Throat infections can lead to interconnected issues such as discomfort in the salivary glands and ears. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, or difficulty swallowing. If your current treatment isn’t helping, it may be due to antibiotic resistance, viral causes, or other underlying issues. It's essential to stay hydrated and rest. Continued symptoms warrant a consultation with a ENT specialist, as they may suggest further testing or a different treatment approach. \

Lump in left side of neck
Female | 20
This might happen if your lymph nodes there become swollen. These are small structures shaped like beans inside your body, which help fight off infection. The bump could be caused by something as simple as a cold or infection; however, sometimes it could mean something more serious. If it hasn’t gone away or is getting larger, see an ENT specialist right away.

My name is umar khan . I have problem in speaking diseability . I want for operation for my clear voice . if possible or speech therapy
Male | 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.

Hello. I am 21 years old male. Last night I took a tablet for tooth ache and after taking I was feeling that it is still stuck in my throat. After a hour I went to sleep with the same feeling that the tablet is stuck in my throat. I am a bit confused that while I am sleeping the tablet may have entered the windpipe instead of food pipe. Is it possible that it entered the windpipe while I am sleeping and not letting me know that it had entered the windpipe. I would be really grateful to know the answer.
Male | 21
When a tablet feels stuck in the throat, it is usually in the esophagus instead of the trachea. You would cough a lot if it got into the windpipe. Sometimes, it can be a feeling of something getting stuck in the throat because the tablet is dissolved for some time. Drinking water may assist it in its journey downward. However, if you experience difficulty breathing or acute pain, get medical treatment as soon as possible.

I am 35 yrs old male and I have problem with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Is there any treatment for this problem
Male | 35
A routine brain MRI with attention to the internal auditory meatus should be requested in acute cases where no cause is detected and idiopathic origin is assumed. These individuals are usually started on oral corticosteroids with a prednisone dose of 1 mg/kg/day (max 60 mg/day) for seven days and then decreased during the following week.
Hearing aids, of which there are many sorts, are the basis of treatment in chronic situations. Even in mild or severe cases of presbycusis, hearing aids are beneficial to the majority of patients. [19] There is no way to restore former hearing thresholds, and due to psychosocial comorbidities, audiological rehabilitation support is especially necessary in these patients.
The most prevalent equipment for treating hearing loss are traditional behind-the-ear air conduction hearing aids.
Hearing aids with bilateral microphones and contralateral signal routing (BiCROS) are similar, but a microphone also helps the better hearing ear on the same side.

Male | 24
You may have developed an ear infection from wearing headphones too often. The pain near your jaw and ear could signal this issue. Prolonged headphone use can sometimes trap bacteria, leading to infections. Take a break from using headphones, and try applying a warm cloth to the affected ear area. However, if the discomfort persists, it would be wise to consult an ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Female | 28
Many people notice a watery discharge and worry it might be cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but it’s not always the case. Sometimes, blowing your nose can cause this. Keep an eye on any new symptoms or changes, and if you're concerned, it's best to see an ENT specialist for a check-up.

It sounds like you have a possible ear infection, which is common with flu. Green mucus suggests a bacterial infection. It's best to see an ENT specialist to get the right treatment. Do not delay, as ear infections can worsen.

A small lump under the neck can sometimes be due to a swollen lymph node, infection, or cyst. Even if the doctor said it's nothing, pain when touching it might need further checking. Consult an ENT specialist to get a proper diagnosis and rule out any serious condition.

Female | 32
Experiencing sudden pain in your ear can be concerning. This discomfort may arise from several factors, such as an ear infection, fluid buildup, or even sinus issues. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate the pain temporarily. However, it’s essential to consult a ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation. They can determine the exact cause and provide tailored treatment options.

Male | 33 years
It appears that you have a prolonged sore throat which may be due to hidden factors such as allergies, post-nasal drip, or even acid reflux. Therefore, it is possible to feel discomfort if speaking for a long time. You can reduce the symptoms by keeping your fluid intake high and by using a humidifier in the case of dry environments. Patients should also use Throat lozenges. On the other hand, since this is a recurring issue over many years, I very strongly suggest speaking with a healthcare professional.

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 was suffering from viral fever in the last week. On 30th December 2024 i felt symptoms of Eustachian tube dysfunction (even have sinus issues) and yesterday for the first time i had a pain in the mastoid bone of my ear, it's swollen and red too and the pain in spread out in my half face (upper jaw teeth pain), neck pain and all... In the past i had issues related to TMJ where while chewing my jaw used to get locked and have suffered serious neck ache like the one I'm having right now in addition to the pain in throat (especially while swallowing).. do i have mastoiditis??
Female | 17
You seem to have a few very worrying symptoms, which are earache and swelling, that are a hint at an ear infection and, in some cases, mastoiditis. Your facial, neck, and throat discomfort may be connected as well. The matter of getting you checked out is to have all aspects of your position estimated. Your history of TMJ and headaches could be the other causes of the discomfort. There are treatments that could work, such as those that lessen the swelling and the pain, and they may produce the result you want. Finally, the accurate examination must be conducted by a physician.

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?
Female | 18
If you still feel sound in your ears and your report shows left maxillary sinusitis with a right maxillary antral polyp and rhinitis, it is important to follow up with an ENT specialist. They can provide you with the best treatment options for your condition.

Dear Doctor, From last couple of days i am suffering from acute pain in my throat specially while swallowing anything and also having cough with mucus but mucus is not coming out i can hear the rattling sound from my throat while coughing and after carefully examining my throat i can see that my left side of tonsil has inflammation with several white spots on it the white spots are there on both the tonsils but i can feel the extreme pain at the left side of tonsil only. I am frequently doing saline gargles but its not helping me out. Further i would request you to kindly advise some good medications for the quick relief. Thank you
Male | 41
You may be experiencing acute tonsillitis, resulting in significant discomfort while swallowing and coughing. The presence of white spots suggests a possible infection. Saline gargles are helpful, but additional treatment may be necessary. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can provide relief. Staying hydrated and using throat lozenges may also ease the pain. However, I recommend seeking a healthcare professional for a precise diagnosis and suitable medications, as they may prescribe antibiotics if a bacterial infection is present.

Female | 13
You may have tonsillitis. It can be felt in your tongue, ear, and throat. The pain may be so severe when swallowing that it feels as though your ear is being struck. Feeling sick in the evenings is not uncommon either. A virus or bacteria can cause the condition. Drinking lots of water, getting plenty of rest, and consuming soft foods can be helpful. For further treatment, a visit to an ENT specialist may be necessary.

A cold can be expressed by symptoms like a stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat. You may be having a cough and/or a runny nose as well. To help your body recover, you should rest, drink plenty of the right kind of liquids like water and warm tea, and to relieve the discomfort of the sore throat try over-the-counter medications like throat lozenges or saline sprays.

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.
