Having an hoarness of voice since last 7 week , what to do

Male | 44

A hoarse voice for a whopping 7 weeks is a long time, a while for you to be concerned about the fact that it may be serious. Hoarseness, however, can be linked to some conditions such as a cold, acid reflux, or voice overuse. To help your voice heal, try drinking lots of water, using your voice as little as possible, and resting your voice. If it doesn't get better soon, it's a good idea to see an ENT specialist.

I am breast feeding a baby. For last few days i have pain in thorat and fever. I have taken erthyromycin 4 times in 2 days but its not working. Kindly siggest medicine which for throat pain ,fever which is safe during breast feeding

Female | 28

You likely have an infection in your throat, resulting in pain and fever. Since erythromycin didn't help, take acetaminophen to reduce fever, and Tylenol for throat discomfort. These medications are safe during breastfeeding. Drink plenty of fluids. Rest sufficiently. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist, for further evaluation.

I am 28 year old female and i have cold and sore throat yesterday afternoon onwards.

Female | 28

A cold can be expressed by symptoms like a stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat. You may be having a cough and/or a runny nose as well. To help your body recover, you should rest, drink plenty of the right kind of liquids like water and warm tea, and to relieve the discomfort of the sore throat try over-the-counter medications like throat lozenges or saline sprays.

throat pain bumps in throat synus

Male | 38

Your throat seems to have a viral germ infection. It makes your throat hurt, get bumpy, and feel stuffy. The illness spreads when people cough or sneeze germs. To feel okay, rest up, drink warm drinks, and use a humidifier. You can buy medicine for pain too. But if it doesn't get better soon, see an ENT specialist.

It's been a month for me Sore throat and yellow and white bump's on the inner wall of the throat like pharyngitis What causes it It only hurts a little while swallowing and it feels like there is something on the inner wall of the throat I'll smoke little bit and I'm worrying about this is cancer can you please explain

Female | 25

You might have pharyngitis, which is inflammation and swelling in the back of your throat. The yellow and white bumps could be pus pockets, often caused by viral or bacterial infections. Smoking can irritate your throat and make things worse, so it's a good idea to stop for a while. To soothe your throat, drink plenty of fluids, gargle with warm salt water, and avoid smoking. If the problem doesn’t improve, it’s best to see an ENT specialist for further advice and treatment.

I think a little bug fly up my nose but i dont have any syptoms.what should i do?

Female | 18

Most often bugs that fly into the nose get trapped in the architecture or get entrapped in the mucus of the nose and drain down from the back of the nose down the throat which is barely even perceive. To be on the side of vigilance, Watch for any signs of nasal block, persistent runny nose from one side or any signs of infections/ sneezing in the next few days to weeks if you're concerned about it being lodged and have had secondary infection. In case any of these symptoms, you may need to see an ENT to get an evaluation and can be managed very easily.

First of all, I woke up with a weird feeling in my mouth. My saliva was extremely dry…I had to try take water but then I realized something shocking. It was initially tough to swallow my saliva like I had a sore throat but that wasn’t it. I felt my uvula come towards my tongue when I tried to gag. I checked the mirror and saw that my uvula got very long just overnight

Male | 24

Uvulitis is when your uvula swells up. The uvula hangs at the back of your throat. Infections, allergies, or snoring while asleep can cause it. You might feel something in your throat. Swallowing may be difficult, and your throat might hurt. Drinking lots of water helps. Gargling warm saltwater soothes. If symptoms don't go away, see an ENT specialist.

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.

This must be managed as early as possible as all forms of rehabilitation work best when the child is younger ideally under 4 years of age. Please do not delay management.

My body hurts a lot, fever is special. Or the inner world of the eyes, when I look at the other side Then I feel pain.Along with this there is also headache. And there is pain in the stomach too

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.

I went to a ENT specialist last week who removed some earwax plug from my right ear. Since last week my ear feels itchy inside sometimes, whenever I start being active with it (moving it or touching it with my finger). What can be the cause ? Probably not earwax as I went to the doctor last week.

Male | 31

The ear getting treated for wax buildup is fantastic news! However, itchiness in the ear canal post-procedure may occur. This results from skin irritation caused by disturbance during cleaning. Don't insert objects or scratch inside your ear. This discomfort should subside naturally. But if symptoms worsen, consult your ENT specialist immediately.

Enlarged lymph node for 2 years- doesn’t protrude out of neck can get neck ache when looking at laptop no other symptoms

Female | 20

Having a swollen lymph node in your neck for a long period isn't normal. Since it's been there awhile and hurts when using your laptop, checking with a doctor makes sense. This lasting lump could come from an infection or inflammation nearby. Seeing a ENT specialist will help discover the reason and the right treatment approach.

My back forehead is pulling by force all of my head towards it also stiff neck on left side and confusion...I have severe sinusitis and large antrochaoanal polyps in my left side nose and continuous nasal congestion of yellow discharge and white colour lastly there

Male | 30

The symptoms that you mentioned such as the pressure in your forehead, stiff neck, and confusion could be due to severe sinusitis and polyps on the left nostril. The presence of the discharge of yellow and white, as well as the nasal congestion, is a clear indication of a sinus problem. Medication such as sinus sprays, antibiotics, or surgery mainly to clear the polyps is used. You had better consult an ENT specialist who will provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the proper treatment for you.

My right ear is getting clogged from past 2 days how to get rid of it

Female | 19

You might have a hearing problem. Among the usual suspects are a hair wax overload, a blade of fluid, or, on a possible ear infection note. This blockage can manifest as symptoms such as loss of hearing, fullness, or dizziness. To assist in clearing your ear, try tilting your head to the side and gently pulling on your earlobe. Alternatively, you can look for over-the-counter ear drops that help soften the earwax with antibiotics. If the blockage persists to is accompanied by pain or fever, it is important to visit an ENT specialist.

Male | 20

The ear canal can be clogged and uncomfortable when wax builds up and gets removed, which can sometimes result in swelling and sulking. This may make you think your ear is blocked and may cause you pain when burping or swallowing. To help unclog your ear, try using warm olive oil drops to soften any remaining wax. You can also try gently irrigating your ear with warm water to help clear out any residue. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to seek further advice from your ENT specialist.

Best is to take nasal decongestant sprays for a short duration as prescribed by your physician. It's locally acting, quick relief and a negligible amount is absorbed into the circulation.

I was suffering from viral fever in the last week. On 30th December 2024 i felt symptoms of Eustachian tube dysfunction (even have sinus issues) and yesterday for the first time i had a pain in the mastoid bone of my ear, it's swollen and red too and the pain in spread out in my half face (upper jaw teeth pain), neck pain and all... In the past i had issues related to TMJ where while chewing my jaw used to get locked and have suffered serious neck ache like the one I'm having right now in addition to the pain in throat (especially while swallowing).. do i have mastoiditis??

Female | 17

You seem to have a few very worrying symptoms, which are earache and swelling, that are a hint at an ear infection and, in some cases, mastoiditis. Your facial, neck, and throat discomfort may be connected as well. The matter of getting you checked out is to have all aspects of your position estimated. Your history of TMJ and headaches could be the other causes of the discomfort. There are treatments that could work, such as those that lessen the swelling and the pain, and they may produce the result you want. Finally, the accurate examination must be conducted by a physician.
