I'm really worried about something crawling in my left ear and both ears popping like they do on flights. I've also been dealing with some clear mucus in my throat. I was given Montair LC and then Levoday, but didn't feel much better. The nasal endoscopy didn't show anything wrong, and my doctor thinks it's due to allergies. I've been using Avamys nasal spray and saline spray since my fungal sinusitis surgery back in 2015. I also try steam inhalation and the Toynbee maneuver, but after 2.5 months, nothing seems to help. I've even got jaw pain now. Is there any way to permanently fix this?

You are experiencing symptoms of allergic rhinitis, which can lead to eustachian tube dysfunction and discomfort in the ears. The medications prescribed by your ENT specialist are aimed at managing your symptoms. For the sensation of something crawling in your left ear and the ear popping, you can try using Fluticasone nasal spray (brand name Flonase) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. This can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and improve eustachian tube function. For the jaw pain, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to continue using Avamys nasal spray and saline spray as advised, as well as practicing the steam inhalation and Toynbee maneuver. These measures can help alleviate your symptoms. If your symptoms persist despite these interventions, you may need to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been having this weird sensation, like something's crawling in my right ear, but every time I look, I can't find anything. When I use earphones, it feels kinda hollow in that ear, and I've been getting these intense headaches sometimes too. The eye doctor mentioned it might be from dry eyes after my LASIK. Now, I'm feeling some slight pain in my right ear and a bit of numbness. What do you think could be going on, and should I be worried?

I'm really worried because I woke up this morning with a sore throat and noticed that my uvula seems longer than usual. Is this something I should be concerned about, and what can I do to get my uvula back to normal?

My daughter, who's 5 now, has been having really frequent nosebleeds like at least twice a week ever since she was one year old. We've been using Botroclot, Neosporin ointment, and ice almost all the time. The bleeding is quite heavy and doesn't stop unless we use Botroclot. We've done blood tests for clotting, and everything came back normal. We were told that this might normalize as she grows older, but honestly, we're really worried about it. Could you suggest what might be going on or what else we could do?
managing environmental factors (like dryness), avoid irritants, and practice good nasal care. However, if the bleeding persists or worsens, its advisable to seek further consultation with an ENT specialist who can investigate any underlying causes and provide targeted treatment.
