Answered on 5th Aug '24
Your grandfather is likely experiencing throat congestion, which is common among stroke people. This could be caused by the fact that after a stroke, a person may have difficulty swallowing. When we swallow, the cough should come out of the mouth. Be sure to hydrate him by drinking lots of fluids. A speech therapist who can teach exercises to improve swallowing and coughing should be seen. Apart from that, he will also be able to make the cough from his throat disappear.

I have been using sudafed nasal spray for about 5 days for a nasal drip. I stopped yesterday and have been feeling extremely congested like my sinus is swollen. Could this be rebound congestion? I've been using sinus rinse and a little relief but just feels like there could be some swelling
Male | 40
You could be suffering from rebound congestion. This is common when people use nasal sprays such as Sudafed for more than a couple of days. It may cause you to have swollen nasal passages with a feeling of being more congested. The saline sinus rinse is excellent at relieving the swelling. It's best to avoid overusing the nasal spray to prevent rebound congestion.

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.

From last few months sometimes my ears feel dry with transparent sticky thing and now from few days im noticing dry blood very lil quantity
Female | 19
These could be signs of swimmer's ear. This ear issue happens when water gets stuck inside the ear canal. The trapped water can make the ear feel dry, itchy, and irritated. You may even notice a liquid or bloody discharge coming from your ear. Don't worry, dealing with a swimmer's ear is simple. Keep your ears dry by using ear plugs or a swim cap when swimming. Avoid putting things like cotton swabs or fingers inside your ear canal. Use an ear cleaning solution made for sensitive ears. Gently rinse out the ear canal with the solution as directed. If problems continue after a few days, visit a doctor. An ENT specialist can examine your ear and prescribe treatment.

My back forehead is pulling by force all of my head towards it also stiff neck on left side and confusion...I have severe sinusitis and large antrochaoanal polyps in my left side nose and continuous nasal congestion of yellow discharge and white colour lastly there
Male | 30
The symptoms that you mentioned such as the pressure in your forehead, stiff neck, and confusion could be due to severe sinusitis and polyps on the left nostril. The presence of the discharge of yellow and white, as well as the nasal congestion, is a clear indication of a sinus problem. Medication such as sinus sprays, antibiotics, or surgery mainly to clear the polyps is used. You had better consult an ENT specialist who will provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the proper treatment for you.

Why I have Partial hearing loss from my left ear and when I apply pressure by closing my nose , mouth, air come out from my ear
Male | 26
The Eustachian tube is a little passage. It links your middle ear to your nose's back area. This tube can get blocked, causing partial hearing loss in that ear. When you close your mouth and nose, air might come out of your ear if you apply pressure. To help open the Eustachian tube, try yawning or chewing gum. If this issue persists, it's wise to see an ENT doctor.

I'm a 21 year old female experiencing serious pain around the ear-neck region and I'm to prepare for a test tomorrow but I can't even study due to the pains
Female | 21
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.

According to your statement, I think that you have a swollen lymph node because you have an ear infection. It is better to consult an ENT specialist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Feeling repeated sound in ear when someone says something and having history of ringing in years
Male | 18
You might have a medical condition known as "tinnitus". It can be accompanied by ringing in the ears and even the illusion of hearing someone else’s voice echoing. Causes could be exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even stress. In this regard, you should reduce your exposure to environmental noise, stress-excessively manage your life without resorting to medicines, and use background noise.

I am a 17 male who is visiting France from the US. I just got to France yesterday, but was in UK for 9 days before that. Yesterday, my dad started experiencing symptoms, and today, my mom, my sister, and I are all experiencing symptoms as well. My main symptom is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. As a tourist, our options are limited. I have started taking OTC Humex Rhume to help with 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.

Hello. I am 21 years old male. Last night I took a tablet for tooth ache and after taking I was feeling that it is still stuck in my throat. After a hour I went to sleep with the same feeling that the tablet is stuck in my throat. I am a bit confused that while I am sleeping the tablet may have entered the windpipe instead of food pipe. Is it possible that it entered the windpipe while I am sleeping and not letting me know that it had entered the windpipe. I would be really grateful to know the answer.
Male | 21
When a tablet feels stuck in the throat, it is usually in the esophagus instead of the trachea. You would cough a lot if it got into the windpipe. Sometimes, it can be a feeling of something getting stuck in the throat because the tablet is dissolved for some time. Drinking water may assist it in its journey downward. However, if you experience difficulty breathing or acute pain, get medical treatment as soon as possible.

It looks like otitis media is the most likely reason, which is an infection in the middle ear. This condition can cause ear pain, jaw pain, and a feeling of throbbing or vibrating in your ear. The cough, runny nose, and headache could be related or separate issues. You must visit an ENT specialist to obtain the right medication.

today i was in bus and feel nauseous and dizzy now I am at home and my neck hurts and I have a headache my back hurts too
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.
