Answered on 16th Feb '25
Prolonged hoarseness can stem from several factors, including past smoking habits and irritation in the throat. To improve your situation, consider eliminating irritants like smoking, staying hydrated, and using humidifiers. Resting your voice and avoiding whispering can also help. However, because of the duration of your symptoms, I encourage you to consult an ENT specialist. They can provide a thorough examination and recommend appropriate treatments, which may include speech therapy or medication.

You may develop ear pain when you have a sore throat. Gargling with warm salt water can relieve the pain caused by a sore throat. Taking enough fluids and having sufficient rest is essential.

You may be dealing with an ear infection. The germs, whether they are bacteria or viruses, infect your ear and cause a lot of pain, swelling, and even a sensation of blockage in your ear. Sometimes the pain may also radiate to your jaw and neck. Consulting an ENT specialist will enable you to obtain the correct treatment, primarily antibiotics for the infection.

Female | 28
It sounds like you're experiencing throat pain and cough, which can often stem from viral infections or irritants. Since you have no fever or runny nose, this may not be a serious concern. You can continue using throat lozenges and gargling warm salt water for comfort. Dolo 650, which contains paracetamol, can help relieve pain; just ensure you follow dosage instructions. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a physician for tailored advice.

Suppose one has a sound playing inside their ear for two years, that might be tinnitus. Tinnitus is a condition where you hear ringing or buzzing or any other sound in your ear that is not caused by any external noise source. It could result from exposure to loud noise, and ear infections among other causes such as stress. A visit to an ENT specialist is necessary to find the cause and consequently receive appropriate treatment.

Fever and cold nose water drop
Female | 20
If you have a fever and you have a cold nose, these are signs of a viral infection. Fever, a runny nose, cough, or fatigue are commonly experienced symptoms. They are also the usual way your body reacts to fighting off an illness. To allow you to relax there is enough support at home. The rest is taking care of yourself, keeping you hydrated and you might need fever and congestion relief over-the-counter medications. Many cases are resolved on their own; however, if your symptoms are not gone in several days or they are getting worse, then the best thing to do is to consult a doctor who will be able to give you proper advice. Your health is of primary importance, thus you should be quick to obtain help.

I've been experiencing sinus problems, such as congestion, pressure, and possibly sinus infections. What could be the underlying cause, and what are my treatment options?
Female | 26
You could have sinus issues. When your sinuses are blocked or inflamed, you may end up with congestion, pressure, and even infections. The most common reasons are allergies, infections, or structural problems in your sinuses. Treatment methods can encompass nasal decongestants, saline rinses, steam inhalation, or antibiotics if there is an infection. Besides, you can also replenish the fluids in your body and use a humidifier for symptom relief. If your symptoms don't go away, you should see an ENT doctor for a proper diagnosis and a customized treatment plan.

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. During the waiting time, you may use a warm compress on your ear to relieve the pain.

If we have cough in our neck what to do
Female | 65
If you have been feeling like something is tickling or causing discomfort in your throat, it could be an irritation on your throat. This irritation is usually caused by a common cold, allergies, or food particles getting stuck in the back of the mouth and then traveling down into the esophagus. Other symptoms may include a dry cough without phlegm production; hoarseness (speaking with difficulty in voice due to swelling); or pain when swallowing. If any of them persists too long or worsens over time then visit an ENT specialist.

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.

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.

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.
