Question 1

I'm experiencing some swelling on my uvula and it really hurts at the back of my throat. It kind of feels like there's something stuck in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Swelling on the uvula with pain and feeling like something is stuck in your mouth could be due to inflammation or infection. This condition is known as uvulitis. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and using throat lozenges to soothe the pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing benzocaine for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 2

I'm feeling this weird sensation like something is stuck in my throat, and my chest feels so heavy like it's being pulled together with a string or something. Any idea what could be going on?

Accepted Answer

get ECG done to rule out heart problems or gastritis

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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 curious about something that's been happening to me. Every time I sneeze, I end up with throat pain and my voice changes, but it all seems to go back to normal by the next day. Do you think this might be some sort of infection?

Some throat discomfort and watering from nose and eyes is normal after a powerful sneeze reflex.
