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 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 ear infection pain and swelling?

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.

Why isn't antibiotics working for my throat and ear pain?

You likely have a throat infection along with ear pain. The antibiotics you refused might not have helped if it's a viral infection since antibiotics only work on bacterial infections. Throat infections can be caused by viruses like the common cold. Resting your voice, drinking warm liquids, and using throat lozenges can help. If the discomfort continues, seeing a doctor is the best choice.

How can I clear throat cough after brain stroke?

Your grandfather is likely experiencing throat congestion, which is common among stroke people. This could be caused by the fact that after a stroke, a person may have difficulty swallowing. When we swallow, the cough should come out of the mouth. Be sure to hydrate him by drinking lots of fluids. A speech therapist who can teach exercises to improve swallowing and coughing should be seen. Apart from that, he will also be able to make the cough from his throat disappear.

Why do I have noseblock, sinus, nosebleed, fever, bodyache?

Nasal congestion, along with occasional bleeding, can often result from infections or allergies, leading to discomfort, fever, and body aches. These symptoms suggest your body is fighting something off, often a viral infection. To help, stay hydrated and consider using a saline nasal spray for relief. Warm compresses may also ease discomfort. If bleeding persists or worsens, or if symptoms do not improve within a few days, I recommend seeking advice from ENT specialist

Why won't my throat infection and gland infections go?

Throat infections can lead to interconnected issues such as discomfort in the salivary glands and ears. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, or difficulty swallowing. If your current treatment isn’t helping, it may be due to antibiotic resistance, viral causes, or other underlying issues. It's essential to stay hydrated and rest.

Have antibiotics and ear drops helped my ear infection?

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.
