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.

Ear is close I use cipotic drops but not open

Female | 38

As your ear feels blocked, and you've been using cipotic drops but it's not getting better. This sensation could be due to a buildup of earwax or even fluid behind the eardrum. Sometimes, the drops may not be enough to clear it up completely. The next step would be to have your ear examined by a ENT specialist who can determine the exact cause and recommend the best course of action. In the meantime, try not to insert anything into your ear canal and avoid using cotton swabs, as they can actually push the wax further in.

Hello Doctor, I had a mild throat infection since yesterday. After taking a long bath, one of my ears got blocked. I have mild ear pain and reduced (not complete) hearing in that ear. A medical store gave ear drops containing paradichlorobenzene, benzocaine, chlorbutol and turpentine oil, and I used 2 drops once by mistake. Is it safe to continue this ear drop in my condition? If not, what is the correct treatment or alternative I should follow? Please advise

Female | 21

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.

Male | 68

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.

Your coughs might be from postnasal drip. Mucus flows down your throat from your nose. Allergies, sinus infections, or acid reflux could cause it. Drink lots of fluids. Use a humidifier. Avoid smoke and other irritants. Try decongestants or saline sprays for relief. But if it doesn't improve, see an ENT doctor. They'll examine you and give proper treatment.

Why I have Partial hearing loss from my left ear and when I apply pressure by closing my nose , mouth, air come out from my ear

Male | 26

The Eustachian tube is a little passage. It links your middle ear to your nose's back area. This tube can get blocked, causing partial hearing loss in that ear. When you close your mouth and nose, air might come out of your ear if you apply pressure. To help open the Eustachian tube, try yawning or chewing gum. If this issue persists, it's wise to see an ENT doctor.
