Question 1

My sister-in-law has been hearing a hissing sound in quiet settings. She got an audiology test and a CT venogram of the neck and skull base done results are attached. Just wondering if this might need surgery or if it can be treated with meds. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

If no vascular cause is found, it may be tinnitus; surgery is rarely needed‚Äîmeds or sound therapy may help.

Question 2

I've put 3 to 4 drops of ear drops in my left ear last night around 10, and now it's totally blocked. I'm having trouble hearing properly. What's going on? Should I go see the nearest hospital for this?

Accepted Answer

you might have wax in the ear which swelled up after putting ear drops.. visit an ENT specialist for assessment and wax removal if required..

Question 3

I've been having some trouble with my throat over the past year. It started with it getting really dry at night, even though I'm drinking a lot of water. Then, a few weeks ago, these solid white sticky stones started forming near my tonsils. They smelled really bad, but I managed to remove them a couple of times using a toothbrush and cotton stick when they got to about 0.25cm. But now, it feels like there's a bigger stone deeper in my throat that I just can't reach or see, even with a mirror. Gargling with salt water and coughing hasn't helped at all, and it's so uncomfortable when I eat or drink. I'm not sure if it's the same kind of stone growing back or something else entirely. What do you think it could be, and what can I do about it?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Is there a laser treatment option for a perforated eardrum or is open surgery the only way can it heal with medications and what happens if I don't get it treated

for P/E ENT specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
