I'm really worried about what's going on with me. I woke up on Sunday with a sore throat and now both my tonsils are super swollen, red, and have these white spots all over them. Plus, my uvula has these weird red dots. Swallowing is so painful, and my lymph nodes are really tender. What could be causing all this and should I be worried?

Unsettling ear sounds can be disturbing!
The "gu gu gu" or motor-like sound in your right ear could be:
- Tinnitus: A common condition characterized by ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ear.
- Eustachian tube dysfunction: The tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the throat might be blocked, causing unusual sounds.
- Earwax buildup: Excess earwax can cause strange noises, especially when lying down.
- Middle ear muscle spasms: Tiny muscles in the middle ear can contract and cause sounds.
To alleviate the issue:
- Consult an ENT specialist: For a thorough examination and diagnosis.
- Try ear drops: To help dissolve excess earwax.
- Use a white noise machine: To mask the sound while sleeping.
- Avoid loud noises: And take regular breaks in quiet environments.
Keep in mind that these sounds can be intermittent and might resolve on their own. However, it's essential to consult a specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.

View allI'm struggling with allergies and sinus issues that have been bothering me for a long time. Every morning I wake up with pain below my eyes and eyebrows. If I take steam, the pain reduces for a bit, but it comes back. On top of that, my right ear has been blocked for over eight months. Just when it feels like it's getting better, I get hit with cold allergies and it's blocked again. It's really frustrating because I can't hear people properly. What do you think I should do?

I'm really worried because I've been having this weird discomfort in my throat for the past 23 weeks. It's mostly at night and feels like something's stuck in there. I already saw an ENT doctor who did a larynx endoscopy and gave me some meds, which worked for about ten days. But now the problem is back and when I eat, it feels like there's this spicy sensation in my throat and even in my ear. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Drinking cold water can cause: - Irritation of the throat lining - Constriction of blood vessels - Inflammation To soothe the sore throat: - Gargle with warm saltwater - Suck on throat lozenges (e.g., Strepsils) - Take over-the-counter pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen) Rest your voice and stay hydrated. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
