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.

Male | 27
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.

Is this enlarged turbinate and if so what caused it and could it go away on its own? I can’t breathe through my nose for the past two days only. Was completely normal prior to that and I was able to breathe through my nose with my mouth completely closed. Plz help
Female | 25
It sounds like you may be experiencing nasal congestion, which can occur due to factors like allergies, a respiratory infection, or environmental irritants. Swelling in the nasal passages can temporarily hinder airflow, making breathing through your nose difficult. In many cases, this condition improves on its own within a few days as inflammation subsides. To alleviate symptoms, consider using saline nasal sprays or a humidifier. Drinking plenty of fluids can also help. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.

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.

How can I stop snoring at night permanently
Male | 34
Among the leading causes of this are nasal congestion, obesity, alcoholic drinks, and sleeping posture. Should you want to cut down or completely get rid of this, think of lifestyle changes like controlling your weight, sleeping on your side, and not drinking alcohol before bedtime. Besides, using nose strips or humidifiers may help. If none of these strategies give you satisfaction, it would reinforce the importance of professional help to discover the underlying health issues and customized treatments.

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.

Female | 23
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.

This could be because of a swollen gland or infection. You should see an ENT specialist immediately so they can examine it; they might prescribe antibiotics for treatment or conduct more tests to determine the cause.

i have ear and ringing in left ear ,advice midicaine.
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.

Dear Doctor, From last couple of days i am suffering from acute pain in my throat specially while swallowing anything and also having cough with mucus but mucus is not coming out i can hear the rattling sound from my throat while coughing and after carefully examining my throat i can see that my left side of tonsil has inflammation with several white spots on it the white spots are there on both the tonsils but i can feel the extreme pain at the left side of tonsil only. I am frequently doing saline gargles but its not helping me out. Further i would request you to kindly advise some good medications for the quick relief. Thank you
Male | 41
You may be experiencing acute tonsillitis, resulting in significant discomfort while swallowing and coughing. The presence of white spots suggests a possible infection. Saline gargles are helpful, but additional treatment may be necessary. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can provide relief. Staying hydrated and using throat lozenges may also ease the pain. However, I recommend seeking a healthcare professional for a precise diagnosis and suitable medications, as they may prescribe antibiotics if a bacterial infection is present.

Hello Dr. Puri, I got an injury on my upper nose between eyes 2 weeks back, while playing badminton doubles. I am facing some hardness and swelling between right eye and nose. Request appointment with you.
Male | 51
The swelling and firmness you are having might be due to the soft tissue damage or inflammation due to the trauma. It is necessary to be cautious about these symptoms, as they might last for some weeks. To promote adequate healing and eliminate any unknown issues, I advise you to make an appointment for an extensive assessment.

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.
