I'm a bit worried about taking Vertin 8mg. My doctor recommended it for three times a day, but I'm not sure about it. Is it really safe to take that much?

I'm really concerned about my hearing. Over the past four months, I've been experiencing sensorineural hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and tinnitus. The sounds I'm dealing with are around 60 to 70 dB. Could you help me understand what's going on and what options I might have?

Chronic cold symptoms may indicate chronic sinusitis. Cetirizine helps alleviate symptoms, but a permanent cure depends on the underlying cause. Possible treatments for chronic sinusitis: - Antibiotics (if bacterial infection) - Nasal corticosteroids - Saline nasal irrigation - Surgery (in severe cases) Consult an ENT specialist for: - Proper diagnosis - Personalized treatment plan - Discussion of potential allergen avoidance or immunotherapy Note: Cetirizine is an antihistamine, not a cure for sinusitis.

I'm really worried because after using a Q-tip, my ear got totally clogged and I can barely hear anything now. I tried putting Debrox in on the same day but it didn't help. I even went to Urgent Care and the doctor tried flushing my ear, but still no improvement. Now I need to see an ENT. Is there anything they can do? Can you tell me if there's a chance the hearing loss might not be permanent? I'm not in any pain though.

Visit ENT docotor for evaluation and get audiometry test for any hearing impairement.

I'm wondering if it's okay to keep inhaling steam for like, several months, doing it morning and evening for about 10 minutes each time. I've been doing this since October because my ENT doctor suggested it for a sore throat and blocked nose, along with some meds. Sometimes I still wake up with a blocked nose, so I've continued with the steam. And honestly, I also think it might help with things considering the pandemic stuff, even though I'm all good now after having COVID during the 2nd wave. Is it safe to keep doing this for a really long time, say 6 to 7 months?

Don't steam longer than 10 to 15 minutes for each session. However, you can repeat steam inhalation two or three times per day if you're still having symptoms.
