Question 1

I'm dealing with some pretty bad swelling just below the right side of my jaw, and I'm wondering if it's because of tonsilitis. Is this something serious? The pain in my throat is terrible, and swallowing is almost unbearable right now. I've started on augmentin, reswas, and hexidime gargle on my doctor's advice. Any ideas on how long this swelling might last or if I should be more worried?

Accepted Answer

Get a throate swab done and visit ENT docotro for appropriate management

Question 2

I'm feeling a bit concerned because there's this dull pain near my windpipe, on the right side of my neck, right in the front. The pain seems to come up when I press on it or tilt my head a certain way. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

That could be muscle pain also, maintain proper posture and take adequate rest.

Question 3

I'm having this issue where water got into my ear, and now it feels really full and painful. I've been using Cipla ear wax drops for the past four days, but it's not making any difference. What should I do? Is this something serious?

Accepted Answer

Given your symptoms, consider consulting an audiologist or ENT specialist for personalized guidance.

Possible treatment options:

- Hearing aids or cochlear implants for sensorineural hearing loss
- Sound therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy for tinnitus
- Middle ear treatments for mixed hearing loss

Lifestyle changes:

- Protect your hearing with earplugs or earmuffs
- Avoid loud noises or reduce exposure
- Manage stress and anxiety related to tinnitus

Can you let me know how many hours of sleep are recommended if I'm taking Montek LC? I usually get around 7 to 8 hours, but I'm still feeling drowsy. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

7-8 hrs of sleep is enough but the tablet usually makes you feel drowsy for upto 10 hrs.
