Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

A blocked nostril can be quite uncomfortable!

Given your symptoms, possible causes include:

1. _Deviated septum_: A crooked partition between the nostrils.
2. _Nasal polyps_: Growths in the nasal lining.
3. _Chronic sinusitis_: Inflammation of the sinuses.
4. _Allergies_: Seasonal or environmental allergies.
5. _Foreign object_: Something lodged in the nostril.

To alleviate your symptoms, try:

1. _Nasal saline irrigation_: Rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution.
2. _Humidifiers_: Add moisture to the air to ease congestion.
3. _Steam inhalation_: Breathe in warm, moist air to loosen mucus.

Consult an _ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist_ for a thorough examination and diagnosis. They may recommend:

1. _Nasal endoscopy_: A flexible tube with a camera to visualize the nasal passages.
2. _Imaging tests_: CT or MRI scans to rule out underlying conditions.
3. _Medications_: Decongestants, antihistamines, or steroids to alleviate symptoms.

Ringing in the ear after earwax removal can be unsettling!

*Possible Causes*

1. *Temporary irritation*: Earwax removal can cause temporary irritation, leading to ringing.
2. *Middle ear muscle spasm*: The procedure might have triggered a muscle spasm in the middle ear.
3. *Eustachian tube dysfunction*: The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. Dysfunction can cause ringing.

*Remedies*

1. *Wait and observe*: As it's been only 1.5 months, the ringing might resolve on its own.
2. *Ear drops*: Use ear drops like hydrogen peroxide or earwax dissolvers to help soothe the ear.
3. *Relaxation techniques*: Stress can exacerbate tinnitus. Try relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.

*Medical Consultation*

1. *Follow-up with your ENT*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to reassess the situation.
2. *Tinnitus evaluation*: If the ringing persists, ask your ENT about tinnitus evaluation and management options.

*Lifestyle Changes*

1. *Avoid loud noises*: Protect your hearing by avoiding loud environments.
2. *Manage stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities to help cope with tinnitus.
