Question 1

I'm feeling a bit worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing, and I could really use your advice. Lately, I've been noticing a pressure in my ears and a popping sound in my eustachian tube whenever I swallow. There's no pain involved, but there's this weird globus sensation in my throat that's painless too. On top of that, my nose feels clogged like it's dripping, and sometimes I get acid reflux. I've already checked for COVID, and the test came back negative, so I'm just curious if all these could be related somehow?

Accepted Answer

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

Question 2

I've had a sore and scratchy throat for the last four months. I've seen multiple ENT specialists, and each one gave me a different diagnosis one said acid reflux, but I don't feel any heartburn, another found ethmoid sinusitis on a CT scan and suggested post nasal drip as the cause. He prescribed meds for a month and mentioned sinus surgery if it didn't improve, but I didn't go back because I don't want surgery. The next ENT did another CT scan, which showed sinusitis and lymphadenitis, but he said everything was normal and it's just an infection. I don't feel normal though, and after searching online, I'm worried about long-term sore throat being linked to cancer. Could this just be an infection, or is there a chance it's something more serious?

Accepted Answer

A thorough ent check-up is advised to the patient,including endoscopy,and also a biopsy sample is taken to rule out malignancy .Ent opinion is advised.

Question 3

I've been dealing with this really painful and persistent issue where the inside of my right nostril is dried out and raw and it just won't heal. It's been ongoing for about 8 months now and I've even been to the ER twice. I've tried everything from antibiotics to all the natural remedies I could think of like humidifiers, ice, heat packs, vaseline, coconut oil, saline spray, pain medications, and even steam, but nothing seems to work. The pain is worse than anything I've experiencedeven worse than childbirth. I'm super worried. What else could be causing this problem?
