Why Is My Nose Swollen After Inhaling Food?
I woke up this morning with a swollen nose on one side of my nose, I think it might be an allergic reaction, because I inhaled food that someone was cooking it was very strong and I started sneezing and bringing out mucus and woke up to a painful swollen nose

It appears that a congestion in the nose is the result of the body's backlash to an allergen you are coming into contact with. When the powerful aroma reached your lungs, your body probably sneezed and let out mucus. Causing the nose to be inflamed, most likely on one side only. A saline spray can relieve the swelling and alleviate the pain. Take care to avoid the foods that cause your symptoms.

My brother is having a chaterize procedure today but he notice that his right ear is bleeding not much
Male | 59
Bleeding a bit after getting your ears chaterized isn't rare. You may experience swelling or irritation in the ear canal, which leads to this. If bleeding is light and doesn't happen often, it should stop on its own. Use a damp cloth to gently clean around the ear, but don't put anything inside. Contact an ENT specialist immediately if bleeding persists or worsens.

I have inside tongue pain which goes inside my ear I feel like someone is hitting my ear when I swallow and I feel vomiting sensation often at evening
Female | 13
You may have tonsillitis. It can be felt in your tongue, ear, and throat. The pain may be so severe when swallowing that it feels as though your ear is being struck. Feeling sick in the evenings is not uncommon either. A virus or bacteria can cause the condition. Drinking lots of water, getting plenty of rest, and consuming soft foods can be helpful. For further treatment, a visit to an ENT specialist may be necessary.

I am a 24-year-old bachelor student. I have been experiencing a persistent runny nose, frequent sneezing, nasal blockage, and difficulty breathing through both nostrils as one is always blocked alternately. These symptoms worsen when I consume cold drinks or fruits. Additionally, physical exercise and changes in the environment exacerbate my condition. This has been ongoing for the past year, and despite seeking treatment from 2-3 doctors, including homeopathy, I have not found relief. Now, I am exhausted from the ongoing symptoms and would like to identify the root cause and pursue appropriate treatment.

You might have allergic rhinitis, triggered by things like pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. Seeing an allergist can help identify your triggers and recommend treatments such as avoiding allergens, taking medications, or getting allergy shots. Proper treatment is important for feeling better and enjoying life without discomfort.

I’m having Frequent nose bleeds. I’ve had them since a child. Even a slight touch inside the nose will cause a nose bleed or even if soemthing hits my nose gently it bleeds. The nose bleeds lasts for about 10/15 minutes per time and it’s a heavy nose bleed. I have my septum pierced and it only bleeds from the left nostril but even before I had the piercing it kept bleeding. I coughed the other day and it started bleeding and I even woke up and it started bleeding
Female | 22
Your nose issue is a nasal septum deviation. That means your nose's middle part is off-center. One nostril's blood vessels are more exposed, causing bleeding. The piercing might worsen it. To reduce nosebleeds, keep your nose moist with saline solution. Don't pick or rub your nose. Consider visiting an ENT expert for evaluation and treatment.

Ear infections can happen and go away. The medicine helps reduce pain and swelling. Use it properly, one ear at a time. See if it assists with discomfort. If concerns persist or pain stays, inform an ENT specialist immediately. Follow instructions carefully for the best results. Consistent treatment prevents worsening symptoms. Don't hesitate to update your physician if issues remain.

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.

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.

It was cold. Blood is coming out of the nose. Even spit. It's been 2 days
Male | 27
Nosebleeds can happen because the air is dry or if you sneeze a lot. If you are spitting blood with a bleeding nose, it might be from the back of your nose. Sit straight up, pinch your nose, and breathe through your mouth. If it doesn’t stop, get help from an ENT specialist.

Unilateral nasal obstruction or one-sided stuffed nose is another name for this type of blockage. Allergies, infections such as sinusitis, and even the common cold can result in this. Additionally, other symptoms may include sneezing, a runny nose, and difficulty breathing. To help clear the blockage, you can use over-the-counter decongestants, saline nasal sprays, or a humidifier. If there is no improvement after a few days see an ENT specialist.

I am 35 yrs old male and I have problem with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Is there any treatment for this problem
Male | 35
A routine brain MRI with attention to the internal auditory meatus should be requested in acute cases where no cause is detected and idiopathic origin is assumed. These individuals are usually started on oral corticosteroids with a prednisone dose of 1 mg/kg/day (max 60 mg/day) for seven days and then decreased during the following week.
Hearing aids, of which there are many sorts, are the basis of treatment in chronic situations. Even in mild or severe cases of presbycusis, hearing aids are beneficial to the majority of patients. [19] There is no way to restore former hearing thresholds, and due to psychosocial comorbidities, audiological rehabilitation support is especially necessary in these patients.
The most prevalent equipment for treating hearing loss are traditional behind-the-ear air conduction hearing aids.
Hearing aids with bilateral microphones and contralateral signal routing (BiCROS) are similar, but a microphone also helps the better hearing ear on the same side.

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.
