Question 1

I've been dealing with this feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat for the last 34 years and it's really frustrating because it happens even in the summer. I tried gargling but that didn't help at all. A few months back I saw an ENT specialist in Ghaziabad, and he said nothing was stuck in my throat. What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

You can try using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. You can take Mucinex 600mg extended-release tablets once daily with plenty of water. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce any post-nasal drip contributing to the sensation. Use Flonase 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. If the issue persists, you may consider a referral to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation of acid reflux as a possible cause of your symptoms.

Question 2

What precautions should I take after an eardrum surgery and how long should I avoid washing my hair to prevent water from entering the ear

Accepted Answer

After eardrum surgery, it's crucial to keep the ear dry and avoid activities that could put pressure on the ear. Generally, you should avoid washing your hair or showering for at least a week after surgery and for up to 6 weeks, you should prevent water from entering the operated ear. To do this, you can use a cotton ball coated with Vaseline to form a barrier before showering or washing your hair

Question 3

I've been smoking and drinking on and off, and about 10 days ago, I had a really bad throat pain and cold fever. My doctor gave me Ampoxin 625 mg, and it completely went away. But I've noticed that whenever I masturbate at night, by the next morning, I've got this awful sore throat. It's been like this for 10 days straight. Is there some connection between masturbation and sore throats?

Accepted Answer

refer to ENT

I'm having some trouble with my throat and it's making it hard for me to breathe properly. On top of that, I have a dry cough which is really annoying. I can't seem to lie down or get any sleep. Do you have any advice on what I can do about it?
