What should I do for cough?
If we have cough in our neck what to do
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
If you have been feeling like something is tickling or causing discomfort in your throat, it could be an irritation on your throat. This irritation is usually caused by a common cold, allergies, or food particles getting stuck in the back of the mouth and then traveling down into the esophagus. Other symptoms may include a dry cough without phlegm production; hoarseness (speaking with difficulty in voice due to swelling); or pain when swallowing. If any of them persists too long or worsens over time then visit an ENT specialist.

I haven't slept properly my left ear is paining a lot
Male | 19
You might have an ear infection, which can cause pain and disturb your sleep. Other symptoms could include hearing loss and fluid drainage from the ear. Ear infections are often caused by bacteria or viruses. To ease the discomfort, try using a warm compress on your ear and taking over-the-counter pain relief. If the pain does not go away, make sure to consult an ENT specialist for proper treatment.

If I have ulcers inside my throat, what should I do and which medicine should I take?
Male | 18
You might have throat ulcers if swallowing or talking causes pain and it feels like there are sores. These ulcers can occur due to infections, acid reflux, or certain medications. Avoiding spicy, acidic foods and drinks is crucial for healing. Gargling with warm salt water can provide relief. Staying hydrated and consuming soft, easy-to-swallow foods aids recovery. However, if the discomfort persists, over-the-counter pain medication may be necessary.

How do I get over ear infection I have for 2 weeks
Female | 43
Ear pain, redness, and sometimes a fever can be signs of an ear infection. It happens when your ear gets germs in it. You need to visit an ENT specialist so that they can help you get better. Rest, take the medicine, and apply warm compresses to your ear.

Your voice might have been affected and you’ve had a cold for three days. You also had a fever. These are the typical symptoms of a common cold. These are mainly caused by viruses. The best thing to do is to take a rest, drink plenty of fluids, and use over-the-counter drugs to relieve the symptoms. If it doesn’t get better, visit an ENT specialist.

Feel like something stuck in throat
Female | 22
Something stuck in your throat can happen for many reasons. Swollen tonsils, drip from the nose, or stomach acid can cause it. You might have trouble swallowing, a sore throat, and coughing. Drink lots of water. Gargle with salt in warm water. Eat soft foods. But if it doesn't go away, see an ENT specialist.

I am 26 years old female. My two ears have been blocked for over three weeks and there are no signs it would open. What should I do to get it open?
Female | 26
Earwax buildup often causes this. Hardened wax clogs the ear canal, making you feel full or hear less. Use over-the-counter ear drops to soften wax. Gently flush ears with warm water using a bulb syringe. If this doesn't work, see an ENT specialist for evaluation and treatment.

I went to barber shop yesterday . While cutting my ear hair by a hair trimmer there was a cut and blood came . Am I at risk of hiv
Male | 38
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.

I am 30 years old, I am facing nose dryness in summer season and also lesion, blockage, soreness in the morning. What can be the cause and what can be done to fix it?
Male | 30
You might have allergic rhinitis. That's a fancy phrase for nose allergies. Your body reacts to stuff like pollen, pet hair, and dust mites. To ease symptoms, use a room humidifier for moisture. Drink lots of water too. Saline nose sprays can relieve dryness. If home remedies don't work, see an allergy doctor. They'll help find the cause and treatment for you.

In ear dry skin flakes comes from ear,,and ear repeatedly block,,,I do valsava,,,it's open but again blocked,,,after some times,,what to do,,,,,,,
Male | 24
You are going through some issues with dry skin flakes coming out of your ears and having the feeling of your ear blocking up, even after you have been trying the Valsalva technique. This can happen when the skin in your ear canal gets irritated and sheds the flakes, which subsequently results in a blockage. You can try a gentle ear-cleaning solution to keep your ear clean and moist. If this issue keeps on persisting, you should visit an ENT doctor for more diagnostics.

What nasal decongestant is safe during pregnancy
Best is to take nasal decongestant sprays for a short duration as prescribed by your physician. It's locally acting, quick relief and negligible amount is absorbed into the circulation.

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 am having throat pain(itchy type) along with ear pain for three weeks. I have taken normal antibiotics but is not working
Male | 37
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.

Male | 33
It may be that you are having a case of the common cold. The symptoms you mentioned, like the sore throat, headache, swollen nose and eyes, and fever mostly at night, are typical ones of a cold. Colds are caused by viruses spread when the person close to you is coughing or sneezing. Get plenty of rest, drink fluids, and take over-the-counter medicines to help with the symptoms. If you are not feeling better in a few days, you can visit an ENT specialist.

I feel some voice in one side of my head and some time in both side from three years
Male | 28
It may sound like you're experiencing a symptom known as tinnitus, which manifests as the perception of ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sounds in the head, and can occur in one or both ears. Tinnitus can be related to factors such as age, exposure to loud noises, or ear infections. Coping strategies for tinnitus include reducing exposure to loud sounds, managing stress, and ensuring adequate sleep. However, since your symptoms involve hearing voices specifically on one side or both sides of your head, it's advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Good evening. I had a sore throat on Thursday. The next two days I had no symptoms except Sunday and then I have a mild headache that worsens with vigorous movements and weakened mucus. It is accompanied by green mucus and fevers (mainly in the afternoon for the last two days) ranging from 36.9°C to 37.7°C. Can you tell me what to do to deal with it and what are the possible causes as I am worried? Thanks!"

You have a sore throat, headache, green mucus, and fevers. These symptoms can belong to the respiratory infection and can be treated with antibiotic rest and a lot of fluids. It's necessary to stay hydrated, sleep properly, and think about using a humidifier. If symptoms continue, it's a good idea to visit an ENT doctor.

My right ear is getting clogged from past 2 days how to get rid of it
Female | 19
You might have a hearing problem. Among the usual suspects are a hair wax overload, a blade of fluid, or, on a possible ear infection note. This blockage can manifest as symptoms such as loss of hearing, fullness, or dizziness. To assist in clearing your ear, try tilting your head to the side and gently pulling on your earlobe. Alternatively, you can look for over-the-counter ear drops that help soften the earwax with antibiotics. If the blockage persists to is accompanied by pain or fever, it is important to visit an ENT specialist.
