Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Repeated ear infections can reduce hearing by two mechanisms. The first one is fluid collection behind ear drums after every infection, leading to conductive hearing loss. The second mechanism is the affection of the cochlear nerves by the attacking viruses like influenza viruses, which leads to sensorineural hearing loss.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concerns. I want to ask you What is the color of the mucus? Is it white, yellow, or green? Do you have a fever? Do you have any chronic disease like diabetes? Please answer these questions so that I can answer you better. Thank you..
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. This is pharyngeal inflammation with uvulitis. First, you have to stop smoking. Then, You should start an antibiotic, Floxamo (Amoxicillin trihydrate and Flucloxacillin sodium monohydrate) 1 gram every 12 hours for one week, plus an anti-inflammatory as Brufen 200 mg twice daily for one week.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and understand your concern. There are two methods to end the secretions behind your ear drum, a medical way, and a surgical way. The medical way consists of using mucolytic and anti-edematous medications like chymotrypsin for 2 weeks, and nasal decongestant drops twice daily in a supine position for a week. In case of failure of the medical treatment, you should undergo surgical removal by a simple incision in the ear drum, then fluid suction, or by fixing the ventilation tube into the ear drum.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. Do not panic even if your eardrum is injured; the trauma of the ear membrane can heal spontaneously. You need a good endoscopic ear examination to see what happens in your external ear. You may need to perform a tympanometry and pure tone audiometry.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. Sure, there is a solution, but firstly, you have to detect the cause with the help of investigations and tests. You have to be examined by an otorhinolaryngologist to detect the nature of the soft palate, uvula, nasal septum, nasal turbinates, tongue base, and to exclude any nasal polyps. The second step is a CT scan of your nose and sinuses.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. A ruptured eardrum (tympanic membrane perforation) from injury can sometimes heal on its own with conservative care; however, larger holes, such as yours, which are described as being big and only half-healed after a month, have uncertain outcomes without surgery. Medications support healing by addressing nutrition, inflammation, or infection risk; however, complete closure is not guaranteed and depends on the size, location, and avoidance of irritants. Importantly, avoid getting water inside your ears, as it can cause infection and impede healing.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com I understand your concern. Based on your symptoms, a sore throat with pain on swallowing, a clogged or muffled ear sensation (likely due to Eustachian tube dysfunction), thick phlegm in the morning, mild hoarseness, and ear pressure that sometimes pops, allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is the most likely cause. Exposure to allergens such as dust mites, pollen, or mold can trigger nasal inflammation. This inflammation often leads to post-nasal drip, which causes throat irritation and thick phlegm, especially after waking. Swelling around the Eustachian tube can result in ear fullness or pressure, and irritation of the vocal cords may cause mild voice changes.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com I read your query and understand your concern. The throbbing, pulse-like sound in your ear after clogged ears clear up is likely pulsatile tinnitus. The most possible causes include vascular issues like altered blood flow from atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, or vessel abnormalities near the ear, especially post-eustachian tube changes. However, the primary causes of pulsatile tinnitus often stem from blood flow turbulence in arteries or veins, such as narrowed carotid arteries, aneurysms, or venous sinus issues. After prolonged clogging, middle ear pressure shifts or conductive hearing changes can amplify heartbeat sounds.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.All these symptoms are common with flu infections. The persistence of these symptoms for long periods may point to eustachian tube dysfunction or the collection of fluids behind the eardrum. My suggestions for you:A mucolytic anti-inflammatory drug such as α-Chymotrypsin.Nasal vasoconstrictive drops are to be taken while lying down on your back.
