Blockage of ear, ear sensitivity of noise and tinnitus is apart of pregnancy symptoms? I’m 9 months pregnant
Female | 42
It is quite common to have ear symptoms such as blockage, sensitivity to noise, and tinnitus during pregnancy. These changes are caused by the additional blood flow and hormonal fluctuations that affect your ears. Besides, you may also notice that your hearing changes. First, try a warm compress on your ear and avoid loud noises. If the symptoms persist, mention them to an ENT specialist.

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.

Mere Kan band hai mujhe awaaz nahin a Rahi
पुरुष | 22
You seem to have a hearing problem caused by the sensation of blockage in the ears. This is the result of earwax that has built up and caused the ear canal to be blocked. Don't use cotton swabs that may push the wax deeper in. Rather, opt for eardrops that can dissolve the wax and allow it to come out naturally. If the issue endures, get an ENT specialist to look at it.

I have pain while swallowing
Female | 25
This could happen because of a sore throat or infection. Other possibilities are acid reflux or swallowing something sharp accidentally. If it continues for several days, getting it checked is wise. Warm drinks or soft foods might provide relief. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is crucial too. Take a break from spicy or rough textures until it passes.

Female | Kiran Pandey
It sounds like you’re experiencing discomfort and drainage from your ear, which can be caused by an infection or congestion. Pain and fluid can occur if there's inflammation in the ear canal or middle ear. Using ear drops is a good start, but if the pain persists, it may indicate a need for further assessment. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a ENT Specialist who can evaluate your condition and provide appropriate treatment. Taking care of your ear health is essential, and a doctor will ensure you receive the best possible care.

I accidentally drink lizoil through the nose and my nose is burning
Female | 16
When a situation like this arises, your nose can easily get very sensitive and even start to hurt. It can be that you may also find yourself sneezing or coughing a lot. To help with this, first, gently blow your nose to get rid of any leftover oil and then rinse your nose with cool water.

You should immediately contact a pediatrician or an ENT specialist to check out the symptoms of your child.

Hi! I am 25 years old female I have severe pain and seellung in my ear I have been sick with flu from last week when it was clear my ear pain started. In my past i have ruptured ear drum but using ear drops my infection cleared After six years i again sick with ear infection
Female | 25
Pain and swelling in your ear can result from infections, especially following flu symptoms. Since you have a history of eardrum issues, it's crucial to monitor these symptoms closely. Utilizing warm compresses may provide temporary relief, and over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort. However, I strongly advise consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough examination. They can determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or further care.

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.

Hello. I am 21 years old male. Last night I took a tablet for tooth ache and after taking I was feeling that it is still stuck in my throat. After a hour I went to sleep with the same feeling that the tablet is stuck in my throat. I am a bit confused that while I am sleeping the tablet may have entered the windpipe instead of food pipe. Is it possible that it entered the windpipe while I am sleeping and not letting me know that it had entered the windpipe. I would be really grateful to know the answer.
Male | 21
When a tablet feels stuck in the throat, it is usually in the esophagus instead of the trachea. You would cough a lot if it got into the windpipe. Sometimes, it can be a feeling of something getting stuck in the throat because the tablet is dissolved for some time. Drinking water may assist it in its journey downward. However, if you experience difficulty breathing or acute pain, get medical treatment as soon as possible.

My uvula has elongated into my throat after I woke up from sleep this morning about 2hrs ago. It's making swallowing a bit unconfortable. My breathing is fine for now and it's not painful for now. I've gargled with salty warm water.
Male | 29
Concerns about an elongated uvula are understandable and can be caused by factors such as dehydration, allergies, or inflammation. Considering you are merely feeling a little weirdness while swallowing but breathing is okay, it may not be a life-threatening event. Saltwater gargling is the first step to getting relief. Alongside that, drinking water is just as important. When things get worse, or you face such a problem as shortness of breath, and increased pain, please consult an ENT specialist.

Throat pain in 2 days help me to solve this issue
Male | 23
Throat discomfort can arise from various factors such as viral infections, allergies, or irritation from smoke and pollutants. Common signs include soreness, difficulty swallowing, or a scratchy sensation. For relief, try warm salt water gargles, staying hydrated, and using throat lozenges. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can also help. If symptoms persist or worsen after a couple of days, please consider visiting a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice and evaluate any underlying issues.

You might have an inflamed lymph node or possibly a salivary gland issue. Since the pain increases with chewing and swallowing, it's important to visit an ENT specialist.

Ears are block, hurts very little, hearing like mini beats in my right ear, no medications taken
Male | 18
It sounds like you may be experiencing a mild blockage in your ear, potentially caused by earwax buildup, sinus issues, or changes in pressure. The sensation of rhythmic sounds could be linked to fluid movement or minor changes in your ear's function. Staying hydrated and gently yawning or swallowing may help relieve discomfort. However, to ensure a proper assessment and appropriate treatment, I recommend consulting a ENT specialist. They can provide a thorough examination and tailored advice.

i have a ear ache on my right ear after lying on my right side for too long with headphones.
Female | 13
Having headphones on while lying on your side for long periods can cause pain in your ear. This happens due to pressure and friction in the ear canal. To ease earache symptoms, take breaks from wearing headphones frequently. Apply a warm compress to the affected ear. Avoid sleeping on that side until the pain goes away. If discomfort continues, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist.

Dry throat is a condition that can be caused by several factors such as dehydration, infections, or even side effects of medications. You should be glad to know that your proactive approach has already been able to help you. To alleviate your dry throat try drinking more water, using humidifiers, and sucking on lozenges. If still the dryness persists, think of going back to your doctor for further assessment.

My right side of tonsil is bigger than left side from last one year but since last year it was painless but from last one week it's pains while eating and swallowing and some white patch are also came there .
Male | 21
You might have tonsillitis, where your tonsils (the two lumps at the back of your throat) become swollen and inflamed. This can be caused by bacteria or viruses. The inflammation could be why you feel pain while eating and swallowing, and the white patches indicate an infection. It's important to see an ENT specilaist, as they may recommend antibiotics to treat the infection. Meanwhile, drink plenty of fluids and avoid very hot or spicy foods.
