I had a mastoidectomy tympanoplasty about three weeks back, and ever since, I've been hearing these dub dub sounds every now and then. But since yesterday, I've been hearing it a lot more, and just today, it went on for about 20-30 minutes straight. There's no pain, but I'm really curious about why this is happening. It seems to get worse when I'm traveling, especially if there are potholes on the road. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

A flaky skin issue in your inner ear, followed by a transparent liquid discharge and pain, requires attention.
Possible causes:
- Ear eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Middle ear infection
- Eustachian tube dysfunction
Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Avoid further peeling or inserting objects into your ear to prevent infection or damage.

View allI'm 17 and recently had a check-up where the doctor diagnosed me with acute otitis media in my right ear, possibly due to my cold. I've been taking antibiotics like Natravox, using a nasal spray, and a tablet called Nasathera for the cold. The pain in my ear has gone away after taking painkillers, and my cold has cleared up too. But I'm still not hearing fully from my right earthere's this ringing sound. I dance as a hobby, and with a dance concert coming up soon, I'm wondering if it's safe to continue practicing or do any strenuous activities with this ear infection. Could this affect my recovery or hearing any further?

I'm feeling worried because I've been experiencing dizziness when I walk after sitting in a chair for about half an hour. This has been going on for the past year, and I've already consulted a neurologist and even tried some medications, but they haven't really helped much. Some doctors suggested it might be related to an ear problem. Can you please give me some advice on where to seek treatment for this kind of issue? It's starting to make me anxious about going to the office. I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

I'm really worried because my husband has had a swollen tonsil on one side for almost a year now. He's been experiencing pain on that side in both his throat and ear. We've checked Google, and it mentioned that asymmetrical tonsils could mean tonsil cancer, which is terrifying. We've seen lots of ENT specialists and had tests like Neck USG, CTPNS, and Laryngoscopy done, all of which came back normal. But none of these doctors have mentioned anything about the asymmetrical tonsil. Could this still possibly be tonsil cancer, or is there something else that might be causing these symptoms?
Asymmetrical tonsils can be due to various reasons other than cancer, such as chronic tonsillitis or tonsil stones. In your husband's case, since the tests have been normal and there are no other concerning symptoms, it's less likely to be related to cancer. To help reduce the swelling and pain in the tonsil, your husband can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Gargling with warm salt water can also help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, throat lozenges and staying hydrated can provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, your husband can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine or visiting a doctor for further evaluation.
