A benign parotid gland tumor refers to a non-cancerous growth in a salivary gland located at the side of your ear. Symptoms may include a bulge in the cheek or jaw area. In most cases, surgery is the primary method of dealing with the tumor. In most cases, the recovery time can be a bit longer than a few weeks. Adhering to your doctor's instructions post-surgery is essential for proper recovery.

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'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.

Male | 22
You may be having a condition called oral thrush. It is the result of a fungus that multiplies in your mouth. Symptoms include a dry throat, white spots on the back of your throat, feeling sick when eating, and pain when eating dry foods. To help, try eating soft foods and avoid sugary stuff. Drink enough water and practice good mouth hygiene. If it doesn't get better, visit an ENT specialist.

I'm having nasal congestion, and there is swelling on septum wall deep in nose become of allergy
Male | 24
You appear to be coping with nasal congestion and your nose is swollen due to allergies. A situation when your body reacts to things like pollen and dust may cause your nose to feel stuffy, while the inside of your nose may get swollen. This may block the airways, thus making it difficult to breathe. You can try saline nasal spray to clear your nose and avoid things that trigger your allergies. If it continues, you should visit an allergist who will assist you in finding a suitable treatment for your allergies.

It might feel like your throat is tight and you have difficulty breathing. When the mucus accumulates in your throat, it occurs. Usually, common colds, allergies, or even throat infections may be the reason. For treatment, you can drink warm liquids, use a humidifier, and take a rest. If it doesn't improve, it's best to consult an ENT specialist.

Female | 15
If you have yellow mucus for more than 7 days and it doesn't get better with medication, it's likely a sinus infection. You might feel lousy, with headaches or facial pressure too. To help clear it up, try using a humidifier, drink plenty of water, and use a saline nasal spray. But if it persists or worsens, see an ENT specialist.

Female | 27
You might be suffering from strep throat. Strep throat is caused by bacteria that can make your throat hurt a lot. The white patches you see are a common sign of strep throat. You may also have a fever and chills. To feel better, you should rest, drink fluids, and take medicine your doctor might prescribe to fight the infection. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe your throat.

You may be dealing with an ear infection. The germs, whether they are bacteria or viruses, infect your ear and cause a lot of pain, swelling, and even a sensation of blockage in your ear. Sometimes the pain may also radiate to your jaw and neck. Consulting an ENT specialist will enable you to obtain the correct treatment, primarily antibiotics for the infection.

Male | 20
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.

Male | 50
Ringing in your left ear is known as tinnitus. It can be caused by exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or a buildup of earwax. To reduce the ringing, you can use over-the-counter ear drops to clear any excess wax. If the ringing persists or worsens, it’s important to see an ENT specialist for further examination and treatment.

You have a small protrusion below your chin that is painful to the touch. It might be the case that a lymph node, usually caused by an infection in the body, is swollen. The most common causes are a cold, a sore throat, or even a dental problem. Convincing a lot of water, resting, and eating healthy can be a great help. If it still doesn't get better, see an ENT doctor for more help.

My brother had mumps problem in february. Second day he lost his hearing completely in left ear. With lots of noise in his ear. We consulted many doctors and had lengthy treatment for about 6 months. But zero result. Doctors declared that hearing will never come back. But we want the the tinnitus go away. It damages his life also. Please help
Male | 39
The feeling of noises in the ear, called tinnitus, can be very distressing. Tinnitus in such cases is usually nerve damage caused by the mumps infection. Sadly, in some cases, the hearing loss may not be reversible. To manage the symptoms, your brother can try listening to soothing music, using white noise machines, and avoiding loud noises. Counseling or therapy can also be helpful for the patients.

You might have an inflamed lymph node or possibly a salivary gland issue. Since the pain increases with chewing and swallowing, it's important to visit an ENT specialist. They can give a proper diagnosis and suggest the best treatment. Self-medication can be risky, so please consult a doctor for the right guidance.

Female | 16
When a situation like this arises, your nose can easily get very sensitive and even start to hurt. It can be that you may also find yourself sneezing or coughing a lot. To help with this, first, gently blow your nose to get rid of any leftover oil and then rinse your nose with cool water.
