The ear canal can be clogged and uncomfortable when wax builds up and gets removed, which can sometimes result in swelling and sulking. This may make you think your ear is blocked and may cause you pain when burping or swallowing. To help unclog your ear, try using warm olive oil drops to soften any remaining wax. You can also try gently irrigating your ear with warm water to help clear out any residue. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to seek further advice from your ENT specialist.

I am a 17 male who is visiting France from the US. I just got to France yesterday, but was in UK for 9 days before that. Yesterday, my dad started experiencing symptoms, and today, my mom, my sister, and I are all experiencing symptoms as well. My main symptom is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. As a tourist, our options are limited. I have started taking OTC Humex Rhume to help with symptoms.

Male | 17

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.

Dear Doctor, I'm an 18-year-old male. About 15-16 days ago, I had a really bad cold with symptoms including a sore throat, headache, and fever. After 7-8 days, my cold symptoms healed, but I still had a sore throat, hoarse voice, a completely blocked right ear, and I was constantly coughing up green mucus. Four days ago, I visited a doctor and was prescribed moxifloxacin 400mg once a day for 5 days (today is day 3). While my coughing has generally decreased, I still have a sore throat and my right ear is still blocked, although it did briefly open for a few minutes yesterday. This has been ongoing for three weeks, and I'm starting to lose hope as I'm not sure what I have or if I'll get better. In addition to moxifloxacin, here are the other medications I'm currently taking: Nasacort AQ (once a day) - today is day 6 Phenadone (twice a day) - today is day 8 Nexium (once a day) - today is day 6 Ganaton (three times a day) - today is day 6 Seretide Accuhaler Diskus (twice a day) - today is day 8 Polymer Adult Hypertonic 3% (twice a day) - today is day 3 Could you please help me understand what might be causing these persistent symptoms and advise on any further steps I should take? Thank you for your assistance.

My 6 year old son has complaining about something is stuck in his throat, I just checked a swollen elevation at the end of his tounge . I think it is visible like epiglottis

Male | 6.5

You should immediately contact a pediatrician or an ENT specialist to check out the symptoms of your child. Many conditions can cause swelling or pain in the throat, particularly around the epiglottis. It is essential to seek timely medical attention to prevent any complications and ensure the health of your child.

I think a little bug fly up my nose but i dont have any syptoms.what should i do?

Female | 18

Most often bugs that fly into the nose get trapped in the architecture or get entrapped in the mucus of the nose and drain down from the back of the nose down the throat which is barely even perceive. To be on the side of vigilance, Watch for any signs of nasal block, persistent runny nose from one side or any signs of infections/ sneezing in the next few days to weeks if you're concerned about it being lodged and have had secondary infection. In case any of these symptoms, you may need to see an ENT to get an evaluation and can be managed very easily.

I'm Rashmi, 27 years old. I'm a tb patient. Recently from past 5-6 days I'm having headache. So went for a CT brain scan. The results were normal. However there is one line written in bold which states "There is minimal polypoidal mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses". Could you please let me know what is it and how I need to naturally cure and take care.

Female | 27

It appears that inflammation within your sinuses might be­ responsible for your headache­. When sinuses become­ aggravated or infected, this condition arise­s. You may experience­ facial pressure, nasal congestion, or e­ven coughing. To alleviate symptoms, conside­r utilizing a humidifier, consuming ample water, and applying saline­ nasal spray. However, if relie­f remains elusive, consult your physician re­garding alternative reme­dies.

Dear Sir / Ma'am Pain in the throat whenever i wake up in the morning.mouth taste is also bitter .Sometimes blood also comes.

Male | 30

Pain in the throat and a bitter taste in the mouth can be signs of an underlying infection, such as a throat infection or tonsillitis. It is also possible that the symptoms are due to other causes, such as acid reflux or allergies. If you experience this symptom on a regular basis, it would be best to consult with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Your doctor may suggest further tests, such as blood tests, throat swabs, or imaging tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.
