Polypoidal Mucosal Thickening in Maxillary Sinuses
I'm Rashmi, 27 years old. I'm a tb patient. Recently from past 5-6 days I'm having headache. So went for a CT brain scan. The results were normal. However there is one line written in bold which states "There is minimal polypoidal mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses". Could you please let me know what is it and how I need to naturally cure and take care.

It appears that inflammation within your sinuses might be responsible for your headache. When sinuses become aggravated or infected, this condition arises. You may experience facial pressure, nasal congestion, or even coughing. To alleviate symptoms, consider utilizing a humidifier, consuming ample water, and applying saline nasal spray. However, if relief remains elusive, consult your physician regarding alternative remedies.

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.

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.

I have a watery discharge from my right nostril once in 3,4 months…not always and it is not constant also..I have nasal polyps too..can the leaking be csf??I heard it is constant..mine happens only once in 3 or 4 months…
Female | 28
Many people notice a watery discharge and worry it might be cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but it’s not always the case. Sometimes, blowing your nose can cause this. Keep an eye on any new symptoms or changes, and if you're concerned, it's best to see an ENT specialist for a check-up.

I am experiencing symptoms including a runny nose, swollen eyes, ear pressure, sudden sneezing, and occasional breathing problems. These issues began around 2009, when I was in matric, and persist today, August 23, 2024. I have tried various anti-allergy medications such as Baydal, Fexet D, Telfast D, and Mytika over the years, but they only provide temporary relief. This week (August 20, 2024), I used Fexet D, Azomax for 3 days, and steamed with Vicks for 3 days. Despite these efforts, the sneezing and nasal congestion (alternating between the left and right side) remain unchanged. In the morning and at night, I sometimes notice a white fluid dripping from my head to my nose, and it occasionally affects my chest, throat, and eyes. Between 2018 and 2020, I visited the NIH Allergy Centre, where I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. But i think due to long travelling these vaccine are expire 16 Hrs travelling.and It also does not Effects me.Due to the COVID-19 Travelling and distance, I was unable to travel from Rajanpur to Islamabad and I stoped this vaccine each week In 2020 . and I believe my vaccine may have expired. However, the (antibiotics+Antiallergic) medicine treatment did not provide long relief. which could be contributing to the ongoing issues. Currently, I have been experiencing these symptoms for the past 12 days, following a gap of 3 months. I am currently jobless and living in a flood-affected area, which makes long travel difficult. In these 2 weeks i used 3 days azomax 250, For 3 days fexet D+ leflox, And 6 days softin Tablet.

It appears you are going through allergic rhinitis, which is responsible for your runny nose, swollen eyes, ear pressure, sneezing, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been persisting for a long time despite trying different medications. The allergy shots that you are receiving may have expired, thus not giving you enough relief. Seek consultation from an allergist to review your treatment plan and consider updating your allergy shots to manage your symptoms effectively.

It sounds like you may be experiencing swelling in your salivary gland and some enlarged lymph nodes in your neck. These could be due to various reasons, including infection or inflammation. It's important to consult an ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

Male | 18
You might have an inflammation in your right ear. This could be due to the previous fungal infection. The redness and heat you feel could be the result of your body reacting to the irritation. I advise that you see an ENT specialist so that they can check your ear and give you the right treatment.

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.

Female | 29
Motion sickness can strike when traveling makes you unsteady. Feeling dizzy and sick might mean you're experiencing it mildly. On buses, those sensations disrupt your balance. Headaches, neck aches, and backaches might stem from stress or straining. To recover, lie down somewhere quiet and dark.

I have yellow mucus since 7 days medicine does not treat me i don't know what to do it irritates me too much so give me any treatment or any medicine
Female | 15
If you have yellow mucus for more than 7 days and it doesn't get better with medication, it's likely a sinus infection. You might feel lousy, with headaches or facial pressure too. To help clear it up, try using a humidifier, drink plenty of water, and use a saline nasal spray. But if it persists or worsens, see an ENT specialist.

Hi I have been having mucus in my throat that comes and goes, I get inflammation that comes and goes almost three months, I was given antibiotics they told me it's infection is not going away, what could be the problem please
Male | 32
You may have chronic sinusitis. This condition causes long-term inflammation in the air-filled spaces of your skull known as the sinuses. Symptoms can include mucus drainage down the throat, off-and-on swelling, and a sick feeling. If it isn’t caused by bacteria, antibiotics might not work. To find the best way to take care of your symptoms, you should see an ENT specialist.

I have some undescriable thing on my ear since I was 10 years old
Female | 20
The undescriable THING on your ear could be a cyst.. Cysts can appear at any age, and they are usually benign. However, you should consult a doctor to confirm the diagnosis. The doctor MAY recommend removing the cyst if it grows or becomes painful.. Try not to irritate the cyst by rubbing or scratching it. Keep the area clean and dry.. Don't worry;; the cyst is likely not a serious health concern..

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.

The puffed neck can take place for several reasons. Considering it is there for 3 days, notice will be required. Some common ones are, for example, being infected (like swollen glands) or even reacting to something. Besides, it may be about a thyroid issue. See a healthcare professional as fast as possible, so they can find the exact reason why you are ill and prescribe the proper medicine.

I have stuffy and runny nose since 3 weeks, have been using decongestants that provided some relief, but since last 3 days it is worse, continues runny nose all day, at the same time the nose is stuffy and heavy. Mucus from runny nose is mostly clear. In the morning I might cough out some yellow mucus.
Female | 37
You may have sinusitis or a sinus infection. Stuffy and runny nose with clear mucus are common symptoms of sinusitis. The yellow mucus that you cough up in the morning is a sign that it may be bacterial. To relieve congestion, try applying a warm compress across your face and seek medical attention for further assessment.

My brother had mumps problem in february. Second day he lost his hearing completely in left ear. With lots of noise in his ear. We consulted many doctors and had lengthy treatment for about 6 months. But zero result. Doctors declared that hearing will never come back. But we want the the tinnitus go away. It damages his life also. Please help
Male | 39
The feeling of noises in the ear, called tinnitus, can be very distressing. Tinnitus in such cases is usually nerve damage caused by the mumps infection. Sadly, in some cases, the hearing loss may not be reversible. To manage the symptoms, your brother can try listening to soothing music, using white noise machines, and avoiding loud noises. Counseling or therapy can also be helpful for the patients.

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.

You may be dealing with an ear infection. The germs, whether they are bacteria or viruses, infect your ear and cause a lot of pain, swelling, and even a sensation of blockage in your ear. Sometimes the pain may also radiate to your jaw and neck. Consulting an ENT specialist will enable you to obtain the correct treatment, primarily antibiotics for the infection.
