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?

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.

I've been dealing with this weird smell in my nose that only I can feel, and it only happens when I exhale. It's not just a smell, it's like a warm sensation in my chest, but there's no real pain, just discomfort. I have a history of headaches that seem to be linked to weather changes and are usually one-sided or behind my eyes. I'm seeing an ENT who's given me antibiotics and an allergy spray, and there was a little improvement, but the smell came back around day eight of the ten-day antibiotic cycle. I also noticed that drinking coffee makes the smell worse. It's like a dusty, smoky, stuffy, warm odor, and it's almost like I can feel it too. My ENT is planning a CT scan of my sinuses and mentioned that everything looks good from the exams he did with a scope. I've done blood work and urine tests for STDs and other diseases and everything was negative. He mentioned the chance of a brain tumor is extremely slim based on the follow-ups and exams. I'm really puzzled and just want to figure out what this could be. How much further do I need to go to get some solid answers?

A contrast enhanced CT scan of your nose and paranasal sinuses should reveal the pathology.

I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my throat, and it's really tough to swallow. There's also this annoying feeling like a lump's stuck in my throat. Any idea what might be going on?

Persistent swollen lymph nodes can be concerning. Given the FNAC result shows reactive lymph nodes, it's likely a benign condition. Consider the following steps: - Consult a hematologist or an oncologist for a second opinion. - Rule out underlying conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or autoimmune disorders. - Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans may help identify the cause. - Excisional biopsy might be necessary if the node persists. Don't hesitate to seek a specialist's opinion for further guidance.
