Why Do I Have Throat Ulcers?
If I have ulcers inside my throat, what should I do and which medicine should I take?

General Physician
Answered on 25th Sept '24
You might have throat ulcers if swallowing or talking causes pain and it feels like there are sores. These ulcers can occur due to infections, acid reflux, or certain medications. Avoiding spicy, acidic foods and drinks is crucial for healing. Gargling with warm salt water can provide relief. Staying hydrated and consuming soft, easy-to-swallow foods aids recovery. However, if the discomfort persists, over-the-counter pain medication may be necessary.

One side nose block problem
Female | 30
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.

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.

My nasal allergy flares up every few days and it irritates me 24 hours a day. Taking setzine tablets makes it go away. But I want it to go away permanently. So what should I do?
Male | 36
It's great that Setzine is helping you manage your symptoms, but for a more permanent solution, it's important to identify and avoid the triggers causing your nasal allergy. You might benefit from consulting an ENT specialist who can assess your condition, suggest allergy testing, and recommend appropriate treatments like immunotherapy or lifestyle changes.

Hi Doctor I got throat problem because I got tube in my throat now I loss my voice I need to back my voice any medicine or something
Female | 21
Having a tube in your throat is difficult. The tube can irritate your throat tissues. This irritation makes your voice weak or gone. Many people have this problem after a tube. Your voice will return once irritation ends. Warm liquids soothe your throat and aid healing. Avoid straining your voice too much. If the problem persists, visit an ENT specialist.

Female | 38
There must be concern about the lumps on your tonsil. They might mean an infection, for example, tonsillitis, which will make the throat swell and hurt. Additional signs could be trouble swallowing, fever, and halitosis. Whatever the lumps are, see an ENT specialist to get them treated.

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.

Sir Suddenly I feel a stretch in the veins of my nose and head and then I start feeling dizzy. I feel relieved only when I lie down. This has been happening to me for the last 2 years. After every 3 or 4 months, this happens for 3 or 4 days. Last time I consulted a doctor, he said swelling in the nose was the cause. After taking medicines, I got relief for a few months. Now the same thing happens again.
Male | 24
You are suffering from sinus pressure is causing you to feel dizzy. The inflammation in your nose can restrict normal air and fluid flow in the sinuses, thus increasing the discomfort. You can use a humidifier, keep yourself well hydrated, and steer clear of triggers like pollen to cope with this. Consult an ENT specialist and get additional treatment if your symptoms continue.

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.

How long i have to use nasal spray after sinus surgery.
Male | 37
After your sinus surgery, you may have to use nasal spray. The spray could help with swelling and dryness in your nose. You might feel stuffy, under pressure, or congested after surgery. Taking the spray like your doctor says can aid these symptoms. It also helps your nose heal. Make sure to follow the doctor's directions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ear pain in adults could be due to different causes, such as ear infections, wax buildup, or maybe even some problems with the jaw. It is so nice of you to give Zerodol P, it can help with pain and inflammation. If the pain is not subsiding or is worsening, go to an ENT doctor for a thorough examination and the necessary treatment.

Ear pain could have various causes. At times, it's an ear infection, wax ear accumulates, and changes in air pressure, among others. Avoid putting anything into your ear is one of the most critical things to try to do. A warm cloth on the ear can provide some relief of discomfort, and it may help to rest in a quiet place. If the pain persists, visit an ENT specialist.
