Why Do I Have Ear Aches?

A few different things can cause earaches. Sometimes it is an infection such as one in the ear canal or middle ear where bacteria or viruses have entered. Another cause may be too much ear wax or changes in air pressure. You may find relief by using warm compresses, taking over-the-counter pain medication, and resting. You should see an ENT specialist if your condition doesn’t improve after a few days or get worse.

Why does my tinnitus worsen at night?

Tinnitus may be caused by exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even stress. To decrease the ringing in the ears, consider using the white noise machine at night or do not play music that is too loud. Also, visiting an ENT specialist is the best option for getting a proper evaluation.

Could my sore throat be serious?

You and your family may have caught a cold virus, which is highly contagious when people are in close contact. Some symptoms that come along with having a cold include a sore throat and trouble swallowing. Taking over-the-counter Humex Rhume can relieve these symptoms. Make sure to drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest.

Why is my throat sore and droopy?

Sounds like the previous infection has not cleared completely or there is a second viral infection that has come on. We also need to see why the frequency is so high despite medications. Kindly visit an ENT surgeon.

Why Do I Feel Something Stuck in Throat?

This sounds like what is called bolus sensation in the throat which usually is due to what's called acid reflux/ GERD. There can be many other cases too. Please visit ENT doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Could ear injury cause pressure and discharge?

It’s common for there to be some pain with an ear infection, as well as pressure, pus, or fluid drainage, and no fever. Ear infections happen when germs get into the ear canal. To help with this problem, attempt to use some warm water to gently clean the outside part of your ear only – do not stick anything inside the ear. If it does not start feeling better soon, visit an ENT specialist because there could be something else going on besides an infection like an injury from scratching too hard.

Why is my throat mucus not going away?

You may have chronic sinusitis. This condition causes long-term inflammation in the air-filled spaces of your skull known as the sinuses. Symptoms can include mucus drainage down the throat, off-and-on swelling, and a sick feeling. If it isn’t caused by bacteria, antibiotics might not work. To find the best way to take care of your symptoms, you should see an ENT specialist.

Why is there a lump in my left neck?

This might happen if your lymph nodes there become swollen. These are small structures shaped like beans inside your body, which help fight off infection. The bump could be caused by something as simple as a cold or infection; however, sometimes it could mean something more serious. If it hasn’t gone away or is getting larger, see an ENT specialist right away.

Why does my severe sore throat persist despite medication?

You may have an acute tonsillitis infection. When the tonsils become infected with viruses or bacteria this frequently occurs. The fever and headache you experienced are common symptoms of this condition. Since taking medication has not helped, it is necessary to get a proper diagnosis from an ENT specialist. This will enable them to prescribe stronger antibiotics which should make you feel well. Do not forget to drink plenty of water and have enough bed rest.

Why are my sore throat and blocked ear persistent?

When someone coughs up green phlegm, that means they have an infection. Your condition may be because of a stubborn bacterial infection which will need more time to completely clear up. Take your medicine as prescribed and ensure you finish the full course of antibiotics. If your symptoms continue or get worse then I think it’d be wise for you to go to an ENT specialist so they can conduct further tests on you.

Why do I feel ear pain with swallowing?

You may have tonsillitis. It can be felt in your tongue, ear, and throat. The pain may be so severe when swallowing that it feels as though your ear is being struck. Feeling sick in the evenings is not uncommon either. A virus or bacteria can cause the condition. Drinking lots of water, getting plenty of rest, and consuming soft foods can be helpful. For further treatment, a visit to an ENT specialist may be necessary.

Why is my runny nose worsening and stuffy?

You may have sinusitis or a sinus infection. Stuffy and runny nose with clear mucus are common symptoms of sinusitis. The yellow mucus that you cough up in the morning is a sign that it may be bacterial. To relieve congestion, try applying a warm compress across your face and seek medical attention for further assessment.
