Answered on 8th July '24
You are having trouble talking clearly. This can happen due to various factors like vocal cord issues or muscle weakness. In place of surgical procedures, speech therapy should be the first step. It is important to conduct speech therapy involving exercises that can develop your speech. One of the primary methods is to try this gentler approach so that it becomes clear if it works before moving on to other solutions.

My ear has had weird pressure changes over the last year and has random drainage. When I clean it out, it’s always dark brown/goopy and smells really bad. Today I just pulled out a big glob of something blueish/gray and thought it was a bug. What should I do?
Male | 26
You might have an infection in your ear, which is causing the weird variations in pressure, dark brown/goopy drainage, bad smell, and the blueish/grey glob you found. It's called otitis externa. It's important to see an Ent specialist doctor on time to get the right medications. Refrain from inserting anything inside your ear or getting it wet.

My mouth and throat are almost always dry which causes sore throat.What should i do now?
Female | 18
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.

My brother had mumps problem in february. Second day he lost his hearing completely in left ear. With lots of noise in his ear. We consulted many doctors and had lengthy treatment for about 6 months. But zero result. Doctors declared that hearing will never come back. But we want the the tinnitus go away. It damages his life also. Please help
Male | 39
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.

Male | 54
Vocal nodules are injuries akin to calluses on the vocal cords that can be caused by either overusing your voice or speaking improperly. The result can be a hoarse or unclear voice. Fortunately, the result of the cancer test is negative. A voice therapist, avoiding vocal strain, and the rest of the voice can help you improve your voice.

First of all, I woke up with a weird feeling in my mouth. My saliva was extremely dry…I had to try take water but then I realized something shocking. It was initially tough to swallow my saliva like I had a sore throat but that wasn’t it. I felt my uvula come towards my tongue when I tried to gag. I checked the mirror and saw that my uvula got very long just overnight
Male | 24
Uvulitis is when your uvula swells up. The uvula hangs at the back of your throat. Infections, allergies, or snoring while asleep can cause it. You might feel something in your throat. Swallowing may be difficult, and your throat might hurt. Drinking lots of water helps. Gargling warm saltwater soothes. If symptoms don't go away, see an ENT specialist.

Male | 27
Your throat feels uncomfortable, with swollen tonsils causing discomfort on one side. Swollen tonsils affect your voice, sounding unusual. Germs like viruses or bacteria likely caused this throat infection. To ease symptoms, drink warm liquids and eat soft foods. Gargling warm salt water may help too. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice from an ENT specialist promptly for proper evaluation and treatment.

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.

Female | 20
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. This lasting lump could come from an infection or inflammation nearby. Seeing a ENT specialist will help discover the reason and the right treatment approach.

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.

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.
