Question 1

I'm really worried about my 5-year-old son's frequent nosebleeds. It's been happening for about a month now, and even though the amount of blood isn't much, sometimes it happens twice a day. We saw an ENT doctor around 15 days ago, and they said it was anterior and suggested using paraffin drops and saline. It did help a bit at first, but then the nosebleeds started becoming more frequent again over the past few days. He's currently taking Oleptal DT 150 twice a day for childhood epilepsy. Do you think we should go back for another check-up?

Question 2

I've been taking Ebast-M for about four years, and whenever I miss taking it for like three days, I start feeling this pain on one side of my throat and get random sneezing fits. Can you help me figure out what's going on and maybe suggest how I can manage or reduce these symptoms? It's been a bit of a hassle, so any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

It seems like you are experiencing symptoms of allergies due to missing your ebastine and montelukast tablets. To reduce your throat pain and sneezing, you can start by taking Ebast-M tablet again. The usual dosage is one tablet once daily. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Paracetamol for throat pain. It is important to continue taking your prescribed medication regularly to manage your allergy symptoms effectively.

Question 3

I've been having this on-and-off pain in my right side submandibular gland for some time now, the weird thing is the swelling just won't go away. It's been like this for 2 years! And lately, for about a month, there's this persistent pain at the base of my neck where the skull ends and also inside my head, all on the right side. I'm struggling to find a doctor who can help; two of them suggested removing the gland, but it still produces saliva. I'm really hoping there's another solution that doesn't involve surgery. Is there anything else I could try?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic inflammation and pain in your submandibular gland on the right side, along with swelling that has been present for 2 years. The recent development of pain in the back of your neck, at the base of your skull, and inside your head on the right side is concerning. Given the persistent swelling and pain, it is important to address this issue promptly. I recommend seeking a consultation with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management. They may consider a thorough examination, imaging studies, and possibly a biopsy to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, warm compresses applied to the affected area may provide some relief. As for medication, you can try a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin-Clavulanate to address any possible infection in the gland. However, please note that this is a general recommendation and should be confirmed by a healthcare professional after a proper evaluation. I hope you find the relief you are seeking and that your symptoms improve soon.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
