Maybe your nasal symptoms suggest chronic rhinosinusitis. Thick, dark reddish-brown mucus can flow uncontrollably, often worse at night. Inflamed sinuses likely cause this issue. Saline sprays may provide relief. Consulting an ENT doctor helps evaluate and treat the underlying problem.

Ear pain , ear paining for almost 3-4 hours
Male | 18
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.

Male | 24
You may have developed an ear infection from wearing headphones too often. The pain near your jaw and ear could signal this issue. Prolonged headphone use can sometimes trap bacteria, leading to infections. Take a break from using headphones, and try applying a warm cloth to the affected ear area. However, if the discomfort persists, it would be wise to consult an ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

You are suffering from pain in the right ear. According to your explanation, it is clear that the medications you have used so far have been ineffective. Ear pain can be classified by several causes such as ear infection or inflammation. Since the pain doesn't go away with the use of your medications, you must seek the advice of an ENT specialist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

A few days ago I experienced severe ear pain and the ear was bleeding. When I went to the doctor, he told me that my eardrum was leaking because I had a cold. After taking some antibiotics the pain subsided. But I still feel the sound in my ears. Also doctor gave x-ray (pns om view). Now the report is "Suggestive of left maxillary sinusitis with right maxillary antral polyp and rhinitis". Now what should we do?
Female | 18

Good evening,,i have alot of mucus even while am not sick,which medicine should i use to stop mucus
Female | 22
Dealing with excess mucus without illness feels very bothersome. The mucus might happen due to allergies, irritants, or weather changes. An over-the-counter saline nasal spray helps. It thins mucus, so you clear your nose easier. But read instructions carefully on medication labels.

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.
Male | 24
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.

In ear dry skin flakes comes from ear,,and ear repeatedly block,,,I do valsava,,,it's open but again blocked,,,after some times,,what to do,,,,,,,
Male | 24
You are going through some issues with dry skin flakes coming out of your ears and having the feeling of your ear blocking up, even after you have been trying the Valsalva technique. This can happen when the skin in your ear canal gets irritated and sheds the flakes, which subsequently results in a blockage. You can try a gentle ear-cleaning solution to keep your ear clean and moist. If this issue keeps on persisting, you should visit an ENT doctor for more diagnostics.

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.

Female | 19
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.

I got into a car crash back in April 2022 when I was 17 years old. I took my eyes off the road was fiddling with the car radio, my head was turned towards the right and I crash the passenger side of my car into a telephone pole and all the airbags deployed. I didn’t get any facial or body injuries. I got diagnosed with bilateral tinnitus from an ENT doctor but they didn’t find any damage when they did a physical examination. I did a hearing test and I have a little bit of hearing loss. Based on my hearing test is my tinnitus permanent or temporary?
Male | 19
Tinnitus either lasts temporarily or permanently, based on what causes it. With your hearing loss, your tinnitus could become long-term. It's crucial to continue seeing your ENT doctor. They'll evaluate further and monitor your condition properly.

Hi doctor My name is waris 25 years old Male It's been a month for me Sore throat and yellow and white blisters on the inner wall of the throat What causes it It only hurts a little while swallowing and it feels like there is something on the inner wall of the throat
Male | 25
You have tonsillitis which is the case when your tonsils become infected and is the reason for sore throat and blisters. The infection is caused by different viruses or bacteria. To support, water in great amounts and warm salt water gargles first need to be healed by abstaining from voice. Over-the-counter pain relief may also provide some comfort. If symptoms continue, it is better to visit an ENT specialist for more tests.

Male | 55
A buildup behind your eardrum might cause the noise. Your ear and jaw ache may relate to this otitis media (middle ear infection). Antibiotics aid, but seeing an ENT specialist for assessment and care is wise. They'll determine if fluid accumulates, resulting in the symptoms you describe.

If we have cough in our neck what to do
Female | 65
If you have been feeling like something is tickling or causing discomfort in your throat, it could be an irritation on your throat. This irritation is usually caused by a common cold, allergies, or food particles getting stuck in the back of the mouth and then traveling down into the esophagus. Other symptoms may include a dry cough without phlegm production; hoarseness (speaking with difficulty in voice due to swelling); or pain when swallowing. If any of them persists too long or worsens over time then visit an ENT specialist.

You appear to be suffering from a typical cold or allergies. Sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes can be due to allergens like dust or pollen. Nasal congestion and itching can also be due to a viral infection. To help ease your symptoms, try drinking plenty of water, resting, and using over-the-counter antihistamines. If symptoms persist or worsen, the best option is to consult an ENT doctor.
