What should I do about my bleeding, swollen tonsil?
You could have tonsillitis. When your tonsils, which are small organs in the back of your throat, get infected or inflamed, it's called tonsillitis. Symptoms may include throat pain, swollen tonsils with white patches and sometimes bleeding. To relieve these symptoms you must drink fluids, rest well, and gargle with warm salt water gently. In case they persist or worsen, you should consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

Why is my right ear blocked with mini beats?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a mild blockage in your ear, potentially caused by earwax buildup, sinus issues, or changes in pressure. The sensation of rhythmic sounds could be linked to fluid movement or minor changes in your ear's function. Staying hydrated and gently yawning or swallowing may help relieve discomfort. However, to ensure a proper assessment and appropriate treatment, I recommend consulting a ENT specialist. They can provide a thorough examination and tailored advice.

What should I do for a blocked ear?
A blocked ear can be due to various reasons such as earwax buildup, an ear infection, or even changes in air pressure. What you can do first is try some home remedies like gently tilting your head to the side or using over-the-counter ear drops to soften the wax. However, if the blockage persists or is accompanied by pain or hearing loss, it's best to see a ENT specialist for a proper evaluation. They can help determine the underlying cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Experiencing Left Ear Hearing Loss and Dizziness?
The hearing loss could be due to various reasons - from something as simple as earwax buildup to more complex issues like an ear infection or even problems with the inner ear. Feeling dizzy or having "chakker" could also be related to the ear problem or other factors like low blood pressure. I recommend you see a doctor for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, try to avoid sudden head movements, stay hydrated, and rest well.

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.
