Questions & Answers on "Ent Surgery" (324)

Their is a growth of muscle inside my nose as a result I can't breath, used 4 bottles of otrivin but after few hours but nose blocks again

Female | 19

Breathing difficulties suggest a nasal polyp, a tissue growth blocking nasal passages. Symptoms include laboured breathing, temporary relief from nasal sprays, and persistent blockage. Visiting an ENT specialist is advisable for diagnosis and suitable treatment options.

Got a genuine question, been having frequent nosebleeds ( around 12 times in 14 days) and was wondering on what could be the cause or what it could mean

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.

I am suffering from nasal allergy for 3 years.It goes away after taking medicine.But it comes back again.Want to get rid of it completely.What to do?

Male | 36

Nasal allergies can bring along to you some symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. They are mostly caused by things such as dust, pollen, or pet dander. To help you get rid of your allergies entirely, you can first try to avoid triggers as much as possible, keep your living space clean, and consider discussing allergy shots with an allergist to help your body build up a tolerance to the allergens over time.

Dear Doctor, I'm an 18-year-old male. About 15-16 days ago, I had a really bad cold with symptoms including a sore throat, headache, and fever. After 7-8 days, my cold symptoms healed, but I still had a sore throat, hoarse voice, a completely blocked right ear, and I was constantly coughing up green mucus. Four days ago, I visited a doctor and was prescribed moxifloxacin 400mg once a day for 5 days (today is day 3). While my coughing has generally decreased, I still have a sore throat and my right ear is still blocked, although it did briefly open for a few minutes yesterday. This has been ongoing for three weeks, and I'm starting to lose hope as I'm not sure what I have or if I'll get better. In addition to moxifloxacin, here are the other medications I'm currently taking: Nasacort AQ (once a day) - today is day 6 Phenadone (twice a day) - today is day 8 Nexium (once a day) - today is day 6 Ganaton (three times a day) - today is day 6 Seretide Accuhaler Diskus (twice a day) - today is day 8 Polymer Adult Hypertonic 3% (twice a day) - today is day 3 Could you please help me understand what might be causing these persistent symptoms and advise on any further steps I should take? Thank you for your assistance.

When someone coughs up green phlegm, that means they have an infection. Your condition may be because of a stubborn bacterial infection which will need more time to completely clear up. Take your medicine as prescribed and ensure you finish the full course of antibiotics. If your symptoms continue or get worse then I think it’d be wise for you to go to an ENT specialist so they can conduct further tests on you.

Hello Doctor, I had a mild throat infection since yesterday. After taking a long bath, one of my ears got blocked. I have mild ear pain and reduced (not complete) hearing in that ear. A medical store gave ear drops containing paradichlorobenzene, benzocaine, chlorbutol and turpentine oil, and I used 2 drops once by mistake. Is it safe to continue this ear drop in my condition? If not, what is the correct treatment or alternative I should follow?

Female | 21

When your ear gets blocked after a bath, it could be due to some water or wax getting stuck in there, causing discomfort and reduced hearing. The ear drops you used contain some ingredients that help with ear issues, but using them without guidance can sometimes lead to irritation. Since you've accidentally used them, it's best to stop for now. I recommend seeing an ENT specialist who can check your ear properly and suggest the right treatment. In the meantime, you can try gently tilting your head to let the ear drain naturally.

Mere Kan band hai mujhe awaaz nahin a Rahi

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.

Hello, good morning. May i ask if what is the medicine for an aching ear inside? thanks

Male | 63

Ear pain can be caused by various things like an ear infection, fluid buildup, or even earwax blockage. It's essential to have it checked by an ENT specialist to determine the exact cause. In fact, using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help manage the discomfort temporarily. However, I recommend scheduling a visit with an ear, nose, and throat specialist for a thorough evaluation. They can prescribe the appropriate treatment, which may include ear drops, antibiotics, or other medications based on the diagnosis.

Male | 37

After your sinus surgery, you may have to use nasal spray. The spray could help with swelling and dryness in your nose. You might feel stuffy, under pressure, or congested after surgery. Taking the spray like your doctor says can aid these symptoms. It also helps your nose heal. Make sure to follow the doctor's directions.

Agar aapko aisa mehsoos ho raha hai ki kuch atak gaya hai, toh yeh kuch karan ho sakte hain, jaise anxiety, muscle tension, ya phir digestive problems. Is tarah ke symptoms aksar stress ya khane ki samasyaon se hote hain. Aapko kuch relaxation techniques try karne chahiye, jaise deep breathing ya halka walk karna.

First of all, I woke up with a weird feeling in my mouth. My saliva was extremely dry…I had to try take water but then I realized something shocking. It was initially tough to swallow my saliva like I had a sore throat but that wasn’t it. I felt my uvula come towards my tongue when I tried to gag. I checked the mirror and saw that my uvula got very long just overnight

Male | 24

Uvulitis is when your uvula swells up. The uvula hangs at the back of your throat. Infections, allergies, or snoring while asleep can cause it. You might feel something in your throat. Swallowing may be difficult, and your throat might hurt. Drinking lots of water helps. Gargling warm saltwater soothes. If symptoms don't go away, see an ENT specialist.

Hello, I'm 20 years old and my voice stopped developing around 16, so I speak in a high voice for my age. When I speak quietly, it's fine, but when I have to speak more loudly, the voice is very unpleasant for me and those around me. Since I'm about to do a job that requires a normal voice, I need to sort this out. I visited the ENT and she checked my vocal cords. The doctor said that the vocal cords are completely healthy and I should try different voice exercises. So since then, I try to speak in the lowest possible voice in public and at every opportunity, but no change is manifested. I've also found that I've been developing a second voice for several years now that sounds male to me. But I can't talk to him automatically, and when I try, it gets annoying after a while. What can I do?

mužský | 20

Your vocal cords appear okay, but you face a voice challenge. Voices sometimes change uncomfortably or unusually. The high pitch and second male-like tone could result from vocal habits or muscle tension. A speech therapist specializing in voice disorders can help. They'll give exercises and techniques to find a more natural, comfortable voice.

Why I have Partial hearing loss from my left ear and when I apply pressure by closing my nose , mouth, air come out from my ear

Male | 26

The Eustachian tube is a little passage. It links your middle ear to your nose's back area. This tube can get blocked, causing partial hearing loss in that ear. When you close your mouth and nose, air might come out of your ear if you apply pressure. To help open the Eustachian tube, try yawning or chewing gum. If this issue persists, it's wise to see an ENT doctor.

My uvula has elongated into my throat after I woke up from sleep this morning about 2hrs ago. It's making swallowing a bit unconfortable. My breathing is fine for now and it's not painful for now. I've gargled with salty warm water.

Male | 29

Concerns about an elongated uvula are understandable and can be caused by factors such as dehydration, allergies, or inflammation. Considering you are merely feeling a little weirdness while swallowing but breathing is okay, it may not be a life-threatening event. Saltwater gargling is the first step to getting relief. Alongside that, drinking water is just as important. When things get worse, or you face such a problem as shortness of breath, and increased pain, please consult an ENT specialist.

I have stuffy and runny nose since 3 weeks, have been using decongestants that provided some relief, but since last 3 days it is worse, continues runny nose all day, at the same time the nose is stuffy and heavy. Mucus from runny nose is mostly clear. In the morning I might cough out some yellow mucus.

Female | 37

You may have sinusitis or a sinus infection. Stuffy and runny nose with clear mucus are common symptoms of sinusitis. The yellow mucus that you cough up in the morning is a sign that it may be bacterial. To relieve congestion, try applying a warm compress across your face and seek medical attention for further assessment.
