Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have been suffering from fluctuating tinnitus for four months, as you have said. Tinnitus (ringing sensation in the ear) may be due to problems of the ear or problems not related to the ear. Ear problems causing tinnitus are generally associated with hearing loss. But that is ruled out in your case, as your audiogram is normal.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The clogging of ears and ringing sensation (tinnitus) are probably due to accumulation of fluid in your middle ear post eustachian tube blockage, as a result of the upper respiratory tract infection you had had previously, a condition known as serous otitis media. I suggest doing tympanometry (if not already done) to confirm the diagnosis. If tympanometry confirms the diagnosis, then I suggest: 1. Xylometazoline nasal drops, two drops in each nostril thrice a day for a week.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have said about numbness or weakness on the left side of your face. Is your mouth deviating towards the right side or your left eye not closing properly? If that is so, it may be a weakness of one of your nerves that supply the muscles of the face (the facial nerve). If that is not so, even an infection in your perforated eardrum may cause mild pain around the ear. Do visit your ENT doctor so that he can have a look at the current state of your eardrum.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your symptoms are fever, throat pain, and ear blockage. Your clinical findings according to you are white rashes all over the throat. The two most probable causes in your case seem to be: 1. Bacterial infection (streptococcal sore throat).
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I shall try to help you out on this one. The symptoms and signs which you have written are consistent with the diagnosis of acute tonsillitis. However, since tests for bacteria were negative, there is most probably a viral cause for the infection. Mono test is a test to detect infectious mononucleosis, another viral infection.
Hello,

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As you have mentioned, your primary complaint is excessive mucus in the throat leading to you having trouble pronouncing words. Your voice gets better when you are eating, or have a runny nose, or on sucking a hard candy. All these things have one thing in common that they dilute the mucus ( eating, sucking a candy cause increased salivation, thereby diluting the mucus). That means you have a thick, sticky mucus interfering with your speech, which may be due to sinusitis, chronic pharyngitis, gastro-esophageal reflux disease or environmental factors like cigarette smoke or dust.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Your chief complaints are throat pain and dryness. Most cases of sore throat are due to viral infections. Nevertheless, bacterial infections need to be ruled out.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The first thing that comes to my mind is a disease called atrophic rhinitis. Here, the mucous membrane and structures inside the nose shrink and the nasal cavity is filled with crusts, which get infected and smell. In this condition, the patient has decreased sense of smell, but others can feel bad smell coming out from the patient's nose. A diagnostic nasal endoscopy is sufficient to diagnose the condition.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Let me help you understand your report point by point. 1. Deviated nasal septum means the midline partition dividing your nose into two cavities is not straight. It is deviated to the left side.
