Why do I have ear pain, swelling, and headaches?

Patient's Query

For a few days I have been experiencing pain in the upper part of the right ear, meaning the right side of the head. Then swelling just above the ear. Pain in the ear, pain behind the ear, pain in the jaw and neck. Now blocked ears and headache, neck and toothache. On the right side of the head means there is a swelling above the ear. This is exactly where the pain occurs. It is difficult to sleep on the side where the pain is, I get headache. I used waxsol to clean my right ear

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

You are likely dealing with an ear infection. The symptoms you are describing, including pain and swelling, typically accompany such an infection. You must visit an ENT specialist who can prescribe the appropriate treatment, for example, antibiotics. Use a warm compress to your ear for the moment to help with the pain.

Why do u loose your voice for no reason

Female | 52

When you lose­ your voice without any clear reason, it's calle­d laryngitis. Your vocal cords swell up, making you hoarse or quiet. This happe­ns due to loud talking, singing, or catching a cold. To recover quickly, avoid talking much, sip warm drinks ofte­n, and inhale steam. Within a wee­k, your voice should return to normal.

I have been using sudafed nasal spray for about 5 days for a nasal drip. I stopped yesterday and have been feeling extremely congested like my sinus is swollen. Could this be rebound congestion? I've been using sinus rinse and a little relief but just feels like there could be some swelling

Male | 40

You could be suffering from rebound congestion. This is common when people use nasal sprays such as Sudafed for more than a couple of days. It may cause you to have swollen nasal passages with a feeling of being more congested. The saline sinus rinse is excellent at relieving the swelling. It's best to avoid overusing the nasal spray to prevent rebound congestion.

Ever since I was diagnosed with allergies rhinitis I can't stop producing clear mucus and Iits been six months

Female | 22

It is caused when the body is fighting off allergens, such as dust and pollen, in the nasal passages. This kind of disease is seasonal and it may become severe if not controlled. Employing saltwater nasal sprays, keeping away from various triggers like dust, and staying hydrated can reduce the production of the excreted mucus.

Got a genuine question, been having frequent nosebleeds ( around 12 times in 14 days) and was wondering on what could be the cause or what it could mean

Male | 21

Very often the bloody nose is caused by some things i.e. dry air, allergies, infections, and high blood pressure. In different scenarios, anemia may bear a more long-term consequence including blood disorders or even tumors. You are advised to see an otolaryngologist for a thorough examination as well as opt for the recommended treatment.
