  • Ear fullness

    Go to a Walmart health clinic and get an audiogram, rule out sudden hearing loss. Then get a nasal decongestant spray, afrin, and use that 2-3x a day for 3 days. Get flonase and use that 2 sprays daily for 2 weeks. Keep trying to pop your ears. READ MORE

  • Eardrum looks funky? Also weird lump?

    The lump is your malleus. its one of the ear bones. The only problem I see is the retraction of your ear drum, indicating eustachian tube dysfunction. Get some Afrin decongestant nasal spray. Use it twice daily for 3 days and try hard to pop your ears, like you are on a plane (valsalva). Start using nasal steroids, flonase, 2 sprays in each nostril daily. this will also help you to pop your ears. If the ear pressure does not clear, you need to visit an ENT and get a eustachian tube dilation. Otherwise, over time, the negative pressure on the ear drum will cause a cholesteatoma. READ MORE

  • Throat infection

    Stop smoking. This will kill you. Tonsillitis will happen now and then. It hurts. Keep taking anti-inflammatories, and stay hydrated. It may take a couple weeks to get over. the lump in your neck is probably an inflamed lymph node, also common when you have any kind of inflammation. READ MORE

  • Could I (16F) have enlarged adenoids?

    You likely are describing inferior turbinate hypertrophy. try a nasal steroid spray 2 sprays twice daily for at least 4 weeks. Its very unllikely that you have any adenoids left. Go visit an ENT and ask for an in clinic turbinate reduction. READ MORE

  • Throat issue

    If you has a PTA (abscess) you would likely have fever. Tonsils will get swollen if you have any type of URI, like a cold. The tonsil may be swollen but PTA is pretty severe, usually can't swallow very well, and the voice sounds like you have a hot potato in your mouth. READ MORE

  • White on my tonsils

    Leave it be. READ MORE

  • Dizziness

    Google orthostatic hypotension. Drink more fluids. You are 24 and your blood pressure is low and healthy, but this will sometimes make you feel lightheaded. this can be made worse if you worry about it, called a Vaso vagal syndrome. READ MORE

  • Can a tooth infection cause earache?

    Absolutely. Most ear pain in adults is referred from the throat or somewhere else. READ MORE

  • Iodine

    First of all... why are you squirting iodine up your nose...? secondly... there may be starch byproducts in the nose. I don't know. I would refrain from doing that in the future. unnecessary. READ MORE

  • White spots in nose

    Stop snorting cocaine. This will rot out your septum, no matter what nostril you are snorting it. It could be anything from a papilloma to dryness, to cancer. Stop doing cocaine. READ MORE

  • Plugged ears

    Afrin 2 spray in each nostril twice daily for 3 days only. Practice popping your ears. READ MORE

  • Bloody Painful Earache

    You need a prescription for ofloxacin ear drops for a suppurative otitis media. (ear infection with ruptured ear drum). 5 drops twice daily in the ear for 7 days at minimum READ MORE

  • I have a bump in my nose

    Stop picking your nose, and stop touching it. There is cartilage inside the structure of your nose, under very thin skin. The more your irritate and pick at it, you increase the possibility that it will become infected, or that a fibroma will form (scar tissue). Use aquaphor on a q tip to soothe it and stop touching it. READ MORE

  • Please give me some guidance

    Its a tonsil stone likely. Visit an ENT and have them take your tonsils out if you want the problem to stop. they won't hurt you but they are annoying and painful. READ MORE

  • Throat won’t allow me to burp

    i would take the pantoprazole but not the prednisone. Prednisone may actually may your reflux worse. In addition i would get pepcid AC from the pharmacy over the counter and take that at night. You are describing a bit of acid reflux, which is normal for most people, but can be annoying and irritating after a prolonged period of time. Go see a gastroenterologist. You are very skinny, and your picture shows the prominance of your submandibular glands. Looks normal. Inflammation of the esophagus can cause the symptoms you describe. Look up eosinophilic esophagitis. READ MORE

  • what’s wrong with my nose?

    the structures of your nose and probably curved to the right, maybe both the bones and cartilage. Why isn't important. It may have happened from a fight or not... but it doesn't matter. If you want it to look different, find an ENT that has facial plastics experience and get a rhinoplasty. READ MORE

  • Ear Nodule

    Nothing is wrong with your ear. Its probably a benign growth called a chondroma If you want it cut out, an ENT can do that for you easily. Otherwise, I would leave it alone. It may likely slowly and get bigger over time. READ MORE

  • Loss of taste and smell?

    Any inflammatory insult to the olfactory nerve can cause anosmia. So it doesn't have to have been covid, could have been flu, or just any other virus syndrome. Nerves are very sensitive and can respond poorly to any type of inflammation. A burst of steroids at the acute time of injury may be theoretically helpful to possibly recover the nerve function. This is the treatment paradigm used for sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and bells palsy. READ MORE

  • What is this lump in my throat?

    tonsil stone likely. If you have a fever, I would be worried about strep. READ MORE

  • Strep throat?

    What makes you think your tonsils are pus filled? Swollen red tonsils are consistent with non strep (viral) tonsillitis. If you negative for strep you shouldn't have been given antibiotics. Take antiinflammatories and stay hydrated. READ MORE
