid talking much, sip warm drinks often, and inhale steam. Within a week, your voice should return to normal.

You're dealing with a throat infection, along with swelling, weight loss, fatigue, and difficulty swallowing. These symptoms could stem from infections, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances. It's important to follow up with an ENT specialist for a proper checkup and treatment. In the meantime, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, avoid smoking and hot food, and eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables to support your immune system.

It sounds like you have a possible ear infection, which is common with flu. Green mucus suggests a bacterial infection. It's best to see an ENT specialist to get the right treatment. Do not delay, as ear infections can worsen.

You are suffering from pain in the right ear. According to your explanation, it is clear that the medications you have used so far have been ineffective. Ear pain can be classified by several causes such as ear infection or inflammation. Since the pain doesn't go away with the use of your medications, you must seek the advice of an ENT specialist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Fever and cold nose water drop

Female | 20

If you have a fever and you have a cold nose, these are signs of a viral infection. Fever, a runny nose, cough, or fatigue are commonly experienced symptoms. They are also the usual way your body reacts to fighting off an illness. To allow you to relax there is enough support at home. The rest is taking care of yourself, keeping you hydrated and you might need fever and congestion relief over-the-counter medications. Many cases are resolved on their own; however, if your symptoms are not gone in several days or they are getting worse, then the best thing to do is to consult a doctor who will be able to give you proper advice. Your health is of primary importance, thus you should be quick to obtain help.

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.

A sore throat, stuffy ears, cough, and frequent nose blowing suggest you have a common cold or viral infection. These result from your body battling the virus.

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.

पुरुष | 22

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.

If I look inside my nose in the mirror with flash on the pink fleshy part is really close together in each nostril. Does this mean enlarged turbinates? And does it go away on its own? I woke up with a blocked nose 2 days ago randomly and my nose has been feeling congested since. If I close my mouth I can’t breathe through my nose. If I blow air out of my nostrils I can only feel it coming out of one nostril and it alternates between each nostril. I was able to breathe normally with my mouth completely closed just 2 days ago. How can I fix this? There is some mucus but not a lot.

Female | 25

The pink fleshy parts you see are likely normal structures, but they may appear enlarged during congestion. This condition can improve over time. To alleviate symptoms, try using saline nasal sprays, staying hydrated, and inhaling steam. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeing a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation is a good idea to rule out any underlying issues and receive appropriate treatment.

OME stands for Otitis Media with Effusion. It causes the middle ear to become filled with fluids. It usually follows a cold, and in most cases, does not result in complete deafness. If the hearing loss is rapid and strong, it can be something else. You need to consult an ENT specialist for more tests.
