According to your statement, I think that you have a swollen lymph node because you have an ear infection. It is better to consult an ENT specialist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

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.

I have a sore throat and difficulty swallowing

Male | 24

The common cold, flu, or an infection could be responsible for these. Resting, drinking plenty of fluids such as warm teas or soups, and gargling with warm salt water are the best things to do. Eating soft foods and avoiding spicy or acidic foods can also help. If it's getting worse or not getting better after a few days, it's important to let your body rest and recover.

I feel like something is moving inside my ear. I have tried ointments and salt water to no avail. I have been trying for three days.

Male | 23

Please do not insert things to remove that sensation. Please get your ear looked at by nearest ent.

Ever since I was diagnosed with allergies rhinitis I can't stop producing clear mucus and Iits been six months

Female | 22

It is caused when the body is fighting off allergens, such as dust and pollen, in the nasal passages. This kind of disease is seasonal and it may become severe if not controlled. Employing saltwater nasal sprays, keeping away from various triggers like dust, and staying hydrated can reduce the production of the excreted mucus.

I think a little bug fly up my nose but i dont have any syptoms.what should i do?

Female | 18

Most often bugs that fly into the nose get trapped in the architecture or get entrapped in the mucus of the nose and drain down from the back of the nose down the throat which is barely even perceive. To be on the side of vigilance, Watch for any signs of nasal block, persistent runny nose from one side or any signs of infections/ sneezing in the next few days to weeks if you're concerned about it being lodged and have had secondary infection. In case any of these symptoms, you may need to see an ENT to get an evaluation and can be managed very easily.

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.

Female | 29

Motion sickness can strike­ when traveling makes you unste­ady. Feeling dizzy and sick might mean you're­ experiencing it mildly. On buse­s, those sensations disrupt your balance. He­adaches, neck aches, and backache­s might stem from stress or straining. To recove­r, lie down somewhere­ quiet and dark.

Dear Doctor, I'm an 18-year-old male. About 15-16 days ago, I had a really bad cold with symptoms including a sore throat, headache, and fever. After 7-8 days, my cold symptoms healed, but I still had a sore throat, hoarse voice, a completely blocked right ear, and I was constantly coughing up green mucus. Four days ago, I visited a doctor and was prescribed moxifloxacin 400mg once a day for 5 days (today is day 3). While my coughing has generally decreased, I still have a sore throat and my right ear is still blocked, although it did briefly open for a few minutes yesterday. This has been ongoing for three weeks, and I'm starting to lose hope as I'm not sure what I have or if I'll get better. In addition to moxifloxacin, here are the other medications I'm currently taking: Nasacort AQ (once a day) - today is day 6 Phenadone (twice a day) - today is day 8 Nexium (once a day) - today is day 6 Ganaton (three times a day) - today is day 6 Seretide Accuhaler Diskus (twice a day) - today is day 8 Polymer Adult Hypertonic 3% (twice a day) - today is day 3 Could you please help me understand what might be causing these persistent symptoms and advise on any further steps I should take? Thank you for your assistance.
