Can I Take Dolo 650 for Throat Pain?
It sounds like you're experiencing throat pain and cough, which can often stem from viral infections or irritants. Since you have no fever or runny nose, this may not be a serious concern. You can continue using throat lozenges and gargling warm salt water for comfort. Dolo 650, which contains paracetamol, can help relieve pain; just ensure you follow dosage instructions. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a physician for tailored advice.

Experiencing occasional blood from throat during sleep needs proper evaluation by a specialist. It could be due to dryness, nasal congestion, or throat irritation. In the meantime, keeping the air humidified and avoiding throat irritants may offer some relief.

Why is my ear painful and swollen again?
Pain and swelling in your ear can result from infections, especially following flu symptoms. Since you have a history of eardrum issues, it's crucial to monitor these symptoms closely. Utilizing warm compresses may provide temporary relief, and over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort. However, I strongly advise consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough examination. They can determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or further care.

Why does my left upper ear hurt when touched?
You may have an external ear infection, commonly known as “swimmer’s ear.” Signs and symptoms of it could be pain, which may worsen when touching the outside of the ear or tugging on the earlobe, as well as a sensation that your ear is full inside. Water trapped in the ear or skin irritation can cause this infection. You could help yourself feel better by trying to keep your ears dry and taking nonprescription pain relievers. However, if the pain doesn’t go away or becomes severe, you should see a ENT specialist.

How to permanently treat recurring nasal allergies?
Nasal allergies can bring along to you some symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. They are mostly caused by things such as dust, pollen, or pet dander. To help you get rid of your allergies entirely, you can first try to avoid triggers as much as possible, keep your living space clean, and consider discussing allergy shots with an allergist to help your body build up a tolerance to the allergens over time.

Can I Safely Use Ear Drops for Ear Pain?
It sounds like you might have developed Eustachian tube dysfunction, where the tube that connects your throat to your ear gets blocked, leading to ear pain and reduced hearing. Now, those ear drops you used contain some strong ingredients, and using them excessively can sometimes worsen the situation. Here's what I recommend: stop using the ear drops for now. Instead, try some warm compresses on the affected ear and consider over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to see an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

Why is my throat dry while sleeping?
There are a few reasons this might be happening. One possibility is that the air in your bedroom is too dry, especially if you use air conditioning or heating. Another reason could be breathing through your mouth while you sleep, which can dry out your throat. It's essential to stay hydrated throughout the day and consider using a humidifier in your room at night. Also, try sleeping on your side instead of your back to encourage breathing through your nose. If the dry throat persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

Why do I have frequent runny nose relief temporarily?
This could be due to a few things. Allergies, a sinus infection, or even non-allergic rhinitis could be possible culprits. Taking temporary relief medications suggests it might be related to allergies or inflammation. It's good that you're finding some relief, but it's important to get to the root of the issue. I recommend scheduling a visit with a physician who can assess your symptoms and possibly recommend long-term solutions like allergy testing or prescription medications. It's always best to address these things properly to ensure you're feeling your best.

Am I at risk of HIV from barber shop cut?
You can relax, getting a little scratch on your hand from a trimmer at the hairdresser's doesn't make you prone to falling ill with HIV. HIV doesn't transfer itself through minor bruises, though. Keep it dry and worry about any visible symptoms that could manifest, e.g., redness, swelling, or pain. In case it does not improve or if you feel concerned, you can also make an appointment with a doctor s you can get a peace of mind.

The pink fleshy parts you see are likely normal structures, but they may appear enlarged during congestion. This condition can improve over time.

Why can't I sleep with left ear pain?
It looks like your left ear is infected. Ear pain and trouble sleeping might be the result of the infection you have.

The ear is the most common site of infections and sometimes the yeast infectious ways matched can be compatible with some types of bacteria. Ensure that the ear is clean and dry. The right treatment should be gotten only through seeking specialized medical attention from an ENT specialist.
