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.

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.

Hello. In a month I will have a nasal septum surgery (Septoplasty). I would like to know how to prepare for the surgery, what tests to perform, how long the procedure will take, how long the recovery will take after the procedure and whether I should have a new CT scan of the face (the old CT scan of the face is 2 years old). I would also like to get an opinion based on the documentation of the CT scan of the face whether my case is serious? : CT scan of the paranasal sinuses - examination performed without intravenous contrast agent In the posterior ethmoid on the right side, inflammatory thickening of the mucosa up to 7 mm. In the posterior ethmoid on the left side, inflammatory thickening of the mucosa up to 4 mm. In the alveolar recess of the right maxillary sinus, inflammatory thickening of the mucosa of approx. 1 mm In the medial wall of the right maxillary sinus at the level of the middle nasal meatus, a loss of continuity of approx. 2.5 mm - variant The frontal sinuses and the sphenoid sinus on both sides, the maxillary sinus on the left, are normally free of inflammatory thickening of the mucosa. The ostia-ductal complexes are patent on both sides Aeration of the middle nasal turbinate on the left, type II The mucosa of the middle nasal turbinates and the inferior nasal turbinates was significantly thickened on both sides. The bony nasal septum in the upper part is deviated by up to 6 mm to the right, in the lower part it is deviated by up to 4 mm to the left

Male | 28

To get your nasal septum surgery, you need blood tests and maybe a nasal swab. The surgery is expected to last from 1-2 hours. The recovery time may be different, but you might have to keep still for a few days. Your old CT scan is nice, but doing the new one preoperatively is a good idea. Your case is not so serious, however, the surgery will be a positive thing for you in terms of breathing and reduced infections.

I had a runny nose 2 days ago so I took panadol that has 30mg pseudoephedrine. It stopped running within 1 hour. But yesterday I woke up in the middle of the night with a blocked nose and it would only clear up when I stood up. Today I still have a congested nose no mucus. When I close my mouth I can’t breathe through my nose at all

Female | 25

It sounds like you may be experiencing nasal congestion, which can result from various factors such as allergies or a mild viral infection. The blockage while lying down could be due to gravity affecting nasal drainage. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier may help ease your symptoms. Over-the-counter saline sprays are also beneficial for relieving congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a general physician to rule out any underlying issues.

Having pain in right side of lymph node under jaw from couple of days, the pain increases while chewing and swallowing food. I can feel the lymph node with my fingers it also has an aching feeling and the pain and uneasiness remains constant, have not taken any medicines yet.

Male | 40

It's important to get evaluated by an ENT specialist for the pain in your right lymph node under the jaw, especially if it worsens with chewing and swallowing. This could indicate an infection or inflammation that needs prompt attention. Avoid delaying and seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment tailored to your symptoms.

I have excess ear wax which has hardened like stone.

Female | 27

Built-up ear plug can create an issue of a feeling of being uncomfortable, a reduction in one’s hearing ability, or the illusion of fullness in the ear. Mainly, it is the misuse of cleaning methods and anatomy of the jeopardized narrow ear canals. The other reason might be a skin disorder. To dissolve the wax that has become firm, try mineral oil- or saline solution-based, over-the-counter drops. To prevent earwax from being pushed deeper inside, do not use cotton swabs. If the healing process at home is ineffective or you are in pain when doing it, it is recommended to see a doctor.

My 6 year old son has complaining about something is stuck in his throat, I just checked a swollen elevation at the end of his tounge . I think it is visible like epiglottis

Male | 6.5

You should immediately contact a pediatrician or an ENT specialist to check out the symptoms of your child. Many conditions can cause swelling or pain in the throat, particularly around the epiglottis. It is essential to seek timely medical attention to prevent any complications and ensure the health of your child.

i hve back of throat in orange bumps

Female | 19

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.

My boy is of 12 years and he is having tonsils in his neck… there is normal tonsils Madicine has finished

Male | 12

Your son has enlarged tonsils, he slows down when sick. These can make the throat hurt, make it hard to swallow, or even block some air. Helping him stay comfortable might include giving him lots of things to drink and soft things to eat. Make a doctor’s appointment if he seems very uncomfortable or it’s hard for him to breathe.

Is this enlarged turbinate and if so what caused it and could it go away on its own? I can’t breathe through my nose for the past two days only. Was completely normal prior to that and I was able to breathe through my nose with my mouth completely closed. Plz help

Female | 25

It sounds like you may be experiencing nasal congestion, which can occur due to factors like allergies, a respiratory infection, or environmental irritants. Swelling in the nasal passages can temporarily hinder airflow, making breathing through your nose difficult. In many cases, this condition improves on its own within a few days as inflammation subsides. To alleviate symptoms, consider using saline nasal sprays or a humidifier. Drinking plenty of fluids can also help. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.
