It may be that you are having a case of the common cold. The symptoms you mentioned, like the sore throat, headache, swollen nose and eyes, and fever mostly at night, are typical ones of a cold. Colds are caused by viruses spread when the person close to you is coughing or sneezing. Get plenty of rest, drink fluids, and take over-the-counter medicines to help with the symptoms. If you are not feeling better in a few days, you can visit an ENT specialist.

A small lump under the neck can sometimes be due to a swollen lymph node, infection, or cyst. Even if the doctor said it's nothing, pain when touching it might need further checking. Consult an ENT specialist to get a proper diagnosis and rule out any serious condition.

It sounds like you're experiencing throat pain and cough, which can often stem from viral infections or irritants. Since you have no fever or runny nose, this may not be a serious concern. You can continue using throat lozenges and gargling warm salt water for comfort. Dolo 650, which contains paracetamol, can help relieve pain; just ensure you follow dosage instructions. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a physician for tailored advice.

i chocked on a stone that was sharp and pointy with multiple edges and now it feels like ive been stabbed in one specific spot in my throat and my chest hurts i have the occasional dry cough and when i swallow it feels like somethings there and a almost bubble like travels up to my ear
Female | 18
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.

Hello Dr. Puri, I got an injury on my upper nose between eyes 2 weeks back, while playing badminton doubles. I am facing some hardness and swelling between right eye and nose. Request appointment with you.
Male | 51
The swelling and firmness you are having might be due to the soft tissue damage or inflammation due to the trauma. It is necessary to be cautious about these symptoms, as they might last for some weeks. To promote adequate healing and eliminate any unknown issues, I advise you to make an appointment for an extensive assessment.

Myself Ravi 34 yrs age ,I am deaf from one ear from last 5 years & hearing from only one ear but recently i feel lots of pressure in left ear also when I taik much so I want your feedback. I want to know can I live normal with one ear & will their be any impact on my one ear if I taik more in my daily life
Male | 35
Pressure in your left ear can be due to various reasons, like ear infections or changes in air pressure. Talking more usually doesn’t cause ear problems. However, it's important to protect your hearing by avoiding loud noises. If you have concerns or experience discomfort, it's okay to live with one ear, but do consult an ENT specialist if needed.

Male | 20
It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of fullness in your ear due to earwax build-up. This can lead to discomfort but is usually manageable. Avoid using cotton swabs, as they may push the wax deeper. Instead, warm water or saline solution can help soften it. Over-the-counter ear drops can also assist. However, if the discomfort persists or worsens, please consult a ENT specialist for safe removal and evaluation.

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.

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.
Male | 21
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.

Hey I have a visible epiglottis and a little bit of tonsils at the back of my tongue I have had a heartburn but not anymore the epiglottis is still visible and so are the tonsils ( only 2 now) but they are not painful but I just feel like something is stuck on the right side my throat whenever I swallow saliva and a little bit of a burning sensation after taking an acid reflux medication. Is it normal or a sign of throat cancer
Female | 20
A visible epiglottis and slightly enlarged tonsils can be normal for some people, but the sensation of something stuck in your throat and the burning after taking acid reflux medication might need further evaluation. These symptoms are not necessarily a sign of throat cancer, but it's important to get them checked. I strongly recommend visiting an ENT specialist to assess your condition and provide the right advice.

Since 2 weeks, I have persistently sound is coming in my ears what is the issue possible? Im 55 years old Since 10 days im taking augmentan antibiotic 625 mg twice a day After this issue arises or due to this sound is coming, there is also little pain arises in my right ear and right side of my jaw teeth Problem is the same, the sound is still coming with the pain
Male | 55
A buildup behind your eardrum might cause the noise. Your ear and jaw ache may relate to this otitis media (middle ear infection). Antibiotics aid, but seeing an ENT specialist for assessment and care is wise. They'll determine if fluid accumulates, resulting in the symptoms you describe.

Feeling repeated sound in ear when someone says something and having history of ringing in years
Male | 18
You might have a medical condition known as "tinnitus". It can be accompanied by ringing in the ears and even the illusion of hearing someone else’s voice echoing. Causes could be exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even stress. In this regard, you should reduce your exposure to environmental noise, stress-excessively manage your life without resorting to medicines, and use background noise.

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.

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.

Hi doctor I have nasal drip from last two months and not getting well and i am allergic to cocunut and have sometimes green mucus coming from mouth sometimes why
Male | 14
Lingering nasal drips have mucus flowing down your throat's back constantly. Green mucus often signifies an infection. Being allergic to coconut might irritate and worsen this issue. To relieve symptoms, use saline nasal sprays and stay hydrated well. If it doesn't get better, consider consult an allergist/ ENT specilaist who can help further.

If you have a sensation of fullness and muffled hearing along with a beeping sound, you may have a condition called tinnitus. A sensation of tinnitus may be due to some causes like ear infections, loud noises, or even stress. To this end, you should avoid exposure to loud sounds, manage stress, and consider seeking advice from an ENT doctor for further evaluation.

I have ichy and dry throat for 2 weeks. What I need to do?
Female | 51
Having an itchy, dry throat can be annoying, especially if it’s been going on for two weeks. It could be caused by allergies, a virus, or even dry air. You might feel a scratchy sensation when swallowing or talking, and you might also experience coughing or a hoarse voice. To soothe your throat, drink plenty of water, use a humidifier, and suck on lozenges. If it doesn’t get better, have it checked by an ENT specialist.

I went to barber shop yesterday . While cutting my ear hair by a hair trimmer there was a cut and blood came . Am I at risk of hiv
Male | 38
You can relax, getting a little scratch on your hand from a trimmer at the hairdresser's doesn't make you prone to falling ill with HIV. HIV doesn't transfer itself through minor bruises, though. Keep it dry and worry about any visible symptoms that could manifest, e.g., redness, swelling, or pain. In case it does not improve or if you feel concerned, you can also make an appointment with a doctor s you can get a peace of mind.

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.
