Diagnostic Tests And Medications: The diagnostic tests cost and medications may vary according to the patient's condition and differ from hospital to hospital.

The Type And Location Of Hospital: Cochlear implant surgery costs in India may vary from hospital to hospital.

Post-Procedure Cochlear Implant Surgery Care

After your cochlear implant surgery, here is some post-procedure care to keep in mind:

● To recover faster, get enough sleep and rest as much as possible. Patients take up to 3 to 6 weeks to recover completely.

● Take some walks every day, depending on your stamina and health. Start by little and gradually increase the duration each day. Walking increases blood flow and prevents conditions like constipation and pneumonia.

● Avoid exerting activities until 4-6 weeks like running, weight lifting, aerobic exercises, jogging, biking, or bicycle riding.

● Avoid bending and sudden head movements for the first 2-3 days after your surgery.

● After you remove your bandage, keep the treated area dry and clean. You can wash the area with slightly warm water daily and then dry it.

Sir mere gale me kharas aur jalan aur khasi sukhi aati hai 1 sal se dava bahut karaya hu par thik nhi ho raha hai bahut jyada dikkat hai

Male | 23

Your throat symptoms have persisted. Scratchy, burning, dry cough - a year is alarming. Many cause exist allergies, dry air, and acid reflux. First, try drinking more water, using a humidifier, and avoiding smoke. If no improvement, see an ENT doctor. They'll evaluate, and treat the underlying issue.

I feel pressure in my throat or like a lump or something stuck it is like someone held my throat and the pressure is worse I feel like it gets worse during night I had neck pain few days ago I don't know if it is due to my posture or something else now not much pain and my saliva is kinda thick I kinda feel anxious when I think about it I lost 1 kg today and also like that throat thing goes upto my head I kinda feel like that

Female | 17

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.

Uvula inflammation problem uvula hang on tongue

Male | 17

Irritation of the uvula occurs when the tiny fleshy thing dangling at your throat's rear gets inflamed and reddened. It causes a sensation like something's stuck, tickling your throat. Infections, allergies, or excessive snoring could trigger this. To soothe it, consume chilled beverages and refrain from spicy fare. If discomfort persists, consulting an ENT specialist is advisable.

Male | 4

Please get the hearing evaluation and speech evaluation done by an ENT and development evaluation by a paediatrician to proceed assessment of the child. This must be managed as early as possible as all forms of rehabilitation work best when the child is younger ideally under 4 years of age. Please do not delay management.

Dr. Rakshita Kamath

First of all, I woke up with a weird feeling in my mouth. My saliva was extremely dry…I had to try take water but then I realized something shocking. It was initially tough to swallow my saliva like I had a sore throat but that wasn’t it. I felt my uvula come towards my tongue when I tried to gag. I checked the mirror and saw that my uvula got very long just overnight

Male | 24

Uvulitis is when your uvula swells up. The uvula hangs at the back of your throat. Infections, allergies, or snoring while asleep can cause it. You might feel something in your throat. Swallowing may be difficult, and your throat might hurt. Drinking lots of water helps. Gargling warm saltwater soothes. If symptoms don't go away, see an ENT specialist.

Answered on 23rd May '24

Dr. Babita Goel

I had strep and an ear infection. I went to urgent care twice. I took clindamycin for 10 days and the strep went away, so did the pain in the ear. It’s still clogged and I can’t hear much though (now 3 days past the last dose of antibiotics). There’s not pain, just pressure and little hearing. And when I yawn/blow my nose/etc it crackles like it wants to pop but it won’t clear. How long should I wait for it to clear before I go to a doctor again about it..?

Female | 25

The pressure and crackling you're feeling may be due to fluid trapped behind your eardrum, often after an infection. It usually clears on its own within a few weeks. In the meantime, you can try chewing gum, yawning, or performing the Valsalva maneuver (close your mouth, pinch your nose, and blow gently) to open the Eustachian tube. If the problem persists for more than a couple of weeks or worsens, it's best to see an ENT doctor for further treatment.

