You are experiencing symptoms of allergic rhinitis, which can lead to eustachian tube dysfunction and discomfort in the ears. The medications prescribed by your ENT specialist are aimed at managing your symptoms. For the sensation of something crawling in your left ear and the ear popping, you can try using Fluticasone nasal spray (brand name Flonase) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. This can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and improve eustachian tube function. For the jaw pain, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to continue using Avamys nasal spray and saline spray as advised, as well as practicing the steam inhalation and Toynbee maneuver. These measures can help alleviate your symptoms. If your symptoms persist despite these interventions, you may need to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Question 4

I've been dealing with a really bad cough that gets worse at night, but it's milder during the day. Its been about a week now, and Im really starting to get worried. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do to find some relief?

Accepted Answer

For nighttime cough, you can try taking **Benadryl** (diphenhydramine) at night to help with the cough and improve sleep quality. For daytime relief, you can consider taking **Robitussin DM** (dextromethorphan and guaifenesin) to help suppress the cough during the day. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for both medications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I've got this infection on my tongue, and it feels like I've bitten both sides of it. It's been going on for almost a week now, and I'm in pain. What do you think I should do?

Accepted Answer

I recommend using an antifungal medication like clotrimazole oral troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for about two weeks. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate your tongue further.
