Why my throat dry at night while sleeping

Male | 21

There are a few reasons this might be happening. One possibility is that the air in your bedroom is too dry, especially if you use air conditioning or heating. Another reason could be breathing through your mouth while you sleep, which can dry out your throat. It's essential to stay hydrated throughout the day and consider using a humidifier in your room at night. Also, try sleeping on your side instead of your back to encourage breathing through your nose. If the dry throat persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

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.

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.

I have glandular fever and was wondering if I should go into hospital or if there’s anything I can do to lessen the symptoms as my tonsils are very swollen and it hurts to talk and swallow my saliva as well as eat and drink

Female | 17

Glandular fever, also known as infectious mononucleosis, could be causing your symptoms. This viral illness makes tonsils swell and hurt badly. You may have a sore throat, swollen glands, and feel exhausted. To ease discomfort, rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and take pain medication if needed. If swallowing is difficult, eat soft foods and avoid rough or spicy items. Consult an ENT doctor if symptoms worsen.

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!

If we have cough in our neck what to do

Female | 65

If you have been feeling like something is tickling or causing discomfort in your throat, it could be an irritation on your throat. This irritation is usually caused by a common cold, allergies, or food particles getting stuck in the back of the mouth and then traveling down into the esophagus. Other symptoms may include a dry cough without phlegm production; hoarseness (speaking with difficulty in voice due to swelling); or pain when swallowing. If any of them persists too long or worsens over time then visit an ENT specialist.

Female | 31

An ear infection can cause discomfort, including pain, drainage, and sometimes hearing difficulties. Typically, these are due to bacteria or viruses. Since you're already on antibiotics and using ear drops, you're on the right path for recovery. Make sure to complete the full course of your antibiotics even if you start feeling better. Staying hydrated and resting will also aid healing. If symptoms worsen or persist, please reach out to your ENT specialist for further evaluation.

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.

You might have tonsillitis, where your tonsils (the two lumps at the back of your throat) become swollen and inflamed. This can be caused by bacteria or viruses. The inflammation could be why you feel pain while eating and swallowing, and the white patches indicate an infection. It's important to see an ENT specilaist, as they may recommend antibiotics to treat the infection. Meanwhile, drink plenty of fluids and avoid very hot or spicy foods.

Male | 32

Persistent whistle in your left ear may be related to fluid or sensitivity following hydrogen peroxide exposure. While it's reassuring that your eardrum is intact, this sound could come from issues like Eustachian tube dysfunction or residual earwax. It’s important to stay in touch with your ENT specialist, as they can provide targeted treatments or further evaluations if necessary. In the meantime, try avoiding irritating substances and keep your ears dry.

Are you possibly interested in the problem with your ear and the pain in your jaw? These various symptoms include ear infections, fluid buildup, and the possible jaw joint problems, among others. Although the sensation of having something stuck can be disconcerting, it is advisable not to play a doctor and communicate with the doctor. I suggest making an appointment with your healthcare provider in order to be assessed. Their examination will reveal the exact problem you might be suffering from, they will solve your worries and offer the right type of treatment.
