I am a 16 year old male, and I have been experiencing earaches that sometimes come and go, it feels only a little but is disturbing, it first happened in the right ear and then in the left ear and has been going on for more than 2 months until now, I have visited an ENT doctor and was told that my ear paper is fine, just a little red and was prescribed antibiotics and painkillers for a week but that seems to be gone a month ago, I have been feeling the pain until now, I never cover my ears when I shower because I have OCD, I also always use earphones but since I had the earache I have used the volume one to three, and I also seem to hear a whooshing and ticking sound often,

You've been struggling with earaches for a long time already. The redness of the ears is a sign of inflammation. Your earphones habit and not covering your ears while showering may have some impact on this problem. The whooshing and ticking sound you hear might be connected to the earaches. It may be better to reduce earphone usage and keep your ears dry. When the pain doesn't go away, check with your ENT doctor for additional tests.

sir i have problem in cough for long time 1 yr all my cough come from nasal cavity or nose not from my thort how can i cure this can you tell me

Male | 16

Your coughs might be from postnasal drip. Mucus flows down your throat from your nose. Allergies, sinus infections, or acid reflux could cause it. Drink lots of fluids. Use a humidifier. Avoid smoke and other irritants. Try decongestants or saline sprays for relief. But if it doesn't improve, see an ENT doctor. They'll examine you and give proper treatment.

Hello doctor, so in 2022 I was diagnosed with typhoid in March. It was a 15-day treatment course. I made a full recovery in 1 month. Then, in July, I found 2 lymph nodes in my neck (level Il & IV), each less than 1cm. They were movable. The FNAC result was left cervical small swelling, reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. The lower one shrank a bit with meds, but today I noticed both nodes are still there and movable, just like 2 years ago. Do l need to get it checked again or is it normal?

Female | 24

Lymph nodes are small defenders in your body that help fight infections. Sometimes, they stay a little swollen even after the infection is gone. In your case, the nodes are small and movable, which is a positive sign. Since they haven’t changed in size over the past two years and aren’t causing any issues, it’s likely just your body’s way of managing past infections. However, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on them. If they grow, become painful, or new symptoms appear, it's best to get them checked again for peace of mind.

I am 16 year old boy with neck swellling it has been going on for 3 days now

Male | 16

The puffed neck can take place for several reasons. Considering it is there for 3 days, notice will be required. Some common ones are, for example, being infected (like swollen glands) or even reacting to something. Besides, it may be about a thyroid issue. See a healthcare professional as fast as possible, so they can find the exact reason why you are ill and prescribe the proper medicine.

Having this constant sound in my left year since last 50 days It's constant all the time

Female | 18

This persistent sound, known as tinnitus, can have various causes. It could be due to exposure to loud noises, ear infections, earwax buildup, or even stress. In fact, it's essential to have it evaluated by an ear, nose, and throat specialist for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, try to avoid loud noises, manage stress levels, and ensure good ear hygiene. I suggest booking an appointment with an ENT doctor soon to get to the bottom of this and explore treatment options.

I have had a cold for a couple days. Mucus secretions, sore throat, generally feeling under the weather. On one of the days, my right ear started to feel like water was trapped inside. It still has to gotten better. When I speak, I feel like I am under water. It doesnt hurt, but my hearing is diminished. How can I fix it?

Female | 25

Mucus buildup can cause a sensation of fullness in the ear, leading to muffled hearing, as the Eustachian tubes may become blocked. Staying well-hydrated, using steam inhalation, or saline nasal sprays may help alleviate the congestion. If symptoms persist, or if you experience pain or fever, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional. They can check for any underlying issues and provide appropriate treatment.

I have ear infection too much pain face swelling

Male | 25

You may be suffering from an ear infection. The infection itself is responsible for the pain and swelling in your face. Ear infections develop as a result of the bacteria or virus that infects your ear. On one hand, they may disappear on their own without treatment; on the other hand, if the problem is serious, you should take medicine prescribed by an ENT specialist. Applying a warm cloth to your ear is a good way to soothe the pain for now.

Left year loss hearing. Chakker atey h

महिला | 73

The hearing loss could be due to various reasons - from something as simple as earwax buildup to more complex issues like an ear infection or even problems with the inner ear. Feeling dizzy or having "chakker" could also be related to the ear problem or other factors like low blood pressure. I recommend you see a doctor for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, try to avoid sudden head movements, stay hydrated, and rest well.
