29 yr old female, lost some hearing (at about 40%) in my left ear during or shortly after cancer treatment at age 15. When I pop my ears by plugging my nose, it gets better but doesn’t last more than an hour or so. Usually less. Every doctor since that I’ve told says “oh that’s a Eustachian tube malfunction” but gives me NO other info. Recently read that over time this can become permanent. Is there ANY treatment options? Any idea what exactly I’m dealing with?

Hi, I’m (…), 49yrs old. I have been having really strong smells olfactory hallucination (phantosmia) for over 20yrs.had a scan in 96 which showed only frontal lobe damage and it was left at that. A few years ago had my eyes checked and had another scan which showed nothing, not even frontal lobe damage.. weird.. was put on epilepsy meds in case it was that but I became elergic to 2 types of the meds was taken off them and that was that. It frustrates me nothing can be found wrong.. I feel I’m not believed or I’m looked at as a hypocondriact.. but it’s real and when it happens it’s really strong and I find it hard to breath when it happens. What is happening? Why does 1scan show 1 thing than on another scan it shows nothing? Please help. Thankyou
I’ve had unbearable earache for 8 weeks now! It started off in the week before Christmas, with a lump just under my jaw line and the lump lasted for 2 weeks. When the lump subsided the pain in both my ears got worse! It’s been waking me up in the night, and been very painful throughout the day too! The pain isn’t just inside my ears but all around the outside of the whole ear too! It’s getting really annoying and painful and all my local doctor can say is ‘take some paracetamol’ obviously having earache for 8 weeks isn’t normal! So help please!

Hi I am a 51 year old female. I have had this web like discharge coming from my eyes for over a year now. It’s has spread throughout my whole body. Now it comes out my ears, nose, and my bottom. I have pictures so you can even see it. This is making, me more sick as it gets worse. All my joints are so sore and I’m tired all the time.
Hello I am a 45 year old female with no disease and I am on no medication and very healthy. Last month I had the flu or bronchitis badly, the head pain was unbearable, it tooks a couple of weeks to get over and I still have headaches a little bit. My entire life I have always had sinus infections and my nose is always blocked. Three days ago I used a netti pot and I did it with my own salt and it burned. That night my vision was off and now for the past two days I have had double vision badly and today a headache- i have no health insurance and I literally have no money- at all- nothing for a dr…is this from the netti pot did I gives my self a sinus infection.I cannot go to the ER and be in debt thousands to find out its a sinus infection thank you.
I am 19 male and have no medications or current conditions. I have had lumps and white discoloration on my tongue for about 2 months now I have been given chest x-rays with nothing showing up, along with occasionally coughing up fresh red blood. I have not had any fever that i know of or pain just soar. I have no idea where to go from here.
i am currently having dull pains worse when swallowing but it’s lower down and not in my throat. It is not on my left aside. I was having some heart problems before for 4-5 years, but they come and go. Currently they have gone. I am even climbing to the 2nd and 3rd floor without a problem. When I have it -has been few months at a time- I feel too tired to walk much, and exertion makes me unwell. In those periods I have severe chest pains which come only from exertion, with details as attached. They are unbearable but only last 1-5 minutes.Once it improves I feel like all is well.
Currently I am not having them. I have attached 1 picture of my answers to the webmd website symptom checker, which is for the earlier problem , and 1 word file also from the webmd website symptom checker about my difficulty swallowing. I am a female, 58, around 62 Kg and 5’3″

