I'm dealing with this constant itch and pain inside my ear, plus there's this ringing noise that just won't go away. It's been happening for about 23 days now. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Throat pain can be quite uncomfortable.

Before providing a prescription, consider:

  • Staying hydrated with warm fluids like tea or broth
  • Gargling with salt water
  • Using a humidifier
  • Avoiding spicy or acidic foods

For relief, you can try:

  • Pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen
  • Throat lozenges or sprays containing phenol or menthol

However, for a personalized prescription and proper diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor.

I'm experiencing this weird heaviness on the left front side of my face, and sometimes I get pain in my left eye too. It feels worse in the morning. I already got my eyes checked, and they said everything's fine. Could this be something other than an eye issue, like maybe my sinuses or something else? It's just really uncomfortable, and Im worried about what it could be. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a tension headache or migraine. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for relief of head heaviness and pain in the left eye. You can take it every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 3,000-4,000mg in a day. Additionally, you can try using ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg for further pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated, get enough rest, and manage stress to help prevent these symptoms from occurring.

I had to have some teeth removed a few months back, and I've been having a rough time since. One of the teeth was near the back on the upper part, and ever since then, I've noticed this small hole where I can suck and push air through. Now I'm dealing with migraines almost daily and this awful smell coming from one nostril. There's also a lot of smelly mucus, and it seems to be running down the back of my throat, making me blow my nose like 25 times a day. Could this all be related to getting my teeth removed, and what should I do about it?

Without any further delay visit Dentist for appropriate management.

I've had swelling under my right jawline for the past 14 days, and it hurts when I eat. A scan showed a 7mm stone in the main duct where it comes out of the gland. The pain has stopped for the last 3 days, but I can still feel the lump. Is surgery the only option for this? If so, would it be done through the mouth or from outside the neck? Can I get sialendoscopy instead, and where's the nearest place to get it done in Amritsar?

A salivary gland stone is the likely culprit of your swollen jaw and pain when eating. While surgery is an option, sialendoscopy (a minimally invasive procedure) is often a first choice. It's best to seek a specialist's opinion on the best course of action
