Why is there a lump in my left neck?

This might happen if your lymph nodes there become swollen. These are small structures shaped like beans inside your body, which help fight off infection. The bump could be caused by something as simple as a cold or infection; however, sometimes it could mean something more serious. If it hasn’t gone away or is getting larger, see an ENT specialist right away.

Why does my severe sore throat persist despite medication?

You may have an acute tonsillitis infection. When the tonsils become infected with viruses or bacteria this frequently occurs. The fever and headache you experienced are common symptoms of this condition. Since taking medication has not helped, it is necessary to get a proper diagnosis from an ENT specialist. This will enable them to prescribe stronger antibiotics which should make you feel well. Do not forget to drink plenty of water and have enough bed rest.

Why are my sore throat and blocked ear persistent?

When someone coughs up green phlegm, that means they have an infection. Your condition may be because of a stubborn bacterial infection which will need more time to completely clear up. Take your medicine as prescribed and ensure you finish the full course of antibiotics. If your symptoms continue or get worse then I think it’d be wise for you to go to an ENT specialist so they can conduct further tests on you.

Why do I feel ear pain with swallowing?

You may have tonsillitis. It can be felt in your tongue, ear, and throat. The pain may be so severe when swallowing that it feels as though your ear is being struck. Feeling sick in the evenings is not uncommon either. A virus or bacteria can cause the condition. Drinking lots of water, getting plenty of rest, and consuming soft foods can be helpful. For further treatment, a visit to an ENT specialist may be necessary.

Why is my runny nose worsening and stuffy?

You may have sinusitis or a sinus infection. Stuffy and runny nose with clear mucus are common symptoms of sinusitis. The yellow mucus that you cough up in the morning is a sign that it may be bacterial. To relieve congestion, try applying a warm compress across your face and seek medical attention for further assessment.

Can I help my daughter's ear pain from eraser?

This can happen if objects are pushed too far into the ear canal. The ear with the pain might have the object lodged deeper or be more sensitive. It's important not to try to remove it yourself as that can lead to further complications. Please take her to an ENT specialist. They will be able to see the ear properly using special tools and safely remove the trapped object.

Why is my mouth dry, throat sore constantly?

You may have dryness in your mouth and throat, causing your throat to dry. This may happen when you are not drinking enough fluids or if the air around you is too dry. To alleviate this issue, ensure you drink plenty of water and use a humidifier in the bedroom where possible. Additionally, sucking on sugarless candies can help stimulate saliva production. However, if these suggestions do not provide relief, consider seeking help from an ENT specialist.

Struggling with Sinusitis Congestion and Severe Issues?

Sinusitis commonly occurs after one has had a cold or due to allergies. To relieve these symptoms you can do steam inhalation using hot water, saline nasal spray that helps moisten the inside of your nose so they’re less likely to dry out, and over-the-counter decongestants like pseudoephedrine (Sudafed). If this is bothersome, visit an ENT specialist.

Why does my left upper ear hurt when touched?

You may have an external ear infection, commonly known as “swimmer’s ear.” Signs and symptoms of it could be pain, which may worsen when touching the outside of the ear or tugging on the earlobe, as well as a sensation that your ear is full inside. Water trapped in the ear or skin irritation can cause this infection. You could help yourself feel better by trying to keep your ears dry and taking nonprescription pain relievers. However, if the pain doesn’t go away or becomes severe, you should see a ENT specialist.
