Question 1

I've been waking up with my right ear feeling blocked and kinda wet for the past three days. There's this ringing sound in that ear that sticks around all day, which is really starting to bug me. Could you help me figure out what's going on with it?

Accepted Answer

For dry sinusitis, consider:

- Nasal moisturizers: Nasogel, Rhinocort Aqua, or Simply Saline
- Humidifiers to add moisture to the air
- Increase saline spray usage to 3-4 times a day

For swelling and congestion:

- Consult an ENT specialist for a proper examination
- Consider prescription medications like nasal corticosteroids
- Otrivin can be used as needed, but follow usage guidelines

Maintain good nasal hygiene and consult your doctor for personalized guidance.

Question 2

I've been dealing with post nasal drips for a while and was using Nasivion S spray and Montair LC, but now my new doctor switched me to Metaspray nasal spray and Histrafree 120 tablets. After taking them this morning, I noticed swelling and a discoloration on the roof of my mouth. Should I stop taking these meds or keep going with what the doctor prescribed?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the new medications. The swelling and discoloration of the hard palate in your mouth could be a sign of an allergic response. I recommend stopping the Metaspray nasal spray and Tab Histrafree 120 immediately. Please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've been having some pain on the right side of my neck whenever I yawn or chew, and I've heard it might be related to a cold, but that doesn't really make sense to me. Any idea what could be causing this and what I should do about it?

Accepted Answer

While yawning or chewing, pain on the right side of the neck could be due to muscle strain or inflammation. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dosage of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently massaging the neck muscles may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

It's been two months since my DNS surgery but I still feel pressure in my nose and forehead often. I've been following all the precautions and taking my meds properly so why does this keep happening? Is this normal or should I be worried?

for P/E ENT specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
