I am feelings so much pain inside my ear canal. I don't know why. Yesterday I used small stick to remove my ear wax and today it is paining. Don't know whether it is because of ear infection or heavy wax, so iam here to consult on this problem. Please help me.

Using small sticks to remove ear wax can be risky as it might push the wax deeper or harm the sensitive skin inside. Pains in the ear canal may occur due to infections, direct contact with a stick, or blocking the ear with wax. I recommend not using sticks in the ears. To relieve the pain, you can try using a warm compress on the outside of the ear and avoid putting anything in the ear canal. If the pain does not cease or worsen, consult an ENT specialist.

I have clod fever and headache.. how to control it .. what's the best treatment
Female | 16
A fever and headache usually tell you that the body is busy throwing away an infection from it, such as a cold virus. Consume plenty of fluids, take rest, and you can also take “over-the-counter” pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help with a headache and fever. Besides, soaking in a warm shower or using a humidifier will resolve your stuffy nose too. If the symptoms worsen consult a doctor.

Hello Dr , I am 45 years old and having benign tumor in parotid gland so pls advise on cist of surgery and recovery period pls
Male | 45
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.

पहले गले में सूजन का आना फिर गांठ का होना और दो दिन बाद कान के बाहरी हिस्सो मे सूजन के आने के क्या कारण हैं
Male | 14
A cyst, a fluid-filled sac, may be causing your symptoms. It forms in various body parts like the neck and outer ear. Swelling in the neck and a lump could signal a cyst. Cysts develop due to blocked glands or hair follicles. Consulting an ENT specialist is crucial. They'll evaluate and treat the cyst properly. Treatment options include draining the cyst or surgical removal if needed.

I am a 16 year old male, and I have been experiencing earaches that sometimes come and go, it feels only a little but is disturbing, it first happened in the right ear and then in the left ear and has been going on for more than 2 months until now, I have visited an ENT doctor and was told that my ear paper is fine, just a little red and was prescribed antibiotics and painkillers for a week but that seems to be gone a month ago, I have been feeling the pain until now, I never cover my ears when I shower because I have OCD, I also always use earphones but since I had the earache I have used the volume one to three, and I also seem to hear a whooshing and ticking sound often,
Male | 15
You've been struggling with earaches for a long time already. The redness of the ears is a sign of inflammation. Your earphones habit and not covering your ears while showering may have some impact on this problem. The whooshing and ticking sound you hear might be connected to the earaches. It may be better to reduce earphone usage and keep your ears dry. When the pain doesn't go away, check with your ENT doctor for additional tests.

Right ear voice not responding
Male | Utkarsh singh
You might be having some issues with your ear if the sound coming from your right ear is not working as it should. This could be the result of a foreign object blocking the ear canal or a malfunction of the nerves in the ear. To solve this, you should consult an audiologist who is a specialist in hearing disorders. The audiologist will be able to diagnose the problem and also help you improve your hearing.

Male | 26
It sounds like you have a possible ear infection, which is common with flu. Green mucus suggests a bacterial infection. It's best to see an ENT specialist to get the right treatment. Do not delay, as ear infections can worsen.

I have some sort of lumps on my tonsil for the last few months i noticed.
Female | 38
There must be concern about the lumps on your tonsil. They might mean an infection, for example, tonsillitis, which will make the throat swell and hurt. Additional signs could be trouble swallowing, fever, and halitosis. Whatever the lumps are, see an ENT specialist to get them treated.

Male | 25
You are probably having some side effects from Candid ear drops. The burning sensation and the ear blockage that happened repeatedly could be caused by an allergic reaction or irritation from the drops. It is important to stop using the drops and avoid putting anything else in your ear. Get the right treatment from an ENT doctor and ensure that your ear heals properly.

मुझे नाक मैं प्रोब्लम है मेरा नाक अंदर से बंद है उसमे फोड़ा जैसा कुछ है
Male | 17
Your stuffy nose and lump point to an infection. Viruses, and bacteria, get in your nose, leading to these symptoms. Pain or swelling could accompany it too. Stay hydrated, get some rest, and use saline spray - this might help clear things up. But if it sticks around, you may need to talk to an ENT specialist.

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
Male | 20
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.

My ear has had weird pressure changes over the last year and has random drainage. When I clean it out, it’s always dark brown/goopy and smells really bad. Today I just pulled out a big glob of something blueish/gray and thought it was a bug. What should I do?
Male | 26
You might have an infection in your ear, which is causing the weird variations in pressure, dark brown/goopy drainage, bad smell, and the blueish/grey glob you found. It's called otitis externa. It's important to see an Ent specialist doctor on time to get the right medications. Refrain from inserting anything inside your ear or getting it wet.

Male | 20
You may have a sinus infection. This will include pain in the eyes and face, plus a fever, headache, and stomach pain. Sinus infections are typically treated by resting, drinking a lot of water, and antibiotics if it is severe. Visit an ENT specialist for this. Remember to take care and also rest as much as you can.

Female | 40
Ear infections can happen and go away. The medicine helps reduce pain and swelling. Use it properly, one ear at a time. See if it assists with discomfort. If concerns persist or pain stays, inform an ENT specialist immediately. Follow instructions carefully for the best results. Consistent treatment prevents worsening symptoms. Don't hesitate to update your physician if issues remain.

pain in left ear can't sleep at night since 7days flued come out when i go to bad
Male | 43
It looks like your left ear is infected. Ear pain and trouble sleeping might be the result of the infection you have. The drainage of the liquid in your sleep is an indication of the infection getting discharged. The ear is the most common site of infections and sometimes the yeast infectious ways matched can be compatible with some types of bacteria. Ensure that the ear is clean and dry. The right treatment should be gotten only through seeking specialized medical attention from an ENT specialist.
