Hey, I'm a med student and lately, I've been hearing this sound in my ear. I think it might be pulsatile tinnitus. It all started like 34 hours ago after I finished my bath. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by various factors such as increased blood flow in the blood vessels near the ear. In your case, since it started after taking a bath, it could be related to changes in blood flow or pressure. I recommend you to try using a white noise machine to help mask the sound. Additionally, you can take Ginkgo Biloba supplement, 120 mg twice daily, to potentially improve blood circulation and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Hey, I'm really worried about my mom. Shes been dealing with vertigo, and our family doctor says its related to her middle ear. For the past two days, shes been stuck in bed. Every little move makes her so dizzy, and she even vomits when trying to get up. On top of that, staying in bed has caused her shoulder and back to hurt terribly. What can we do to help her feel better and get rid of this quickly? This is all so sudden and she's never had these issues before. She's on vertistar md8 as prescribed. Any advice would be appreciated.
For vertigo symptoms related to the middle ear, it is important to continue taking Vertistar MD-8 as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, I recommend keeping her well-hydrated and ensuring she gets plenty of rest. To alleviate the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, she can also take 'Stugeron' which helps in relieving vertigo symptoms. For the shoulder and back pain, she can take 'Flexon' to help with the discomfort. It is advisable for her to avoid sudden head movements and to slowly change positions to prevent triggering vertigo episodes. If her symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.

A little of my Azeflo nasal spray dripped down my throat, and I'm worried because I ended up swallowing some of it. The taste was terrible and it made me vomit. Is that something I need to worry about?
A little of Azeflo nasal spray dripping down your throat and swallowing a little should not cause harm. However, if you are experiencing vomiting and an awful taste, it is best to rinse your mouth and drink some water to help alleviate the taste. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
