Question 1

I'm dealing with a really bad sinus infection, and while my cough and nasal blockage have gotten better, my ears still feel blocked. Since yesterday, every time I yawn, there's pain either in my throat or mouth, and I can't really pinpoint the exact spot. Could this be related to the cold and blocked ears, or is there something else going on?

Accepted Answer

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I've had chronic sinusitis and had DNS surgery twice, but I still feel heavy movement in my forehead and eyebrows, especially on the left side. Right now I'm taking levocetrizine hydrochloride 5mg and ambroxol hcl 60mg tablets, which have helped a bit with the dullness. Can I increase the dose to twice a day? I'm worried about side effects because last time I tried that, I had sinus congestion and discharge

Accepted Answer

It's generally not recommended to increase the dosage of levocetrizine or ambroxol without consulting a doctor, especially since you've experienced side effects with higher doses in the past. Increased doses of these medications could exacerbate those side effects or have other unforeseen consequences. allergy medicines might lessen allergy symptoms of sinusitis caused by allergies

Question 3

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old son. He recently had a BERA test, and the results showed normal waves in his right ear but absent waves in the left. What could this possibly mean? I'm scheduled to see his doctor next week, but the waiting is stressing me out and I'd love to get a second opinion in the meantime. Can you shed some light on this?

Accepted Answer

Bera test is used for  hearing examination can determine the type of abnormality (conductive or sensorineural), severity (hearing threshold), and hearing loss (inner ear or other parts) of the child. and absence of waves can indicate neurological issues in the hearing pathway
