Question 1

I've been having these solid gummy fleshy things come out of my nose which I think might be nasal polyps. I get really bad sinus infections about three times a year since my tonsils and adenoids were taken out when I was in 4th grade. I'm 20 now and these sinus infections just seem to hit me overnight. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to prevent them?

Accepted Answer

*Foods to Avoid*

1. Spicy or acidic foodsdrinks
2. Dairy products (if lactose intolerant)
3. Processed meats
4. Sugary foodsdrinks

*Foods to Eat Regularly*

1. Warm liquids (tea, broth)
2. Soups (vegetable, chicken)
3. Honey (antibacterial properties)
4. Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons)
5. Leafy greens (spinach, kale)

*Supplements and Medications*

1. Vitamin C supplements
2. Probiotics
3. Zinc lozenges
4. Throat Coat tea or slippery elm lozenges
5. Consult your doctor about daily antacids or acid reducers (if GERD is suspected)

Consult your doctor or an ENT specialist for personalized advice and treatment.

Question 2

I've been having pain and occasional wetness in my left ear, and my doctor recommended surgery to close a hole. Is the surgery absolutely necessary or can this be treated with allopathy or homeopathy medicines? Also, I've noticed a slight hearing loss if I go through with the surgery, could the problem come back? What are the chances of success with the surgery?

Accepted Answer

A small ear hole can be managed with medication if dry and infection-free. If persistent wetness or hearing loss exists, surgery is advised. Recurrence is rare with proper post-op care.

Question 3

I've been dealing with this Tinnitus in my left ear for about two years now and it seems to be getting worse. I came across a tablet called Tinnicar and I'm wondering if it has any side effects. I'm really curious to know if it might help or if there are things I should be careful about. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

continue the same medication

I've got a clogged ear that's making me feel really uneasy, and there's no pain, but it feels like some air is trapped in there. I had a cold about a week ago. Should I be worried? What can I do to feel better?
