Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I would like to know a few details regarding your symptoms. Do you have phlegm, which trickles down from your nasal cavity to your throat, or do you have a headache? This is to rule out sinusitis. Patients who suffer from sinusitis have recurrent episodes of colds and stuffiness and secondary throat infections. Did you get any tests for allergies, like serum IgE, etc.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. If your doctor has examined you and started you on antibiotics, that is, Augmentin (Clavulanic acid and Amoxicillin), you, please complete that course. Along with it, I suggest taking Paracetamol 500, three times daily. Continue taking Allegra (Fexofenadine). Thank you.
Hello Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I can see inflamed and enlarged tonsils with a congested posterior pharyngeal wall (back of the throat). A post-nasal drip running for a couple of months suggests some sinonasal inflammation as well, a chronic or acute sinusitis. The same is producing plenty of mucus in the mornings, which drains off as the day progresses.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Bleeding of the nose is quite common in some people. Some of the most common causes are dryness inside the nose, pollution, picking of the nose, sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, rhinitis, and bleeding disorders. Considering the myriad of causes involved, I suggest you consult a specialist and have an ENT (ear,nose, throat) examination done. In addition to this, we need the following blood investigations to be done: 1) Complete blood count.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. 1. Your recurrent problem of not being able to smell is due to sinusitis and allergy. Once that gets treated, smell will come back. But in chronic sinusitis, the smell may or may not come back due to prolonged disease.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. All these symptoms happen because of pressure changes, whether you travel on a flight or while kissing in the ear. If the pressure is constant, it can lead to eardrum damage which does not seem to in your case. Pressure changes in the ear cause fullness and ringing in the ear.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Can you send me a picture of your throat (a clear one)? I want to see if your posterior pharyngeal wall or tonsils are infected. These symptoms are suggestive of vocal cord paralysis. Please answer the following: Are you a diabetic? What problem do you have with your nose? Is it like a nose block? Shortness of breath can be due to a nose block as well. Do you have any posterior nasal drip? Any hoarseness of voice or cough while eating or drinking? Do you consume alcohol or do you smoke? Any problem with acid reflux? Please revert in case of further queries.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. The lymph node you are talking about is insignificant. You need not worry about it unless it grows in size or becomes painful. Some lymph nodes grow bigger in size due to a hyper reaction, so you need not worry.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. There can be two possible diagnoses in your case, but I need to know if you have any of the above symptoms. Either it can be benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (a common inner ear disorder causing brief, intense, and sudden spinning sensations, when changing head positions, such as turning in bed, bending over, or looking up) or Meniere's disease (a chronic, non-curable inner ear disorder that causes severe dizziness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the affected ear). I would advise you to take complete bed rest for about three days (minimum) and restrict salt.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Please answer the following questions for my better understanding: 1. For how many days have you taken Azithromycin? It should be taken five to seven days. 2. Do have pain in the throat or itching or both? 3.
