I'm experiencing a weird sound in my right ear every now and then. It kind of sounds like a motor running or a continuous 'gu gu gu' noise. I can't quite figure it out. It mostly happens when I'm trying to sleep, and sometimes it just stops on its own. I'm really confused about what's going on. Any idea what this could be?

The whooshing sound in sync with your heartbeat is likely due to:
- Pulsatile tinnitus
- Eustachian tube dysfunction
- Vascular issues (e.g., abnormal blood flow)
Consult an ENT specialist or an audiologist for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

View allMy husband's 28 and he's been dealing with a sore throat and pain for a few days now, but he's not running a fever. Yesterday morning there was blood in his sputum, and it happened again today. Could you please give us some advice on what this might be about? We're a bit concerned.
Severe pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx) causes severe irritation in the throat, which results in violent bouts of cough. This cough can sometimes cause rupture of some small blood vessels, which results in small amounts of blood being expectorated with sputum. It is no cause for concern, but if the bleeding persists and increases in quantity, a physician consult is necessary.

I'm using cepodem xp 325, Sinarest, and a nasal spray. I was just wondering, how long after using the nasal spray can I do steam inhalation? I read somewhere that the nasal spray works for around 12 hours, so is it okay to do steam maybe 5 or 6 hours after the spray?
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 be absorbed properly and have its intended effect. So, you can safely do steam inhalation 5-6 hours after using Sinarest nasal spray. Remember to follow the recommended dosage of Sinarest and consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

I'm having this sharp, sticking pain in my right ear that comes every 15 minutes or so, but it's really brief, maybe 2 or 3 seconds each time. It almost feels like something is touching my eardrum for a quick moment and then it stops. This has been going on for a week now. A few days ago, I had a mild fever and cold, but otherwise, I'm feeling better now. The pain isn't that severe, but Im worried if this could be the start of something more serious. What do you think this could be?
That could be ear effusion,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,and practice valsalva for better relief.
