I've been experiencing a problem lately. After wearing a mask for 12 hours, I've noticed my nose starts bleeding, but everything seems normal when I'm not wearing it. What could be causing this issue? Could the mask be affecting something with my nose?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Nosebleeds can be triggered by various factors, and wearing a mask for an extended period of time can lead to dryness and irritation of the nasal passages, making them more prone to bleeding. To help prevent nosebleeds while wearing a mask, you can use a saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly inside the nostrils before putting on the mask to help protect the delicate nasal skin.

View allI'm starting to experience some weird issues with my right ear. It feels like a broken speaker, vibrating on and off. It's even worse with loud noises. This all began after a long flight, and I'm worried because Ive had problems with this ear before due to a cholesteotoma. What could be happening?
You may be experiencing symptoms of ear barotrauma, especially considering your history of cholesteatoma and recent long haul flight. I recommend using a decongestant nasal spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to help relieve the pressure in your ear. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) for any discomfort. Additionally, consider using earplugs or earmuffs in noisy environments to protect your ear. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this recurring issue with my throat where I keep getting these ulcers. They show up pretty often and usually pop up again not long after they heal. I'm wondering if this might be linked to my habit of eating cold stuff. Could that be causing the ulcers to come back?

I'm really struggling with this constant cough I've got in my throat; it's there almost all the time and I end up coughing a lot just to clear it. It's getting pretty unbearable for me. Sometimes, I even feel like something is dripping slowly from the top part of my nose. I recently had an NCCT PNS scan done, and my doctor says there's nothing serious going on, just recommended breathing exercises like Pranayam and some jogging, which honestly haven't helped much so far. Before making any more moves, I'd like to get a deeper understanding of what's actually in the report, especially the IMPRESSION part. Can you help explain what the medical findings mean?
share me reports so that i can elaborate about your symptoms
