Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

It might be helpful to know that the pain you feel in the ear and neck might have been caused by an infection in the ear or neck muscles that are too tight. Additionally, pain gets even worse when a person is stressed sometimes. Try to take some time off your studies and relax, use a warm cloth or over-the-counter painkillers may relieve this pain. Ensure you get enough sleep too. If this continue, please consult an ENT specialist.

I am having throat infection with submandibular, salivary gland and ear infection. Its not going away even after i take medications

Male | 54

Throat infections can lead to interconnected issues such as discomfort in the salivary glands and ears. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, or difficulty swallowing. If your current treatment isn’t helping, it may be due to antibiotic resistance, viral causes, or other underlying issues. It's essential to stay hydrated and rest. Continued symptoms warrant a consultation with a ENT specialist, as they may suggest further testing or a different treatment approach. \

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.

i have a ear ache on my right ear after lying on my right side for too long with headphones.

Female | 13

Having headphones on while lying on your side for long periods can cause pain in your ear. This happens due to pressure and friction in the ear canal. To ease earache symptoms, take breaks from wearing headphones frequently. Apply a warm compress to the affected ear. Avoid sleeping on that side until the pain goes away. If discomfort continues, it is advisable to consult 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.

I am 26 years old female. My two ears have been blocked for over three weeks and there are no signs it would open. What should I do to get it open?

Female | 26

Earwax buildup often causes this. Hardened wax clogs the ear canal, making you feel full or hear less. Use over-the-counter ear drops to soften wax. Gently flush ears with warm water using a bulb syringe. If this doesn't work, see an ENT specialist for evaluation and treatment.

I'm having nasal congestion, and there is swelling on septum wall deep in nose become of allergy

Male | 24

You appear to be coping with nasal congestion and your nose is swollen due to allergies. A situation when your body reacts to things like pollen and dust may cause your nose to feel stuffy, while the inside of your nose may get swollen. This may block the airways, thus making it difficult to breathe. You can try saline nasal spray to clear your nose and avoid things that trigger your allergies. If it continues, you should visit an allergist who will assist you in finding a suitable treatment for your allergies.

I have been experiencing throat pain on my left side since few weeks … I have tachycardia I am on beta blockers , my doctor said for a ultrasound of neck in which level 3 10 into 6 mm benign nodes with maintained fatty hilum . But since few weeks I have pain and I also feel something is stuck and I have ear pain sometimes with toothache

Female | 22

The possible cause of pain in your throat and the feeling of an obstruction in your neck might lie in benign nodes. Once in a while, these nodes can problematically press on a nerve and cause pain. Apart from that, they might also be the culprits of earache and toothache. Therefore, you must schedule an appointment with an ENT specialist to undergo the necessary diagnostic programs.

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 feel pressure in my throat or like a lump or something stuck it is like someone held my throat and the pressure is worse I feel like it gets worse during night I had neck pain few days ago I don't know if it is due to my posture or something else now not much pain and my saliva is kinda thick I kinda feel anxious when I think about it I lost 1 kg today and also like that throat thing goes upto my head I kinda feel like that

Female | 17

It's understandable to feel concerned about the sensation in your throat and the pressure you're experiencing. These symptoms can arise from anxiety, muscle tension, or postural issues. Thick saliva and neck discomfort may contribute to this sensation as well. Staying hydrated and practicing relaxation techniques could help alleviate discomfort. However, since these symptoms are persistent and impacting your daily life, it’s advisable to consult a physician. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored advice, ensuring you're supported and informed.

Noseblock sinus problem nosebleed once fever bodyache

Female | 30

Nasal congestion, along with occasional bleeding, can often result from infections or allergies, leading to discomfort, fever, and body aches. These symptoms suggest your body is fighting something off, often a viral infection. To help, stay hydrated and consider using a saline nasal spray for relief. Warm compresses may also ease discomfort. If bleeding persists or worsens, or if symptoms do not improve within a few days, I recommend seeking advice from ENT specialist.

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.

Hello I’ve been having some hissing in one ear

Male | 23

If you hear a hissing noise in one ear, you may have tinnitus. It is a condition where you hear sounds like ringing, buzzing, or hissing without any outside noise making the sound. Tinnitus can happen for a few reasons. Very loud sounds can cause it. An ear infection might too. Or if you are very stressed, tinnitus can start. Try to avoid loud places and sounds. Find ways to feel calm and relaxed. But you should also go see an ENT specialist. They can check your ears and help figure out the best way to make the hissing stop.
