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 am a 20 year old male, last wednesday night I suddenly lost hearing in my left ear. I was diagnosed at an urgent care with OME, but I am concerned as my left ear is 100% deaf and that is not usually a symptom of OME
Male | 20
OME stands for Otitis Media with Effusion. It causes the middle ear to become filled with fluids. It usually follows a cold, and in most cases, does not result in complete deafness. If the hearing loss is rapid and strong, it can be something else. You need to consult an ENT specialist for more tests.

You have a small protrusion below your chin that is painful to the touch. It might be the case that a lymph node, usually caused by an infection in the body, is swollen. The most common causes are a cold, a sore throat, or even a dental problem. Convincing a lot of water, resting, and eating healthy can be a great help. If it still doesn't get better, see an ENT doctor for more help.

Tonsil stones are small items in your throat. They are made of food, mucus, and bacteria. You might have bad breath, a sore throat, or trouble swallowing. Gargle with warm salt water to remove them. Also, drink lots of water. Keep your mouth clean. This can stop tonsil stones from forming.

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.

You likely scratched your throat, leading to discomfort. The object may have scratched or caused swelling in your throat area. Throat pain can sometimes radiate toward the ear region.

Female | 26
You could have sinus issues. When your sinuses are blocked or inflamed, you may end up with congestion, pressure, and even infections. The most common reasons are allergies, infections, or structural problems in your sinuses. Treatment methods can encompass nasal decongestants, saline rinses, steam inhalation, or antibiotics if there is an infection. Besides, you can also replenish the fluids in your body and use a humidifier for symptom relief. If your symptoms don't go away, you should see an ENT doctor for a proper diagnosis and a customized treatment plan.

Your vocal cords seem irritated, resulting in hoarseness. Prolonged airdope usage could be the culprit. To recover, rest your voice completely. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid whispering or raising your voice. If it persists, take a break from airdopes, letting your vocal cords heal. Consult an ENT doctor if the issue continues.

Male | 30
You might have allergic rhinitis. That's a fancy phrase for nose allergies. Your body reacts to stuff like pollen, pet hair, and dust mites. To ease symptoms, use a room humidifier for moisture. Drink lots of water too. Saline nose sprays can relieve dryness. If home remedies don't work, see an allergy doctor. They'll help find the cause and treatment for you.
