I'm dealing with granular pharyngitis and my ENT said my throat is a bit red inside, plus I've got this ongoing acidity issue. I've been put on ESSOM L and Coolora mouthwash for ten days. Should I be worried about granular pharyngitis? Is it just a common thing or can it turn into something serious down the line?

Granular pharyngitis is a condition characterized by the presence of small, red spots on the back of the throat. It is usually caused by chronic irritation or inflammation of the throat. In most cases, granular pharyngitis is not a serious condition and can be managed with appropriate treatment. The medication ESSOM L is a combination of Esomeprazole and Levosulpiride, which helps in reducing stomach acid production and improving digestion. The recommended dosage is usually one tablet before breakfast for 10 days. Coolora mouthwash is used to relieve symptoms of sore throat and mouth infections. It is usually recommended to use the mouthwash after meals or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment plan and complete the full course of medication as advised by your ENT specialist. Additionally, managing your acidity issue through dietary and lifestyle modifications can help prevent further irritation to the throat. If you have any concerns about your condition or treatment, it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

View allI'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?
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.

I've been using Waxonil ear drops because I thought it would help the earwax come out, but the wax just isn't coming out and now it feels like my ears are blocked. What could be happening, and what should I do next?
Yes, in most cases, the loosened ear wax should come out on its own after using Waxonil ear drops. Waxonil ear drops soften ear wax so it can run out naturally without harming the ear. so it will takes some time if your wax is so hard to become soft if after 3-4 days doesnt come consult ent surgeon for wax removal procedure

I recently started taking cepodem xp 325, along with Sinarest and a nasal spray. I'm curious about something I've read that the nasal spray works for about 12 hours, but when would be a good time to do steam inhalation after using the spray? I've been having a slight nose block that keeps switching from one nostril to the other. Also, I've noticed some leg pain but no cough or fever. Just trying to figure out the best way to manage this. Any advice?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 1-2 hours after using a nasal spray before doing steam inhalation. This allows the nasal spray to take effect and reduces the risk of washing it out too soon. You can do steam inhalation around 5-6 hours after using the nasal spray Flutiflo to help with your slight nose blockage. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the nasal spray and steam inhalation for best results. For your symptoms of slight nose blockage on and off, with no cough, fever, or sore throat, along with slight leg pain, continue using Cepodem XP 325 for the infection and Sinarest for symptom relief. Additionally, you can use Flutiflo nasal spray as prescribed for your nasal symptoms. Make sure to take Cepodem XP 325 as directed by your healthcare provider and follow the recommended dosage for Sinarest and Flutiflo as well. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
