How long until clogged ear clears post antibiotic treatment?

The pressure and crackling you're feeling may be due to fluid trapped behind your eardrum, often after an infection. It usually clears on its own within a few weeks. In the meantime, you can try chewing gum, yawning, or performing the Valsalva maneuver (close your mouth, pinch your nose, and blow gently) to open the Eustachian tube. If the problem persists for more than a couple of weeks or worsens, it's best to see an ENT doctor for further treatment.

Why is my uvula suddenly very long?

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.

Why Do I Have One Side Nose Block?

Unilateral nasal obstruction or one-sided stuffed nose is another name for this type of blockage. Allergies, infections such as sinusitis, and even the common cold can result in this. Additionally, other symptoms may include sneezing, a runny nose, and difficulty breathing. To help clear the blockage, you can use over-the-counter decongestants, saline nasal sprays, or a humidifier. If there is no improvement after a few days see an ENT specialist.

Why do I have a congested nose suddenly?

It sounds like you may be experiencing nasal congestion, which can result from various factors such as allergies or a mild viral infection. The blockage while lying down could be due to gravity affecting nasal drainage. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier may help ease your symptoms. Over-the-counter saline sprays are also beneficial for relieving congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a general physician to rule out any underlying issues.

Why do I have whistling sound in my left ear after using hydrogen peroxide?

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.

Why am I experiencing chronic sinusitis symptoms?

Your symptoms do point towards chronic sinusitis, which can indeed cause all the issues you've been facing like the loss of smell, congestion, headaches, and even the anxiety and fast heartbeat episodes. It's good that you've been proactive in seeking help and trying medications, but it seems like we might need to explore other treatment options. I'd recommend seeing an ENT specialist  again for a thorough evaluation to possibly consider different medications or even other interventions.
