How to clear trapped water feeling in right ear?

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?

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.

My boy is of 12 years and he is having tonsils in his neck… there is normal tonsils Madicine has finished

Male | 12

Your son has enlarged tonsils, he slows down when sick. These can make the throat hurt, make it hard to swallow, or even block some air. Helping him stay comfortable might include giving him lots of things to drink and soft things to eat. Make a doctor’s appointment if he seems very uncomfortable or it’s hard for him to breathe.

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.

Why do u loose your voice for no reason

Female | 52

When you lose­ your voice without any clear reason, it's calle­d laryngitis. Your vocal cords swell up, making you hoarse or quiet. This happe­ns due to loud talking, singing, or catching a cold. To recover quickly, avoid talking much, sip warm drinks ofte­n, and inhale steam. Within a wee­k, your voice should return to normal.

Heavy Tonsillitis and headache and cold cough and fever

Male | 27

Tonsillitis is caused by both viruses and bacteria. To feel better, you need to get adequate sleep, drink lots of fluids, and use over-the-counter painkillers. It is good to try gargling with warm salt water as well to relieve the sore throat. Severe or unbearable symptoms then visit a healthcare professional.

Am a 27 Y/O female. I got a cold about 2 weeks ago and I’m having a hard time getting over it. I still have wheezing, a wet cough, extreme fatigue, and phlegm, but my main issue is that my ear became very “stuffy” and it felt like there was fluid In Them. I wake up with drainage, and they pop often. I have pictures of my inner ear to share for more detail. I had tubes when I was young, and I had a very traumatic accident happen while they were in place, and my ears have been a pain ever since. I get extremely painful pressure when I fly to the point where I cry the whole flight if I don’t have my special ear plugs. And heaven forbid I get an ear infection. I cry anytime I have to put In ear drops

Female | 27

Oh i'm so sorry to hear your symptoms. It sounds like there is a lot going on in the ear canal and the tube connecting the ear to the nose which we call- The eustachian tube. Please visit your nearest ent who will do an endoscopy of the ear, get the hearing and e tube function evaluation and assess for chronic issues to ensure it doesn't get worse with time.

My grandfather age is 69 before 4 months he had second brain stroke now he has cough in his throat which not come out from his mouth so please doctor how to remove cough from throat

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.
