Answered on 18th June '24
With an ear infection, you may feel pain, pressure, and muffled hearing. Antibiotics are commonly used to cure ear problems derived from bacteria. Among the medications used to treat ear infections, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are usually not included. Moreover, you are even encouraged to consult with an ENT specialist if you suspect any ear infection, and then a proper treatment plan will be recommended.

My boy is of 12 years and he is having tonsils in his neck… there is normal tonsils Madicine has finished
Male | 12
Your son has enlarged tonsils, he slows down when sick. These can make the throat hurt, make it hard to swallow, or even block some air. Helping him stay comfortable might include giving him lots of things to drink and soft things to eat. Make a doctor’s appointment if he seems very uncomfortable or it’s hard for him to breathe.

Female | 42
You need immediate medical attention by an ENT. Your ear examination and audiological assessment is of extreme importance for prompt treatment.
Tab Vertin aggravates acid reflux, adding an antacid will help with the nausea.

It seems like you are experiencing tearing in your eyes and ulcers in your mouth after eating, along with throat irritation. These symptoms could be due to an allergic reaction or an underlying gastrointestinal issue. It is important to consult an ENT specialist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

sir my right side ear blok please any madecin for me
Male | 24
You might have a clogged right ear. The feeling you’re having comes from earwax or a slight infection. It may occur due to putting objects in your ears or having a respiratory infection. You can try OTC ear drops to dissolve the wax. Refrain from inserting anything into your ear and avoid exposure to loud noises. If that doesn’t work, it’s advisable to consult with a ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I have ear infection too much pain face swelling
Male | 25
You may be suffering from an ear infection. The infection itself is responsible for the pain and swelling in your face. Ear infections develop as a result of the bacteria or virus that infects your ear. On one hand, they may disappear on their own without treatment; on the other hand, if the problem is serious, you should take medicine prescribed by an ENT specialist. Applying a warm cloth to your ear is a good way to soothe the pain for now.

I got into a car crash back in April 2022 when I was 17 years old. I took my eyes off the road was fiddling with the car radio, my head was turned towards the right and I crash the passenger side of my car into a telephone pole and all the airbags deployed. I didn’t get any facial or body injuries. I got diagnosed with bilateral tinnitus from an ENT doctor but they didn’t find any damage when they did a physical examination. I did a hearing test and I have a little bit of hearing loss. Based on my hearing test is my tinnitus permanent or temporary?
Male | 19
Tinnitus either lasts temporarily or permanently, based on what causes it. With your hearing loss, your tinnitus could become long-term. It's crucial to continue seeing your ENT doctor. They'll evaluate further and monitor your condition properly.

Female | 13
You might have some ear pain and swelling. When your ear aches and swells, it could be an ear infection. Ear infections can occur when tiny organisms like bacteria and viruses penetrate the ear. Go to an ENT specialist and they will prescribe you medication to treat the infection and improve your health.

I have glandular fever and was wondering if I should go into hospital or if there’s anything I can do to lessen the symptoms as my tonsils are very swollen and it hurts to talk and swallow my saliva as well as eat and drink
Female | 17
Glandular fever, also known as infectious mononucleosis, could be causing your symptoms. This viral illness makes tonsils swell and hurt badly. You may have a sore throat, swollen glands, and feel exhausted. To ease discomfort, rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and take pain medication if needed. If swallowing is difficult, eat soft foods and avoid rough or spicy items. Consult an ENT doctor if symptoms worsen.

i have sore throat since a week , head ach , nose is swelling with eyes and have some fever especially at mid night
Male | 33
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.

My mouth and throat are almost always dry which causes sore throat.What should i do now?
Female | 18
You may have dryness in your mouth and throat, causing your throat to dry. This may happen when you are not drinking enough fluids or if the air around you is too dry. To alleviate this issue, ensure you drink plenty of water and use a humidifier in the bedroom where possible. Additionally, sucking on sugarless candies can help stimulate saliva production. However, if these suggestions do not provide relief, consider seeking help from an ENT specialist.

Ever since I was diagnosed with allergies rhinitis I can't stop producing clear mucus and Iits been six months
Female | 22
It is caused when the body is fighting off allergens, such as dust and pollen, in the nasal passages. This kind of disease is seasonal and it may become severe if not controlled. Employing saltwater nasal sprays, keeping away from various triggers like dust, and staying hydrated can reduce the production of the excreted mucus.

I have a white sore in the rear of my throat. It’s been there for about a week. Seems to be getting better
Male | 30
Your sore throat seems typical. A white area behind your throat lasting weekly might indicate a viral illness. This often brings soreness, difficulty swallowing, and possibly mild fever. Consuming warm liquids and resting plenty aids your immune response. However, if symptoms persist or breathing becomes difficult, visit an ENT specialist promptly.

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.

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.

Male | 24
You may have developed an ear infection from wearing headphones too often. The pain near your jaw and ear could signal this issue. Prolonged headphone use can sometimes trap bacteria, leading to infections. Take a break from using headphones, and try applying a warm cloth to the affected ear area. However, if the discomfort persists, it would be wise to consult an ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
