This could be because of a swollen gland or infection. You should see an ENT specialist immediately so they can examine it; they might prescribe antibiotics for treatment or conduct more tests to determine the cause.

Male | 35

Pressure in your left ear can be due to various reasons, like ear infections or changes in air pressure. Talking more usually doesn’t cause ear problems. However, it's important to protect your hearing by avoiding loud noises. If you have concerns or experience discomfort, it's okay to live with one ear, but do consult an ENT specialist if needed.

I'm having nasal congestion, and there is swelling on septum wall deep in nose become of allergy

Male | 24

You appear to be coping with nasal congestion and your nose is swollen due to allergies. A situation when your body reacts to things like pollen and dust may cause your nose to feel stuffy, while the inside of your nose may get swollen. This may block the airways, thus making it difficult to breathe. You can try saline nasal spray to clear your nose and avoid things that trigger your allergies. If it continues, you should visit an allergist who will assist you in finding a suitable treatment for your allergies.

Female | 18

You may have dryness in your mouth and throat, causing your throat to dry. This may happen when you are not drinking enough fluids or if the air around you is too dry. To alleviate this issue, ensure you drink plenty of water and use a humidifier in the bedroom where possible. Additionally, sucking on sugarless candies can help stimulate saliva production. However, if these suggestions do not provide relief, consider seeking help from an ENT specialist.

I have ichy and dry throat for 2 weeks. What I need to do?

Female | 51

Having an itchy, dry throat can be annoying, especially if it’s been going on for two weeks. It could be caused by allergies, a virus, or even dry air. You might feel a scratchy sensation when swallowing or talking, and you might also experience coughing or a hoarse voice. To soothe your throat, drink plenty of water, use a humidifier, and suck on lozenges. If it doesn’t get better, have it checked by an ENT specialist.

Good evening. I had a sore throat on Thursday. The next two days I had no symptoms except Sunday and then I have a mild headache that worsens with vigorous movements and weakened mucus. It is accompanied by green mucus and fevers (mainly in the afternoon for the last two days) ranging from 36.9°C to 37.7°C. Can you tell me what to do to deal with it and what are the possible causes as I am worried? Thanks!"

Male | 15

You have a sore throat, headache, green mucus, and fevers. These symptoms can belong to the respiratory infection and can be treated with antibiotic rest and a lot of fluids. It's necessary to stay hydrated, sleep properly, and think about using a humidifier. If symptoms continue, it's a good idea to visit an ENT doctor.

I am 25 years old and I am suffering from problems with both my ears since childhood. I have got my left ear operated twice, once in GTB Hospital and once in I Shroff Charity Hospital, but due to this my hearing ability has become less.

Female | 25

You’ve had a rough time with your left ear. If the operations didn’t fully work and now your hearing is not as good, it could be due to damage or complications from the surgeries. I recommend seeing an ENT specialist for a detailed evaluation and possible solutions to improve your hearing.

Female | 17

It's understandable to feel concerned about the sensation in your throat and the pressure you're experiencing. These symptoms can arise from anxiety, muscle tension, or postural issues. Thick saliva and neck discomfort may contribute to this sensation as well. Staying hydrated and practicing relaxation techniques could help alleviate discomfort. However, since these symptoms are persistent and impacting your daily life, it’s advisable to consult a physician. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored advice, ensuring you're supported and informed.

Male | 18

You may have an acute tonsillitis infection. When the tonsils become infected with viruses or bacteria this frequently occurs. The fever and headache you experienced are common symptoms of this condition. Since taking medication has not helped, it is necessary to get a proper diagnosis from an ENT specialist. This will enable them to prescribe stronger antibiotics which should make you feel well. Do not forget to drink plenty of water and have enough bed rest.

I feel some voice in one side of my head and some time in both side from three years

Male | 28

It may sound like you're experiencing a symptom known as tinnitus, which manifests as the perception of ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sounds in the head, and can occur in one or both ears. Tinnitus can be related to factors such as age, exposure to loud noises, or ear infections. Coping strategies for tinnitus include reducing exposure to loud sounds, managing stress, and ensuring adequate sleep. However, since your symptoms involve hearing voices specifically on one side or both sides of your head, it's advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

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.

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? Please advise

Female | 21

It sounds like you might have developed Eustachian tube dysfunction, where the tube that connects your throat to your ear gets blocked, leading to ear pain and reduced hearing. Now, those ear drops you used contain some strong ingredients, and using them excessively can sometimes worsen the situation. Here's what I recommend: stop using the ear drops for now. Instead, try some warm compresses on the affected ear and consider over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to see an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

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.
