What can I do for stinging, burning ear pain?

I am a 54 yr old female . I got tinnitus and earache last year. The earache remains, stinging, sharp deep pain every day. No infections seen or other symptoms. I only got a clicking jaw this week. Ear was cleaned of excess fluid and was neurotic last year. I had been given lots ear drops over mths as thought was infections but consultant told me no infections. I think it may me nerve pain. Pain relief don't help much. What can I do to relieve the stinging, burning feeling

The like­ly cause of this is nerve pain. Pills for othe­r pains won't help this. You need to se­e a ENT specialist who deals with ne­rve pain. They will find the right tre­atment for you.

About three weeks ago I went to the doctor with a soar throat, I struggled to swallol, my lymp nodes were swollen. She said that I had an infection and that there were ehite spots in my throat and it was swollen. She gave me antibiotics to drink for 5 days. I felt better. After a week I started tk have a sore throat again. Now my right side of my mount is droopy. What vould be wrong ?

Sounds like the previous infection has not cleared completely or there is a second viral infection that has come on. We also need to see why the frequency is so high despite medications. Kindly visit an ENT surgeon.

Your symptoms seem to suggest that you have allergies. Different symptoms including a runny nose, sore throat, and an itchy ear can characterize allergies. Dust, pollen, or keeping pets are the causes of these symptoms. It is important to keep your surroundings clean, use air filters, and take over-the-counter medication for allergies. Stay away from strong scents and consult your doctor for other treatment alternatives.

Please continue on the steroids as they are the only way to provide some stimulus to the hearing nerve in this situation. There are other medications that can be given to increase blood supply to the nerve but the best chance of nerve recovery is within the first one or two days after which the chances are unpredictable and low in most cases. Please take a follow up consult your ENT surgeon as they will keep a close watch on improvement in the nerve which usually isn't something you will be able to perceive by yourself. You need to have repeat hearing testings to watch for improvement. In all cases, do not stop the steroid abruptly!

I am 30 years old, I am facing nose dryness in summer season and also lesion, blockage, soreness in the morning. What can be the cause and what can be done to fix it?

Male | 30

You might have allergic rhinitis. That's a fancy phrase for nose­ allergies. Your body reacts to stuff like­ pollen, pet hair, and dust mites. To e­ase symptoms, use a room humidifier for moisture­. Drink lots of water too. Saline nose sprays can re­lieve dryness. If home­ remedies don't work, se­e an allergy doctor. They'll he­lp find the cause and treatme­nt for you.

I have excess ear wax which has hardened like stone.

Female | 27

Built-up ear plug can create an issue of a feeling of being uncomfortable, a reduction in one’s hearing ability, or the illusion of fullness in the ear. Mainly, it is the misuse of cleaning methods and anatomy of the jeopardized narrow ear canals. The other reason might be a skin disorder. To dissolve the wax that has become firm, try mineral oil- or saline solution-based, over-the-counter drops. To prevent earwax from being pushed deeper inside, do not use cotton swabs. If the healing process at home is ineffective or you are in pain when doing it, it is recommended to see a doctor.

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.

Fever , as well as pain in the neck and the ears could mean that there is a possibility of infection. It is important to consider visiting an ENT specialist who will examine the symptoms and offer the right treatment.
