Question 1

I've been dealing with some really bad ear pain for the last three days, and it's only in my left ear. It's so painful that I can't even eat anything. It feels like there's something stuck in there, but when I try to put my finger in to check, it just hurts too much. What could be going on with my ear, and should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

Throat tightness or blockage can be unsettling.

Before suggesting medicines, consider:

- Allergies or environmental irritants
- Acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Anxiety or stress
- Muscle tension

For relief, try:

- Antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine for allergies
- Antacids or proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux
- Relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation for anxiety
- Throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water for soothing

Consult a doctor for personalized advice and proper diagnosis.

Question 2

I've been reading about PRP injections and their potential benefits for reducing tinnitus and improving sensorineural hearing loss. I'm curious if this is actually effective. Also, I'm wondering whether this treatment can be done as an inpatient procedure instead of a daycare one. I live in Hyderabad, so if you have any local recommendations or leads, that would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

There is limited usage of such treatment in general practice,visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

Question 3

My 7-year-old son is a mouth breather but doesn't have any infections. He didn't used to get colds or coughs often, but now it's happening more frequently. We've tried nasal sprays like physiomer, but he still breathes through his mouth. Should we consider surgery or wait for his adenoids to shrink on their own? Could this mouth breathing affect his physical or mental growth?

Accepted Answer

Breathing problem can be emergency... Should visit any nearby paeditric hospital as early as possible

I keep getting pain on the right side of my throat and sometimes it's hard to talk. I also feel like vomiting and the muscles in that area keep pulling. The doctor said it might be because of tonsils and suggested surgery. What will happen if I don't get my tonsils removed?

I understand your symptoms. However I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through 1. The duration of your symptoms and the severity of pain 2. Associated ear pain, cold or cough 3. Any symptoms of acidity or reflux as this is a very common cause of throat pain