I have a strange lump on my neck, dizziness, constant sweats, a cough, sore throat and headaches

Male | 14

Swell in your neck, dizziness, sweat, cough, sore throat, and headache are conditions that an infection can lead to. Infections might have caused these symptoms in such situations. It's paramount to go and see an ENT specialist so they can tell what's happening and what treatment suits you. These signs should not be ignored, they might be the first symptoms of a more severe condition whose treatment should be done quickly.

Pain in the ear, pain behind the ear, pain in the jaw and neck. Now blocked ears and headache, neck and toothache. On the right side of the head means there is a swelling above the ear. This is exactly where the pain occurs. It is difficult to sleep on the side where the pain is, I get headache. I used waxsol to clean my right ear

Female | 23

You are likely dealing with an ear infection. The symptoms you are describing, including pain and swelling, typically accompany such an infection. You must visit an ENT specialist who can prescribe the appropriate treatment, for example, antibiotics. Use a warm compress to your ear for the moment to help with the pain.

I have sore throat and runny nose. What type of medicines I can use to treat the problem?

Your sore throat and runny nose likely indicate a common cold virus. Stay hydrated, rest adequately, and gargle warm salt water to soothe your throat. For persistent or worsening symptoms consult a doctor.

i have a ear ache on my right ear after lying on my right side for too long with headphones.

Female | 13

Having headphones on while lying on your side for long periods can cause pain in your ear. This happens due to pressure and friction in the ear canal. To ease earache symptoms, take breaks from wearing headphones frequently. Apply a warm compress to the affected ear. Avoid sleeping on that side until the pain goes away. If discomfort continues, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist.

I have ichy and dry throat for 2 weeks. What I need to do?

Female | 51

Having an itchy, dry throat can be annoying, especially if it’s been going on for two weeks. It could be caused by allergies, a virus, or even dry air. You might feel a scratchy sensation when swallowing or talking, and you might also experience coughing or a hoarse voice. To soothe your throat, drink plenty of water, use a humidifier, and suck on lozenges. If it doesn’t get better, have it checked by an ENT specialist.

I have had a cold for a couple days. Mucus secretions, sore throat, generally feeling under the weather. On one of the days, my right ear started to feel like water was trapped inside. It still has to gotten better. When I speak, I feel like I am under water. It doesnt hurt, but my hearing is diminished. How can I fix it?

Female | 25

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.

Hello, I've had recurring ear problems since January 2024, the first time was so painful that I was prescribed amoxicillin, since then the pain comes and goes, what do I do? I can't afford a doctor's visit. Thank you.

Female | 21

You've experienced ear troubles since January. Pain that comes and goes could mean a recurring infection. It's crucial to address the root cause. Keep ears dry, avoid inserting objects, try OTC pain relief. If no improvement, you should see an ENT doctor.

Hi, recently I was diagnosed with Sinuses. Doctor suggests surgery because nose bone is deformed. Is surgery necessary or it will be treated by medicine.

Female | 40

Are headaches, stuffy nose, or breathing problems telling you that something may be wrong with your nose bone? If so, you could be suffering from a deviated septum that requires surgery to fix it. Sometimes fixing the bone can relieve symptoms. When none of these treatments help, doctors will recommend an operation on what is blocking your airway.

Male | 16

The puffed neck can take place for several reasons. Considering it is there for 3 days, notice will be required. Some common ones are, for example, being infected (like swollen glands) or even reacting to something. Besides, it may be about a thyroid issue. See a healthcare professional as fast as possible, so they can find the exact reason why you are ill and prescribe the proper medicine.

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.

It appears you are going through allergic rhinitis, which is responsible for your runny nose, swollen eyes, ear pressure, sneezing, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been persisting for a long time despite trying different medications. The allergy shots that you are receiving may have expired, thus not giving you enough relief. Seek consultation from an allergist to review your treatment plan and consider updating your allergy shots to manage your symptoms effectively.

Male | 18

It’s common for there to be some pain with an ear infection, as well as pressure, pus, or fluid drainage, and no fever. Ear infections happen when germs get into the ear canal. To help with this problem, attempt to use some warm water to gently clean the outside part of your ear only – do not stick anything inside the ear. If it does not start feeling better soon, visit an ENT specialist because there could be something else going on besides an infection like an injury from scratching too hard.
