You likely scratched your throat, leading to discomfort. The object may have scratched or caused swelling in your throat area. Throat pain can sometimes radiate toward the ear region. Staying hydrated by consuming ample water aids in soothing the throat discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, seeking medical attention becomes advisable.

Why I have Partial hearing loss from my left ear and when I apply pressure by closing my nose , mouth, air come out from my ear
Male | 26
The Eustachian tube is a little passage. It links your middle ear to your nose's back area. This tube can get blocked, causing partial hearing loss in that ear. When you close your mouth and nose, air might come out of your ear if you apply pressure. To help open the Eustachian tube, try yawning or chewing gum. If this issue persists, it's wise to see an ENT doctor.

My name is umar khan . I have problem in speaking diseability . I want for operation for my clear voice . if possible or speech therapy
Male | 24
You are having trouble talking clearly. This can happen due to various factors like vocal cord issues or muscle weakness. In place of surgical procedures, speech therapy should be the first step. It is important to conduct speech therapy involving exercises that can develop your speech. One of the primary methods is to try this gentler approach so that it becomes clear if it works before moving on to other solutions.

I have shortness of breath sometimes during this time when I swallow my saliva I also feel something thick like moving down my throat with my saliva and during this time if am thinking too much the thing get worst and sometimes if am watching a comedy or a funny videos I feel a lot better whenever am having shortness of breath I feel nervous or scared
Female | 18
You seem to be struggling with anxiety symptoms. Quick breathing, a choking sensation, and intense worry or fear - these often occur with anxiety. Watching comedy provides a break, letting your mind relax and alleviating discomfort. To address these feelings, practice deep breaths or talk to a psychiatrist; such methods can help manage anxiety effectively.

You may be experiencing an issue related to the ears, nose, or throat. The discomfort in your left ear and throat could signify a throat or ear infection. You may develop ear pain when you have a sore throat. Gargling with warm salt water can relieve the pain caused by a sore throat. Taking enough fluids and having sufficient rest is essential. If the pain persists, make sure you see an ENT specialist immediately so that you can be given the right medication.

My left ear has been crackling for a few months now and i got told by a nurse it was blocked and i got my ear syringed two days ago and i was hoping that would stop my ear crackling but it's still crackling after two days since i got my ear syringed is that normal?
Male | 37
Though it's a good thing you got your ear syringed, the ear still crackles which is totally normal. Occasionally, the sensation will last a little while after the procedure. Ear crackling could be the result of the presence of fluid in the middle ear or what is called Eustachian tube dysfunction. Sometimes, you can make yawning or chewing gum movements to relieve the discomfort. If it doesn't get better, see your ENT doctor for more advice.

You are likely dealing with an ear infection. The symptoms you are describing, including pain and swelling, typically accompany such an infection. You must visit an ENT specialist who can prescribe the appropriate treatment, for example, antibiotics. Use a warm compress to your ear for the moment to help with the pain.

These symptoms might be sinusitis, when infection sets into one or more of your sinuses, causing all sorts of trouble. You need an ENT doctor who will check you out properly and give treatment accordingly.

I am a 17 male who is visiting France from the US. I just got to France yesterday, but was in UK for 9 days before that. Yesterday, my dad started experiencing symptoms, and today, my mom, my sister, and I are all experiencing symptoms as well. My main symptom is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. As a tourist, our options are limited. I have started taking OTC Humex Rhume to help with symptoms.
Male | 17
You and your family may have caught a cold virus, which is highly contagious when people are in close contact. Some symptoms that come along with having a cold include a sore throat and trouble swallowing. Taking over-the-counter Humex Rhume can relieve these symptoms. Make sure to drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest.

You are suffering from pain in the right ear. According to your explanation, it is clear that the medications you have used so far have been ineffective. Ear pain can be classified by several causes such as ear infection or inflammation. Since the pain doesn't go away with the use of your medications, you must seek the advice of an ENT specialist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 18
You might have an inflammation in your right ear. This could be due to the previous fungal infection. The redness and heat you feel could be the result of your body reacting to the irritation. I advise that you see an ENT specialist so that they can check your ear and give you the right treatment.

My left ear is in hole so since 3 year but i go to surgery it increases heartbeat so surgery is cancelled but now my ear is get probblm to me then i go to brain mri so plz find the mri
Female | 28
You are dealing with problems in your left ear. That's good you're asking for help. A faster heartbeat during surgery can be scary. It may be from stress or another issue. Your ear hole could hurt. Getting a brain MRI is smart to see what's going on inside your head. The MRI gives pictures to figure out the problem. Be sure to talk to your doctor about the results and what to do next.

Dear Sir / Ma'am Pain in the throat whenever i wake up in the morning.mouth taste is also bitter .Sometimes blood also comes.
Male | 30
Pain in the throat and a bitter taste in the mouth can be signs of an underlying infection, such as a throat infection or tonsillitis. It is also possible that the symptoms are due to other causes, such as acid reflux or allergies. If you experience this symptom on a regular basis, it would be best to consult with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Your doctor may suggest further tests, such as blood tests, throat swabs, or imaging tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.

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.

Male | 14
Swell in your neck, dizziness, sweat, cough, sore throat, and headache are conditions that an infection can lead to. Infections might have caused these symptoms in such situations. It's paramount to go and see an ENT specialist so they can tell what's happening and what treatment suits you. These signs should not be ignored, they might be the first symptoms of a more severe condition whose treatment should be done quickly.

I smell something in my nostrils when I exhale heavily
Male | 20
A sinus infection could make you smell odd odors when exhaling forcefully. Stuffy noses, runny noses, headaches, and coughs frequently occur. Viruses or bacteria commonly cause sinus infections. Resting, drinking plenty of liquids, and using saline nasal drops may provide relief. However, if symptoms persist, consulting an ENT doctor is advisable.

My aunt suffering with black fungus, symptoms are observed 3 days before will she recover Please reply sir
Female | 55
Black fungus is a disease that can occur in people with weakened immune systems, like those who have uncontrolled diabetes. Symptoms can involve a stuffy nose, facial pain, swelling, and black crusts in the nose. Treatment every time requires antifungal medication and, in some cases, surgery. Recovery is possible with a good approach that includes beginning treatment early and it depends on the individual health condition. Find an ENT specialist to treat this condition.

I'm curious to know whether i have heard problem or no
Female | 20
The cause of this can be a result of, for example, ear infections, loud noises, or simply getting older. For instance, some symptoms that one may experience involve difficulty following the conversation, asking others to repeat themselves, or increasing the volume of devices. You can go to an audiologist for a hearing test. If needed, an audiologist can suggest many products from wearable hearing aids to an implanted hearing device.

I had strep and an ear infection. I went to urgent care twice. I took clindamycin for 10 days and the strep went away, so did the pain in the ear. It’s still clogged and I can’t hear much though (now 3 days past the last dose of antibiotics). There’s not pain, just pressure and little hearing. And when I yawn/blow my nose/etc it crackles like it wants to pop but it won’t clear. How long should I wait for it to clear before I go to a doctor again about it..?
Female | 25
The pressure and crackling you're feeling may be due to fluid trapped behind your eardrum, often after an infection. It usually clears on its own within a few weeks. In the meantime, you can try chewing gum, yawning, or performing the Valsalva maneuver (close your mouth, pinch your nose, and blow gently) to open the Eustachian tube. If the problem persists for more than a couple of weeks or worsens, it's best to see an ENT doctor for further treatment.
