Why Do I Have Ear Aches?

Patient's Query

I have ear aches but not sure what it could be causing it

Ent Surgery

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

A few different things can cause earaches. Sometimes it is an infection such as one in the ear canal or middle ear where bacteria or viruses have entered. Another cause may be too much ear wax or changes in air pressure. You may find relief by using warm compresses, taking over-the-counter pain medication, and resting. You should see an ENT specialist if your condition doesn’t improve after a few days or get worse.

This could be because of a swollen gland or infection. You should see an ENT specialist immediately so they can examine it; they might prescribe antibiotics for treatment or conduct more tests to determine the cause.

My mouth and throat are almost always dry which causes sore throat.What should i do now?

Female | 18

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.

I’ve been having thick dark reddish brown some ties almost black nasal drainage it pours out of my nose and I have absolutely no control over it it’s worse at nights it will sometimes leave my bedding soaking wet to where I have to change it every night and I sometimes go through a whole box of tissues this has been going on since early January mostly just draining at night

Female | 26

Maybe your nasal symptoms suggest chronic rhinosinusitis. Thick, dark reddish-brown mucus can flow uncontrollably, often worse at night. Inflamed sinuses likely cause this issue. Saline sprays may provide relief. Consulting an ENT doctor helps evaluate and treat the underlying problem.

Hello i am 18 yrs old and i think i am having an ear infection on my ear, i was scratching my outer ear and injured it and later on i am feeling pressure on my ear, theres no pain or whatsever and theres a pus or wax but not that much nor draining on my ear, it started on march 24 and i havent go to doctor yet since im poor

Male | 18

It’s common for there to be some pain with an ear infection, as well as pressure, pus, or fluid drainage, and no fever. Ear infections happen when germs get into the ear canal. To help with this problem, attempt to use some warm water to gently clean the outside part of your ear only – do not stick anything inside the ear. If it does not start feeling better soon, visit an ENT specialist because there could be something else going on besides an infection like an injury from scratching too hard.

If you notice blood leaking from your ear without pain or swelling, it could be due to various reasons like a minor injury or a rupture in the ear drum. It's important to consult an ENT specialist for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I cant hear properly for last 7 days (left ear) I think, its because of heavy ear wax. I once had this problem. So i guessed it. Now what should i do?

Female | 23

Ear wax buildup blocks sound. That could explain hearing trouble. You hear worse in one ear. Also, ear fullness, and discomfort too. Try ear drops first, and soften the wax. If that doesn't work, see an ENT specialist. They can remove the wax safely.

I have inside tongue pain which goes inside my ear I feel like someone is hitting my ear when I swallow and I feel vomiting sensation often at evening

Female | 13

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.

I have a pill lodged into my throat but I can breathe, and have tried many ways using water to get it out. Any suggestions?

Male | 16

Any pill lodged in the throat will start to dissolve, so rest assured it will not stay stuck for long. You can try eating bananas or fat rich foods that can slide the pill down if it has gotten attached to any part of the throat. It is less likely to cause any major problems. If the sensation persists beyond one day, please visit your ent for a video endoscopic evaluation

Six days of throat itchiness is dreadful. Allergies, dry air, and infections can cause an itchy throat. Coughing or sneezing may also occur with this symptom.

sir my right side ear blok please any madecin for me

Male | 24

You might have a clogged right ear. The feeling you’re having comes from earwax or a slight infection. It may occur due to putting objects in your ears or having a respiratory infection. You can try OTC ear drops to dissolve the wax. Refrain from inserting anything into your ear and avoid exposure to loud noises. If that doesn’t work, it’s advisable to consult with a ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

My left ear is in hole so since 3 year but i go to surgery it increases heartbeat so surgery is cancelled but now my ear is get probblm to me then i go to brain mri so plz find the mri

Female | 28

You are dealing with problems in your left ear. That's good you're asking for help. A faster heartbeat during surgery can be scary. It may be from stress or another issue. Your ear hole could hurt. Getting a brain MRI is smart to see what's going on inside your head. The MRI gives pictures to figure out the problem. Be sure to talk to your doctor about the results and what to do next.

I have shortness of breath sometimes during this time when I swallow my saliva I also feel something thick like moving down my throat with my saliva and during this time if am thinking too much the thing get worst and sometimes if am watching a comedy or a funny videos I feel a lot better whenever am having shortness of breath I feel nervous or scared

Female | 18

You seem to be struggling with anxiety symptoms. Quick breathing, a choking sensation, and intense worry or fear - these often occur with anxiety. Watching comedy provides a break, letting your mind relax and alleviating discomfort. To address these feelings, practice deep breaths or talk to a psychiatrist; such methods can help manage anxiety effectively.

My boy is of 12 years and he is having tonsils in his neck… there is normal tonsils Madicine has finished

Male | 12

Your son has enlarged tonsils, he slows down when sick. These can make the throat hurt, make it hard to swallow, or even block some air. Helping him stay comfortable might include giving him lots of things to drink and soft things to eat. Make a doctor’s appointment if he seems very uncomfortable or it’s hard for him to breathe.

Female | 18

You likely scratched your throat, leading to discomfort. The object may have scratched or caused swelling in your throat area. Throat pain can sometimes radiate toward the ear region. Staying hydrated by consuming ample water aids in soothing the throat discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, seeking medical attention becomes advisable.

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.
