Why is my ear still crackling after syringing?
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?

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.

I am a 19 year old female. I have had an infection in my ear the last couple of days and experienced pain around my ear this afternoon I realized that I have a hard pea sized lump right below my ear thats painful and now I am concerned.
Female | 19
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.

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.

Got a genuine question, been having frequent nosebleeds ( around 12 times in 14 days) and was wondering on what could be the cause or what it could mean
Male | 21
Very often the bloody nose is caused by some things i.e. dry air, allergies, infections, and high blood pressure. In different scenarios, anemia may bear a more long-term consequence including blood disorders or even tumors. You are advised to see an otolaryngologist for a thorough examination as well as opt for the recommended treatment.

पहले गले में सूजन का आना फिर गांठ का होना और दो दिन बाद कान के बाहरी हिस्सो मे सूजन के आने के क्या कारण हैं
Male | 14
A cyst, a fluid-filled sac, may be causing your symptoms. It forms in various body parts like the neck and outer ear. Swelling in the neck and a lump could signal a cyst. Cysts develop due to blocked glands or hair follicles. Consulting an ENT specialist is crucial. They'll evaluate and treat the cyst properly. Treatment options include draining the cyst or surgical removal if needed.

I have been experiencing throat pain on my left side since few weeks … I have tachycardia I am on beta blockers , my doctor said for a ultrasound of neck in which level 3 10 into 6 mm benign nodes with maintained fatty hilum . But since few weeks I have pain and I also feel something is stuck and I have ear pain sometimes with toothache
Female | 22
The possible cause of pain in your throat and the feeling of an obstruction in your neck might lie in benign nodes. Once in a while, these nodes can problematically press on a nerve and cause pain. Apart from that, they might also be the culprits of earache and toothache. Therefore, you must schedule an appointment with an ENT specialist to undergo the necessary diagnostic programs.

I have ear aches but not sure what it could be causing it
Female | 17
A few different things can cause earaches. Sometimes it is an infection such as one in the ear canal or middle ear where bacteria or viruses have entered. Another cause may be too much ear wax or changes in air pressure. You may find relief by using warm compresses, taking over-the-counter pain medication, and resting. You should see an ENT specialist if your condition doesn’t improve after a few days or get worse.

I am having cough which looks more allergic. And phlegm and wheezing sound only appears when I coughs. It's like someone is choking you when you have the cough. It really hurts my throat and head while coughing. And sometimes maybe due to my panic, cough results in cough syncope. I also have antral gastritis. I have been diagnosed with bronchitis 6 months back. My chest Xray shows only small prominence in right lungs and rest is normal. CT is normal, XRay is normal. Only my TLC count is elavated to 17000 and however eosphil and basophil count is normal. I am slightly anemic. According to my doc, my body is unable to absorb iron. My O2 and BP all are normal during my cough episode. However, I feel tremor throughout my body and sometimes my hands and legs become pale while I cough. I am perfectly normal if I don't have the cough episodes. I also has slight GERD maybe due to antral gastritis.

Hello Dr , I am 45 years old and having benign tumor in parotid gland so pls advise on cist of surgery and recovery period pls
Male | 45
A benign parotid gland tumor refers to a non-cancerous growth in a salivary gland located at the side of your ear. Symptoms may include a bulge in the cheek or jaw area. In most cases, surgery is the primary method of dealing with the tumor. In most cases, the recovery time can be a bit longer than a few weeks. Adhering to your doctor's instructions post-surgery is essential for proper recovery.

You might have an ear infection, which can cause pain and disturb your sleep. Other symptoms could include hearing loss and fluid drainage from the ear. Ear infections are often caused by bacteria or viruses. To ease the discomfort, try using a warm compress on your ear and taking over-the-counter pain relief. If the pain does not go away, make sure to consult an ENT specialist for proper treatment.

Their is a growth of muscle inside my nose as a result I can't breath, used 4 bottles of otrivin but after few hours but nose blocks again
Female | 19
Breathing difficulties suggest a nasal polyp, a tissue growth blocking nasal passages. Symptoms include laboured breathing, temporary relief from nasal sprays, and persistent blockage. Visiting an ENT specialist is advisable for diagnosis and suitable treatment options.

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.

My aunt suffering with black fungus, symptoms are observed 3 days before will she recover Please reply sir
Female | 55
Black fungus is a disease that can occur in people with weakened immune systems, like those who have uncontrolled diabetes. Symptoms can involve a stuffy nose, facial pain, swelling, and black crusts in the nose. Treatment every time requires antifungal medication and, in some cases, surgery. Recovery is possible with a good approach that includes beginning treatment early and it depends on the individual health condition. Find an ENT specialist to treat this condition.

I am feelings so much pain inside my ear canal. I don't know why. Yesterday I used small stick to remove my ear wax and today it is paining. Don't know whether it is because of ear infection or heavy wax, so iam here to consult on this problem. Please help me.
Male | 21
Using small sticks to remove ear wax can be risky as it might push the wax deeper or harm the sensitive skin inside. Pains in the ear canal may occur due to infections, direct contact with a stick, or blocking the ear with wax. I recommend not using sticks in the ears. To relieve the pain, you can try using a warm compress on the outside of the ear and avoid putting anything in the ear canal. If the pain does not cease or worsen, consult an ENT specialist.

Lump on left side of neck which is tender when pressed on. Has been there for 3 weeks but the last 3 to 4 days my whole neck on that side and my collar bone the same side have been hurting.

This could be because of a swollen gland or infection. You should see an ENT specialist immediately so they can examine it; they might prescribe antibiotics for treatment or conduct more tests to determine the cause.

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.
