Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Some of your symptoms may be due dry air. Try using a humidifier in your bedroom. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 3

can a post nasal drip have caused etd that i've had for 5  months? three months of nasal steroids did nothing. clicking  and ear pain are unbearable.

Accepted Answer

Possible allergies: You may have developed an allergy that is producing your post nasal drip. Perhaps you should see an allergist and get evaluated and possibly tested. As a last resort if you have no allergies you might want to see an ENT physician and discuss the possibility of taking oral steroids to clear up your ear pain.

Question 4

why does post nasal drip causes sore throat and ear pain. how can i get rid of it??

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Post-nasal drips may irritate the throat but sore throat is uncommon. Ear pain is not caused by post-nasal drips although nasal congestion may lead to obstruction of the inner ear tube leading to infection. You need to get this checked out by a doctor (ENT, allergist).

Question 5

ive had bilateral ear pain for about a month. its intermitant. i also have post nasal drip. ct shows clear sinuses, ear drums are normal. help!

Accepted Answer

Maybe teeth: There is a concept called referred pain. Most laymen know it that when someone is complaining about pain in mid chest and also left arm it's the heart not the arm but the brain combines the signals. We call that referred pain. Ther are other referred pain patterns in body. One of them is pain in jaw or teeth may be referred to ears. See your dentist.

Question 6

so i had a guess a cold (stuffy nose and ear pain and sore throat) it went away and then a day later the throat came back. its scratchy and when i lay down i have i think a post nasal drip. i also have indigestion (burping a lot) whats the problem?

Accepted Answer

: I still think your body is fighting off a common cold viral infection that'll most likely last a week or so.  If you feel that your belching is gas buildup from indigestion, avoid gassy foods &amp; beverages.  Don't force yourself to belch as you'll only keep swallowing more air. Taking simethicone 1/2 hour after meals prevents gas buildup.

Question 7

i am experiencing ringing from my right ear and migraines from loud noise. i do not feel ear pain. could  this be related to tinnitus?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: Tinnitus is the formal word for ringing in the ears. Loud noises can be a cause of tinnitus.

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: This is a symptom of inner ear disease and has many causes. It is often cause by taking excessive amounts of ASA. It sounds like you are not responding to treatment. Your doctor might want to image the area with an MRI to help sort this out. A referral to ENT also may be helpful. All the best, it is a miserable symptom.

Question 9

i have ear pain and tinnitus with mild snhl.  i was taking nurokind tab for 3 weeks. i am feeling pain my left side of face to ear. please give advise?

Accepted Answer

Ear pain: Not sure what medication you are taking. 
Best advised to see a physician to evaluate your ear, your sinuses, and possible dental issues. Have a great day.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

noise not pain: Usually tinnitus manifests symptoms of sound or noise in the ear rather than pain. If you are also experiencing pain you should consult your otolaryngologist as you may have an infection or another coexisting issue with your ears.
