I'm noticing a whooshing sound in my right ear that's in sync with my heartbeat. It seems to get louder whenever I run or climb stairs. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

Consider a second opinion from another ENT specialist or a maxillofacial surgeon. Discuss:
- Repeat imaging tests (MRIultrasound) to monitor gland size.
- Salivary gland function tests (e.g., salivary flow rate).
- Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to rule out underlying conditions.
Explore treatment options, such as:
- Medications to reduce gland size.
- Surgical interventions (e.g., parotidectomy).
- Lifestyle modifications (e.g., dietary changes, stress management).

View allI've been having frequent nosebleeds lately, and I'm not sure why because I'm not injuring my nose at all. It just starts bleeding out of nowhere, like yesterday it happened three times. The bleeding isn't too heavy, but it does keep happening. Should I be worried about this? What might be causing it, and is there something I should do to prevent it?
Cialis and Viagra are prescription medications for erectile dysfunction (ED). Consult a doctor in Chennai to discuss your suitability and obtain a prescription. Pharmacies in Chennai require a prescription to dispense these medications. Other options like herbal supplements or over-the-counter (OTC) products may not be effective or safe. Consult a urologist or sexologist for personalized advice. Remember, ED can be a symptom of underlying health issues, so a medical consultation is essential.

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

I took a pudin hara pearl and it ended up getting stuck in my throat, bursting possibly because of dryness. After feeling an intense peppermint sensation in my throat and nose, I'm left with this roughness and dryness, feeling like there's something still there. What should I do about this?
For a running nose, consider trying: Tablets: 1. Loratadine (Claritin) - non-drowsy, 24-hour relief 2. Cetirizine (Zyrtec) - fast-acting, 24-hour relief 3. Fexofenadine (Allegra) - non-drowsy, 24-hour relief Nasal Sprays (milder than Otrivin): 1. Azelastine (Astelin) 2. Oxymetazoline (Afrin) - use for only 3-5 days Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medication, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or take other medications.
