Why did I suddenly lose hearing in left ear?
I am a 20 year old male, last wednesday night I suddenly lost hearing in my left ear. I was diagnosed at an urgent care with OME, but I am concerned as my left ear is 100% deaf and that is not usually a symptom of OME

OME stands for Otitis Media with Effusion. It causes the middle ear to become filled with fluids. It usually follows a cold, and in most cases, does not result in complete deafness. If the hearing loss is rapid and strong, it can be something else. You need to consult an ENT specialist for more tests.

I cant hear properly for last 7 days (left ear) I think, its because of heavy ear wax. I once had this problem. So i guessed it. Now what should i do?
Female | 23
Ear wax buildup blocks sound. That could explain hearing trouble. You hear worse in one ear. Also, ear fullness, and discomfort too. Try ear drops first, and soften the wax. If that doesn't work, see an ENT specialist. They can remove the wax safely.

Having an hoarness of voice since last 7 week , what to do
Male | 44
A hoarse voice for a whopping 7 weeks is a long time, a while for you to be concerned about the fact that it may be serious. Hoarseness, however, can be linked to some conditions such as a cold, acid reflux, or voice overuse. To help your voice heal, try drinking lots of water, using your voice as little as possible, and resting your voice. If it doesn't get better soon, it's a good idea to see an ENT specialist.

My son 12 + suffering from tonsils last ten days .... antibiotics also given to him but he is allergic with Amoxicillin, ...He treated from bl Kapoor, with pcm, attarax & avil, cepodem 200mg....He feel pain in ears because of tonsils what medicine should give.... please reply fast
Male | 12
I understand your concern about your son's adenotonsils and ear infection. The tonsils could be causing his ear pain since they are close by in the throat. To help with the pain, you can give him acetaminophen (PCM). Make sure he continues the prescribed medications, drinks plenty of fluids, gets enough rest, and eats soft, cool foods to soothe his throat. If his symptoms don’t improve or worsen, please see the doctor again for further tests.

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.

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.

Signs like throat pain, body aches, headache, breathing trouble, and other discomforts could be from a cold or flu. These viral illnesses spread quickly. Resting up, drinking fluids, and using OTC meds may ease symptoms.

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.

Good evening. I had a sore throat on Thursday. The next two days I had no symptoms except Sunday and then I have a mild headache that worsens with vigorous movements and weakened mucus. It is accompanied by green mucus and fevers (mainly in the afternoon for the last two days) ranging from 36.9°C to 37.7°C. Can you tell me what to do to deal with it and what are the possible causes as I am worried? Thanks!"
Male | 15
You have a sore throat, headache, green mucus, and fevers. These symptoms can belong to the respiratory infection and can be treated with antibiotic rest and a lot of fluids. It's necessary to stay hydrated, sleep properly, and think about using a humidifier. If symptoms continue, it's a good idea to visit an ENT doctor.

Good evening,,i have alot of mucus even while am not sick,which medicine should i use to stop mucus
Female | 22
Dealing with excess mucus without illness feels very bothersome. The mucus might happen due to allergies, irritants, or weather changes. An over-the-counter saline nasal spray helps. It thins mucus, so you clear your nose easier. But read instructions carefully on medication labels.

Male | 24
You may have developed an ear infection from wearing headphones too often. The pain near your jaw and ear could signal this issue. Prolonged headphone use can sometimes trap bacteria, leading to infections. Take a break from using headphones, and try applying a warm cloth to the affected ear area. However, if the discomfort persists, it would be wise to consult an ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

I am 16 year old boy with neck swellling it has been going on for 3 days now
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.

I'm a 21 year old female experiencing serious pain around the ear-neck region and I'm to prepare for a test tomorrow but I can't even study due to the pains
Female | 21
It might be helpful to know that the pain you feel in the ear and neck might have been caused by an infection in the ear or neck muscles that are too tight. Additionally, pain gets even worse when a person is stressed sometimes. Try to take some time off your studies and relax, use a warm cloth or over-the-counter painkillers may relieve this pain. Ensure you get enough sleep too. If this continue, please consult an ENT specialist.

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.

You're dealing with a throat infection, along with swelling, weight loss, fatigue, and difficulty swallowing. These symptoms could stem from infections, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances. It's important to follow up with an ENT specialist for a proper checkup and treatment. In the meantime, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, avoid smoking and hot food, and eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables to support your immune system.

Feel like something stuck in throat
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.

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.
