Answered on 23rd May '24
Best is to take nasal decongestant sprays for a short duration as prescribed by your physician. It's locally acting, quick relief and a negligible amount is absorbed into the circulation.

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.

Thorat itching since 6 days
Male | 25
Six days of throat itchiness is dreadful. Allergies, dry air, and infections can cause an itchy throat. Coughing or sneezing may also occur with this symptom. The itchiness can be relieved by drinking warm liquids, using a humidifier, and keeping hydrated. If it does not go away or gets worse visit an ENT specialist.

You are suffering from pain in the right ear. According to your explanation, it is clear that the medications you have used so far have been ineffective. Ear pain can be classified by several causes such as ear infection or inflammation. Since the pain doesn't go away with the use of your medications, you must seek the advice of an ENT specialist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

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.

I have some sort of lumps on my tonsil for the last few months i noticed.
Female | 38
There must be concern about the lumps on your tonsil. They might mean an infection, for example, tonsillitis, which will make the throat swell and hurt. Additional signs could be trouble swallowing, fever, and halitosis. Whatever the lumps are, see an ENT specialist to get them treated.

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.

i have ear and ringing in left ear ,advice midicaine.
Male | 50
Ringing in your left ear is known as tinnitus. It can be caused by exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or a buildup of earwax. To reduce the ringing, you can use over-the-counter ear drops to clear any excess wax. If the ringing persists or worsens, it’s important to see an ENT specialist for further examination and treatment.

Hi doctor My name is waris 25 years old Male It's been a month for me Sore throat and yellow and white blisters on the inner wall of the throat What causes it It only hurts a little while swallowing and it feels like there is something on the inner wall of the throat
Male | 25
You have tonsillitis which is the case when your tonsils become infected and is the reason for sore throat and blisters. The infection is caused by different viruses or bacteria. To support, water in great amounts and warm salt water gargles first need to be healed by abstaining from voice. Over-the-counter pain relief may also provide some comfort. If symptoms continue, it is better to visit an ENT specialist for more tests.

Fluid comes out from ear three/four time in a day
Female | 81
Fluid escaping your ear frequently might signify an ear infection named otitis externa. Earache, itchiness, and muffled hearing are typical symptoms. The wise action is avoiding inserting objects in your ear and maintaining dryness. Should the issue persist, consulting an ENT specialist for proper treatment could be necessary.

Ear pain could signal an ear infection. Symptoms like ear ache, hearing difficulty, and fever can occur. Bacteria or viruses often cause these infections. Simple steps like applying warmth with a cloth and taking pain meds might ease discomfort. However, if pain persists or worsens, seeing an ENT specialist for evaluation is recommended.

मुझे नाक मैं प्रोब्लम है मेरा नाक अंदर से बंद है उसमे फोड़ा जैसा कुछ है
Male | 17
Your stuffy nose and lump point to an infection. Viruses, and bacteria, get in your nose, leading to these symptoms. Pain or swelling could accompany it too. Stay hydrated, get some rest, and use saline spray - this might help clear things up. But if it sticks around, you may need to talk to an ENT specialist.

I’m having Frequent nose bleeds. I’ve had them since a child. Even a slight touch inside the nose will cause a nose bleed or even if soemthing hits my nose gently it bleeds. The nose bleeds lasts for about 10/15 minutes per time and it’s a heavy nose bleed. I have my septum pierced and it only bleeds from the left nostril but even before I had the piercing it kept bleeding. I coughed the other day and it started bleeding and I even woke up and it started bleeding
Female | 22
Your nose issue is a nasal septum deviation. That means your nose's middle part is off-center. One nostril's blood vessels are more exposed, causing bleeding. The piercing might worsen it. To reduce nosebleeds, keep your nose moist with saline solution. Don't pick or rub your nose. Consider visiting an ENT expert for evaluation and treatment.

How can I get rid from snoring and I have blood allergy with nasal blockage for past 4 years along with tiredness how can I get rid of it soon
Female | 25
Allergies are your body's reaction to a foreign particle, which the immune system recognizes as an invader resulting in nasal congestion and blocking airflow. Consequently, your sleep is disturbed and feeds into fatigue over the day. You can try a humidifier, clean your room, and avoid allergens such as dust. In cases where the techniques mentioned aren't helpful, consult an ear, nose, and throat specialist for other possible alternatives.

I got into a car crash back in April 2022 when I was 17 years old. I took my eyes off the road was fiddling with the car radio, my head was turned towards the right and I crash the passenger side of my car into a telephone pole and all the airbags deployed. I didn’t get any facial or body injuries. I got diagnosed with bilateral tinnitus from an ENT doctor but they didn’t find any damage when they did a physical examination. I did a hearing test and I have a little bit of hearing loss. Based on my hearing test is my tinnitus permanent or temporary?
Male | 19
Tinnitus either lasts temporarily or permanently, based on what causes it. With your hearing loss, your tinnitus could become long-term. It's crucial to continue seeing your ENT doctor. They'll evaluate further and monitor your condition properly.
