I'm really concerned about my hearing. Over the past four months, I've been experiencing sensorineural hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and tinnitus. The sounds I'm dealing with are around 60 to 70 dB. Could you help me understand what's going on and what options I might have?

Chronic cold symptoms may indicate chronic sinusitis.
Cetirizine helps alleviate symptoms, but a permanent cure depends on the underlying cause.
Possible treatments for chronic sinusitis:
- Antibiotics (if bacterial infection)
- Nasal corticosteroids
- Saline nasal irrigation
- Surgery (in severe cases)
Consult an ENT specialist for:
- Proper diagnosis
- Personalized treatment plan
- Discussion of potential allergen avoidance or immunotherapy
Note: Cetirizine is an antihistamine, not a cure for sinusitis.

View allI'm really concerned because I've been able to see my epiglottis for about a month now, and it seems like it's sitting really high. I'm not having any issues with breathing, swallowing, or speaking, but I'm still worried about why this is happening. Will it go away on its own, or is there something I should be doing to help it get back to normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
You may be experiencing epiglottitis, which is inflammation of the epiglottis. In adults, epiglottitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment. Antibiotics such as Ceftriaxone or Cefotaxime may be prescribed to treat the infection. In severe cases, hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics may be necessary. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and management of your condition.

My 13-year-old daughter has been having these blood clots coming out of her nose and she's even coughing them up too. They vary in size from a quarter to bigger than her hand. She had her nose cauterized about a month ago, but it's not helping. She's had this issue before, but it usually stopped within a week after the procedure. This time she's never had clots that she's coughed up. What's going on here and what should we do?

I've been feeling some pressure on the left side of my throat lately, and it's kind of hard to breathe at times, which makes me want to cough. There's this strange feeling on the left side of my chest too sometimes. I can still take deep breaths without any issues, but my pulse can be a bit high, like around 100 beats a minute. Generally, my health is fine, and the only medication I'm on is birth control pills. Should I be concerned about this? I'm traveling abroad right now and will be for the next two weeks, so I'm wondering if I need to do something about it or can wait until I'm back home.