I have had a funny taste in my mouth the past week, and upon looking in the back of my throat there is discoloration from the typical pink color of my gums. Now there are patches of whitish marks and a couple of dark red blemishes, including one with a kind of white spot on it.
I have no other symptoms (no coughing, no itches, aches or pains anywhere, no blood, no fever, and no sensation of lumps, including when swallowing), just the visible marks and the metallic taste.
I used to occasionally socially smoke 10 years ago but stopped years ago, and I only drink on the weekend (once a week on average).
I went to the doctor today and she said she couldn’t see anything, but I can see white patches, and a big red patch with a white spot on it, and there is a constant metallic taste in my mouth.
(I am 31, had my tonsils our as a kid, I am not on any medication, and I have no allergies)
Hi I am a 50 year old female with severe dry eye problem. My eyes are always red and often ache. I use lubricant eye drops (Day and night versions) and manuka honey drops too. The drops have really helped. I also had plugs inserted into the tear ducts which also helps.
Now my eye doctor has suggested a more permanent solution – tear duct fusion. This will replace the need for plugs (they can fall out, get stuck etc.). However I can’t find any information about the procedure.
Can you please tell me how this works, possible side effects, recovery time?I’m due to have the procedure in a few days but I have so many questions and my doctor is in the public system so I can’t access her to ask.
21 year old female, not currently on any medications and have no significant medical history. Caught a cold/flu before Christmas, and immediately after getting over it I caught another cold. It finally escalated into a sinus infection on Friday, and it’s now Monday. I wasn’t able to see a doctor over the weekend so I tried the home remedy of drinking an apple cider vinegar drink 3x a day, which has helped significantly and I feel almost 100% back to normal, no more pain or discomfort, except my nasal discharge is bright pink and seems to be bloody, is this normal after a sinus infection? Or do I need to see a doctor?
female, 24 , no specific medical history….2 querries for you……..problem 1- it started suddenly with no warning i woke up to me private areas are swollen like someone punched me there and then also number sensitive (the type of sensation you feel when you go to the dentist and the anesthetic you and your lip and mouth goes numb that type of itchy numb tissue pain/feeling) feels like im allergic to myself and i had to have a baking soda bath to cool it down (my sister hormone issues where her doctor advised her to sit in baking soda baths if this thing happend) this sensitivity has calmed down but flares up sometimes, my body fluids seem to make it worse (is am not sexually active at all) so i dont know what it could be i think when i was a teem i had a mini hormone imbalance but i dont think its that i have tried thrush and feminine creams for down there but they make no difference i tend to be ‘mosit’ down there normally so i cant tell whats normal i have tried baby powder to dry it all out which does help slightly for limited time periods , i have not changed the washing powder or shower gel i usually use… problem 2- also since then getting cold/fever like symptoms with migraines over the last 5 days snotty nose but when i blow my nose sometimes there is red and green bits instead of the normal yellow or clear snot the left side of my face has been hurting for 5 days as if someone punch me in the jaw i dont know if this is a cold something else or a tooth issue and ice packs and heat do not help my face pain dont know if i need to go to doctor pharmacy or dentist about my face
I am an 18 (I’ll be 19 on the 18th of January) year old woman, and I am currently taking 300 mg clindamycin (3x a day for ten days), 300 mg bupropion (1x daily), .25 mg alprazolam (1x daily as needed). I have an allergy to penicillin, I have had ENT problems for as long as I can remember — when I was a toddler, I had to have tubes implanted in my ears due to frequent infections — as well as a weak immune system and a history of depression, anxiety, and OCD. Eight days ago, I went to a walk-in clinic for tonsil stones. The doctor there swabbed my throat, found out I had strep (which surprised me, my throat was barely sore), and prescribed me clindamycin. Just three days later I felt awful (it’s alright as long as I stay completely still in bed, which I’ve been trying to do for the past few days, but if I move, I get pain in my abdomen that’s so intense I can barely move anyway. This has been accompanied by other fun symptoms, like gas, bloating, and yellow-looking diarrhea) but a quick google search told me that was fairly standard of the drug so I tried to stop panicking. It hasn’t worked too well (I’ve pretty much convinced myself that I’m dying, so that’s been an absolute joy), and the symptoms haven’t let up over the past five days. Am I reacting badly to the medication? Should I stop treatment, even if there are only two days left to go? Do I need to see someone about this? What’s going on?
