Male | 33

It may be that you are having a case of the common cold. The symptoms you mentioned, like the sore throat, headache, swollen nose and eyes, and fever mostly at night, are typical ones of a cold. Colds are caused by viruses spread when the person close to you is coughing or sneezing. Get plenty of rest, drink fluids, and take over-the-counter medicines to help with the symptoms. If you are not feeling better in a few days, you can visit an ENT specialist.

My name is Shahraiz Sajjad - age 20, I’m having pain in my ear - infact vax stuck - not sharp pain but seems blocked . Needs advice pls 03008426441

Male | 20

It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of fullness in your ear due to earwax build-up. This can lead to discomfort but is usually manageable. Avoid using cotton swabs, as they may push the wax deeper. Instead, warm water or saline solution can help soften it. Over-the-counter ear drops can also assist. However, if the discomfort persists or worsens, please consult a ENT specialist for safe removal and evaluation.

Ear is close I use cipotic drops but not open

Female | 38

As your ear feels blocked, and you've been using cipotic drops but it's not getting better. This sensation could be due to a buildup of earwax or even fluid behind the eardrum. Sometimes, the drops may not be enough to clear it up completely. The next step would be to have your ear examined by a ENT specialist who can determine the exact cause and recommend the best course of action. In the meantime, try not to insert anything into your ear canal and avoid using cotton swabs, as they can actually push the wax further in.

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.

I got into a car crash back in April 2022 when I was 17 years old. I took my eyes off the road was fiddling with the car radio, my head was turned towards the right and I crash the passenger side of my car into a telephone pole and all the airbags deployed. I didn’t get any facial or body injuries. I got diagnosed with bilateral tinnitus from an ENT doctor but they didn’t find any damage when they did a physical examination. I did a hearing test and I have a little bit of hearing loss. Based on my hearing test is my tinnitus permanent or temporary?

I’m a 22 female. One day, probably 3 days ago i started feeling my voice cracking. It felt funny, didn’t have any other symptoms, have happened to me before. In the evening i went to concert and tried that “wooh“ and couldn’t. Sounded awful. I didn’t thought anything serious, later after talking a while, it got better. Had some lozenges. Next morning i had almost no voice. Well, I thought whatever, and went to work (as a barista). Almost all of the time my colleague talked. But i had to a bit as well. As day went on it got worse n worse. Hard to swallow. Sore throat. Nothing else. Had Decatylen (pills and spray), herbal lozenges, GeloRevoice, teas, NAC, vitamin c with honey. One time it was acid, then antacid worked. But not this time. I don’t know what to do anymore

Female | 22

It sounds like you’re experiencing laryngitis, likely due to vocal strain or a mild infection. The symptoms you describe—voice changes, soreness, and difficulty swallowing—are common in these cases. To help, ensure you stay well-hydrated, rest your voice as much as possible, and consider warm saltwater gargles for the throat. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment. Prioritizing your vocal health is important, and seeking guidance can provide you with the best path forward.
