Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I was cleaning my ears and some cotton from the earbud got stuck in my right ear. I'm not sure how to remove it myself. Could you advise me on what to do? Or maybe suggest a nearby doctor I can visit to get it taken care of? I live in Palava City, Dombivili East, Thane, 421204.

Accepted Answer

Persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction can be challenging.
Consider consulting an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Possible treatment options:

- Nasal decongestants or steroids to reduce nasal congestion
- Eustachian tube exercises or balloon dilation to improve tube function
- Hearing aids or assistive listening devices to address muffled hearing
- Surgical options, such as tympanostomy tubes, may be considered in severe cases

Relief is possible with proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 2

I was diagnosed with a left antrochoanal nasal polyp back in 2018 and my ENT has tried everything but says surgery is the only option now. I keep getting infections with bloody discharge from my left nose and can only breathe through my right nose and mouth. I'm really scared of surgery and even needles I can't even handle blood tests easily. I've heard about Dupixent (dupilumab) injections for treating polyps but can't find an ENT in India who can help me with this. Money isn't an issue, I just want to avoid surgery. Does Dupixent work for antrochoanal polyps and is it available in India or do I need to go abroad for it

Accepted Answer

Dupixent (dupilumab) injections are a potential treatment option for nasal polyps, including antrochoanal polyps, and are available in India. While your ENT may have explored other treatments, Dupixent is a viable alternative for managing symptoms and potentially avoiding surgery, especially if you are hesitant about the procedure and its potential complications. You should consult with an ENT specialist in India who is familiar with Dupixent and can assess your specific case to determine if it's the right course of action.

Question 3

I'm dealing with a pretty painful ulcer on my uvula that I've had for about three days now. The doctor gave me some meds, but I'm really anxious to know how long it'll take to heal. Also, is there anything I can do to help ease the pain in the meantime? I've heard about using Betadine garglewould that be helpful? Any advice on speeding up the recovery would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

the fastest way to cure is treat the underlying cause

I'm experiencing some ear pain and it kind of feels like there's water sloshing around in my head. The doctor prescribed me drep drops and Swich CV tablets. Should I be concerned about this feeling or these medications? How do they actually help with what's going on?
