You may have dryness in your mouth and throat, causing your throat to dry. This may happen when you are not drinking enough fluids or if the air around you is too dry. To alleviate this issue, ensure you drink plenty of water and use a humidifier in the bedroom where possible. Additionally, sucking on sugarless candies can help stimulate saliva production. However, if these suggestions do not provide relief, consider seeking help from an ENT specialist.

I am 13 year old girl I have pain in my ear and also swelling.
Female | 13
You might have some ear pain and swelling. When your ear aches and swells, it could be an ear infection. Ear infections can occur when tiny organisms like bacteria and viruses penetrate the ear. Go to an ENT specialist and they will prescribe you medication to treat the infection and improve your health.

I am a 22 year old female. I have had this for 4 days now. Saturday morning I woke up feeling feverish and a sore throat, it was red and looked very inflamed. I went to the pharmacy and bought immune booster and Ibupain Forte for the pain. I have had body aches, chills, headaches and feelings of fever for 2 days after Monday morning I throat was painful and had difficulty swallowing and I could feel it was my tonsils, they looked red, inflamed and had white patches on them. Tuesday morning, I went to the clinic at pharmacy and they gave me amoxicillin and pain meds for the pain. I feel much better now however my voice is gone.
Female | 22
The symptoms you have mentioned suggest a throat infection which is most probably of bacterial origin. The white patches seen on your tonsils are another hallmark of this condition. Amoxicillin is a good step as it is the medication prescribed by the clinic that helps deal with the infection. It is vital to finish the entire course of antibiotics, which you are taking even if you feel better. Your lost voice will probably go back to normal as you continue to heal. Ensure that you get enough rest, drink plenty of water, and stick to the medication directions. If your symptoms stay or get worse, it's a good idea to have a follow-up with an ENT specialist.

One side nose block problem
Female | 30
Unilateral nasal obstruction or one-sided stuffed nose is another name for this type of blockage. Allergies, infections such as sinusitis, and even the common cold can result in this. Additionally, other symptoms may include sneezing, a runny nose, and difficulty breathing. To help clear the blockage, you can use over-the-counter decongestants, saline nasal sprays, or a humidifier. If there is no improvement after a few days see an ENT specialist.

I smell something in my nostrils when I exhale heavily
Male | 20
A sinus infection could make you smell odd odors when exhaling forcefully. Stuffy noses, runny noses, headaches, and coughs frequently occur. Viruses or bacteria commonly cause sinus infections. Resting, drinking plenty of liquids, and using saline nasal drops may provide relief. However, if symptoms persist, consulting an ENT doctor is advisable.

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?

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.

When I remove the ear wax, there is a small blood, is there any problem, there is a small pain
ആൺ | 28
Your ear has soft skin inside. You may bleed a bit when cleaning. Don't worry, it's normal. You likely scratched the delicate inner skin. This scratch also causes the slight pain. But don't push objects too far into your ear. That's when bleeding becomes concerning. If bleeding persists, see an ENT specialist.

i have a ear ache on my right ear after lying on my right side for too long with headphones.
Female | 13
Having headphones on while lying on your side for long periods can cause pain in your ear. This happens due to pressure and friction in the ear canal. To ease earache symptoms, take breaks from wearing headphones frequently. Apply a warm compress to the affected ear. Avoid sleeping on that side until the pain goes away. If discomfort continues, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist.

Having a swollen lymph node in your neck for a long period isn't normal. Since it's been there awhile and hurts when using your laptop, checking with a doctor makes sense.

Male | 18
You may have an acute tonsillitis infection. When the tonsils become infected with viruses or bacteria this frequently occurs. The fever and headache you experienced are common symptoms of this condition. Since taking medication has not helped, it is necessary to get a proper diagnosis from an ENT specialist. This will enable them to prescribe stronger antibiotics which should make you feel well. Do not forget to drink plenty of water and have enough bed rest.

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.

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.
