So I have really bad allergies and I think I might have a sinus infection. My snot is bright yellow, sometimes clear, and very slimy. However, sometimes I'll see a little bright green sticky booger but it's mostly just bright yellow and clear. My throat has been sore and I can't smell what do you think?

Female | 16

It seems like you might have a sinus infection, which is when your sinuses become swollen and filled with mucus. Yellow or green snot is a sign of infection. Additionally, a sore throat and difficulty smelling could indicate a problem with your sinuses. To help yourself feel better, try using a saline nasal rinse and drink plenty of water. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve, consult a ENT specialist, they can offer more assistance.

Dear Doctor, I'm an 18-year-old male. About 15-16 days ago, I had a really bad cold with symptoms including a sore throat, headache, and fever. After 7-8 days, my cold symptoms healed, but I still had a sore throat, hoarse voice, a completely blocked right ear, and I was constantly coughing up green mucus. Four days ago, I visited a doctor and was prescribed moxifloxacin 400mg once a day for 5 days (today is day 3). While my coughing has generally decreased, I still have a sore throat and my right ear is still blocked, although it did briefly open for a few minutes yesterday. This has been ongoing for three weeks, and I'm starting to lose hope as I'm not sure what I have or if I'll get better. In addition to moxifloxacin, here are the other medications I'm currently taking: Nasacort AQ (once a day) - today is day 6 Phenadone (twice a day) - today is day 8 Nexium (once a day) - today is day 6 Ganaton (three times a day) - today is day 6 Seretide Accuhaler Diskus (twice a day) - today is day 8 Polymer Adult Hypertonic 3% (twice a day) - today is day 3 Could you please help me understand what might be causing these persistent symptoms and advise on any further steps I should take? Thank you for your assistance.

When someone coughs up green phlegm, that means they have an infection. Your condition may be because of a stubborn bacterial infection which will need more time to completely clear up. Take your medicine as prescribed and ensure you finish the full course of antibiotics. If your symptoms continue or get worse then I think it’d be wise for you to go to an ENT specialist so they can conduct further tests on you.

Male | 24

You may have developed an ear infection from wearing headphones too often. The pain near your jaw and ear could signal this issue. Prolonged headphone use can sometimes trap bacteria, leading to infections. Take a break from using headphones, and try applying a warm cloth to the affected ear area. However, if the discomfort persists, it would be wise to consult an ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

I am 16 year old boy with neck swellling it has been going on for 3 days now

Male | 16

The puffed neck can take place for several reasons. Considering it is there for 3 days, notice will be required. Some common ones are, for example, being infected (like swollen glands) or even reacting to something. Besides, it may be about a thyroid issue. See a healthcare professional as fast as possible, so they can find the exact reason why you are ill and prescribe the proper medicine.

Good evening,,i have alot of mucus even while am not sick,which medicine should i use to stop mucus

Female | 22

Dealing with excess mucus without illness feels very bothersome. The mucus might happen due to allergies, irritants, or weather changes. An over-the-counter saline nasal spray helps. It thins mucus, so you clear your nose easier. But read instructions carefully on medication labels.

Got a genuine question, been having frequent nosebleeds ( around 12 times in 14 days) and was wondering on what could be the cause or what it could mean

Male | 21

Very often the bloody nose is caused by some things i.e. dry air, allergies, infections, and high blood pressure. In different scenarios, anemia may bear a more long-term consequence including blood disorders or even tumors. You are advised to see an otolaryngologist for a thorough examination as well as opt for the recommended treatment.

I have pain while swallowing

Female | 25

This could happen because of a sore throat or infection. Other possibilities are acid reflux or swallowing something sharp accidentally. If it continues for several days, getting it checked is wise. Warm drinks or soft foods might provide relief. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is crucial too. Take a break from spicy or rough textures until it passes.

One side nose block problem

Female | 30

Unilateral nasal obstruction or one-sided stuffed nose is another name for this type of blockage. Allergies, infections such as sinusitis, and even the common cold can result in this. Additionally, other symptoms may include sneezing, a runny nose, and difficulty breathing. To help clear the blockage, you can use over-the-counter decongestants, saline nasal sprays, or a humidifier. If there is no improvement after a few days see an ENT specialist.

Tinnitus may be caused by exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even stress. To decrease the ringing in the ears, consider using the white noise machine at night or do not play music that is too loud. Also, visiting an ENT specialist is the best option for getting a proper evaluation.

I have a pill lodged into my throat but I can breathe, and have tried many ways using water to get it out. Any suggestions?

Male | 16

Any pill lodged in the throat will start to dissolve, so rest assured it will not stay stuck for long. You can try eating bananas or fat rich foods that can slide the pill down if it has gotten attached to any part of the throat. It is less likely to cause any major problems. If the sensation persists beyond one day, please visit your ent for a video endoscopic evaluation
