Why do I have whistling sound in my left ear after using hydrogen peroxide?

Persistent whistle in your left ear may be related to fluid or sensitivity following hydrogen peroxide exposure. While it's reassuring that your eardrum is intact, this sound could come from issues like Eustachian tube dysfunction or residual earwax. It’s important to stay in touch with your ENT specialist, as they can provide targeted treatments or further evaluations if necessary. In the meantime, try avoiding irritating substances and keep your ears dry.

Are Sore Throat Headaches Causing Me Trouble?

A sore throat accompanied by headaches can stem from various factors, such as viral infections, allergies, or even sinus issues. Symptoms often include discomfort while swallowing, fatigue, and nasal congestion. Staying hydrated and using over-the-counter pain relievers may help alleviate discomfort. Gargling with warm salt water can also provide relief. However, should your symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, please consider reaching out to a physician for further evaluation.

Why does my ear pain persist despite ear drops?

It sounds like you’re experiencing discomfort and drainage from your ear, which can be caused by an infection or congestion. Pain and fluid can occur if there's inflammation in the ear canal or middle ear. Using ear drops is a good start, but if the pain persists, it may indicate a need for further assessment. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a ENT Specialist who can evaluate your condition and provide appropriate treatment. Taking care of your ear health is essential, and a doctor will ensure you receive the best possible care.

Why is pressure in my throat getting worse at night?

It's understandable to feel concerned about the sensation in your throat and the pressure you're experiencing. These symptoms can arise from anxiety, muscle tension, or postural issues. Thick saliva and neck discomfort may contribute to this sensation as well. Staying hydrated and practicing relaxation techniques could help alleviate discomfort. However, since these symptoms are persistent and impacting your daily life, it’s advisable to consult a physician. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored advice, ensuring you're supported and informed.

Experiencing persistent hissing in one ear and a feeling of fullness along with discomfort and headaches can be distressing.

Why do I have throat pain with white spots?

You may be experiencing acute tonsillitis, resulting in significant discomfort while swallowing and coughing. The presence of white spots suggests a possible infection. Saline gargles are helpful, but additional treatment may be necessary. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can provide relief. Staying hydrated and using throat lozenges may also ease the pain. However, I recommend seeking a healthcare professional for a precise diagnosis and suitable medications, as they may prescribe antibiotics if a bacterial infection is present.

Why is my voice cracking and throat sore?

It sounds like you’re experiencing laryngitis, likely due to vocal strain or a mild infection. The symptoms you describe—voice changes, soreness, and difficulty swallowing—are common in these cases. To help, ensure you stay well-hydrated, rest your voice as much as possible, and consider warm saltwater gargles for the throat. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment. Prioritizing your vocal health is important, and seeking guidance can provide you with the best path forward.

Why are my nostrils congested and breathing difficult suddenly?

The pink fleshy parts you see are likely normal structures, but they may appear enlarged during congestion. This condition can improve over time. To alleviate symptoms, try using saline nasal sprays, staying hydrated, and inhaling steam. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeing a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation is a good idea to rule out any underlying issues and receive appropriate treatment.

Is my enlarged turbinate causing breathing problems?

It sounds like you may be experiencing nasal congestion, which can occur due to factors like allergies, a respiratory infection, or environmental irritants. Swelling in the nasal passages can temporarily hinder airflow, making breathing through your nose difficult. In many cases, this condition improves on its own within a few days as inflammation subsides. To alleviate symptoms, consider using saline nasal sprays or a humidifier. Drinking plenty of fluids can also help. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.

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.

How to Address Trapped Water Feeling in Right Ear?

Mucus buildup can cause a sensation of fullness in the ear, leading to muffled hearing, as the Eustachian tubes may become blocked. Staying well-hydrated, using steam inhalation, or saline nasal sprays may help alleviate the congestion. If symptoms persist, or if you experience pain or fever, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional. They can check for any underlying issues and provide appropriate treatment.

How to clear trapped water feeling in right ear?

It sounds like you're experiencing typical symptoms of a common cold, which can affect sinuses and lead to feelings of pressure or fluid in the ears. This sensation, along with diminished hearing, may result from fluid buildup. For relief, consider using a warm compress on your ear, staying hydrated, and trying steam inhalation to help clear sinus passages. Over-the-counter decongestants may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

How can I stop catarrh from interrupting my preaching?

It appears that you have a prolonged sore throat which may be due to hidden factors such as allergies, post-nasal drip, or even acid reflux. Therefore, it is possible to feel discomfort if speaking for a long time. You can reduce the symptoms by keeping your fluid intake high and by using a humidifier in the case of dry environments. Patients should also use Throat lozenges. On the other hand, since this is a recurring issue over many years, I very strongly suggest speaking with a healthcare professional.
