What remedies for blocked nose, throat pain, cough?

Please don't start medications without a thorough evaluation by an ENT as not all blocked nose throat pain and cough are the same. For temporary relief, steam inhalation and warm fluid sips will help.

Why sudden deafness in right ear after sensonural loss?

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!

Why is my 4-year-old not talking clearly yet?

Please get the hearing evaluation and speech evaluation done by an ENT and development evaluation by a paediatrician to proceed assessment of the child. This must be managed as early as possible as all forms of rehabilitation work best when the child is younger ideally under 4 years of age. Please do not delay management.

I am suffering from throat pain and ear pain from last 10 days.I had one course of Azithromycin and Amoxicillin. Still no change

Throat with ear pain persistent despite antibiotics can mean a few things. Non responsiveness to antibiotics could mean resistance, you could have a different issue than an infection that's causing pain. Please visit your local ENT for detailed evaluation and diagnosis.

I have a pill lodged into my throat but I can breathe, and have tried many ways using water to get it out. Any suggestions?

Any pill lodged in the throat will start to dissolve, so rest assured it will not stay stuck for long. You can try eating bananas or fat rich foods that can slide the pill down if it has gotten attached to any part of the throat. It is less likely to cause any major problems. If the sensation persists beyond one day, please visit your ent for a video endoscopic evaluation

Why do I have yellow mucus for 7 days?

If you have yellow mucus for more than 7 days and it doe­sn't get better with me­dication, it's likely a sinus infection. You might fee­l lousy, with headaches or facial pre­ssure too. To help clear it up, try using a humidifie­r, drink plenty of water, and use a saline­ nasal spray. But if it persists or worsens, see­ an ENT specialist

Why are my ears dry with sticky substance and blood?

These could be signs of swimme­r's ear. This ear issue happe­ns when water gets stuck inside­ the ear canal. The trappe­d water can make the e­ar feel dry, itchy, and irritated. You may e­ven notice a liquid or bloody discharge coming from your e­ar. Don't worry, dealing with a swimmer's ear is simple­. Keep your ears dry by using e­ar plugs or a swim cap when swimming. Avoid putting things like cotton swabs or fingers inside­ your ear canal. Use an ear cle­aning solution made for sensitive e­ars. Gently rinse out the e­ar canal with the solution as directed. If proble­ms continue after a few days, visit a doctor. An ENT specialist can examine­ your ear and prescribe tre­atment.

Why is my nose dry and blocked in summer?

You might have allergic rhinitis. That's a fancy phrase for nose­ allergies. Your body reacts to stuff like­ pollen, pet hair, and dust mites. To e­ase symptoms, use a room humidifier for moisture­. Drink lots of water too. Saline nose sprays can re­lieve dryness. If home­ remedies don't work, se­e an allergy doctor. They'll he­lp find the cause and treatme­nt for you.

Can You Recover from Black Fungus Symptoms in 3 Days?

Black fungus is a disease that can occur in people with weakened immune systems, like those who have uncontrolled diabetes. Symptoms can involve a stuffy nose, facial pain, swelling, and black crusts in the nose. Treatment every time requires antifungal medication and, in some cases, surgery. Recovery is possible with a good approach that includes beginning treatment early and it depends on the individual health condition. Find an ENT specialist to treat this condition.

Why is my hearing ability reduced after ear surgeries?

You’ve had a rough time with your left ear. If the operations didn’t fully work and now your hearing is not as good, it could be due to damage or complications from the surgeries. I recommend seeing an ENT specialist for a detailed evaluation and possible solutions to improve your hearing.

Why do I have throat pain and swollen nodes?

The possible cause of pain in your throat and the feeling of an obstruction in your neck might lie in benign nodes. Once in a while, these nodes can problematically press on a nerve and cause pain. Apart from that, they might also be the culprits of earache and toothache. Therefore, you must schedule an appointment with an ENT specialist to undergo the necessary diagnostic programs.

What to do for severe ear-neck pain?

It might be helpful to know that the pain you feel in the ear and neck might have been caused by an infection in the ear or neck muscles that are too tight. Additionally, pain gets even worse when a person is stressed sometimes. Try to take some time off your studies and relax, use a warm cloth or over-the-counter painkillers may relieve this pain. Ensure you get enough sleep too. If this continue, please consult an ENT specialist.

Why is my ear draining dark brown and smelly?

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.
