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've been dealing with a sore throat since last week, and it was really red. My uvula got swollen, and it felt like it was touching my tongue. Now I'm feeling better, but my uvula still looks bigger than usual, and the tip seems black. Plus, my right tonsil is a bit swollen. Should I be worried about these symptoms?
You may have had a case of acute pharyngitis with uvulitis, and now you are experiencing some residual inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and inflammation, you can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help with the swelling and discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused about something and hope you can help. Can a deviated nasal septum actually cause chest pain? Also, if someone has DNS but their oxygen saturation levels are good, should they still be worried? Would love some clarity!
DNS has nothing to do with chest pain generally. Please have your chest pain evaluated in detail.

I'm dealing with a bit of a situation hereIve been getting a slight cough, and whenever I cough, there's this small gel-like droplet that's all sticky on my tongue. It's kind of weird. I dont have any fever or cold symptoms though. I've been doing saltwater gargles at home to try and ease it a bit. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
take syrup ascoril for 5 days twice a day
