It will be good to know the cause of your deafness in one ear, Cochlear implant is indicated only in the deaf ear. Post implantation, you will need a period of rehabilitation to get use to the new sound from the implant.
Cochlear implant surgery is a big and complex surgery. There will definitely be some risk. The risk maybe broadly divided into those relating to the surgery itself and the implant. Please discuss with your doctor on the risk.
It will be good to know your age, the duration of symptoms and whether you smoke. Is there any fever?
Most sore throat recovers within 1-2 weeks. If your sore throat is more than 2 weeks, I suggest having a check up by your doctor.
Pain on swallowing and swollen neck suggest an ongoing inflammatory process. You may have tonsillitis or pharyngitis with swollen lymph nodes. You will need a course of antibiotics. Please see your doctor immediately if you notice a definite swelling in the neck.
If you are a smoker, I suggest a ENT specialist consult if your sore throat is not better after a course of antibiotics.
It helps to have good hydration. Please continue to keep yourself well hydrated.
Considering your age and the duration of swollen tonsil, I suggest a consultation with your local doctor , if necessary an ENT specialist. You may need a biopsy of the tonsil to rule out a tumour.
Lipoma are generally benign and may not be removed. The indication to remove it depends on the size, location and symptom. Depending on the location of the lipoma, most ENT surgeons should be able to remove the lipoma. You will only need an excision biopsy of the lipoma if it can be separated from the muscle. Otherwise a cuff of the muscle may need to be resected. The exact surgery will depend on the location and size. Similarly, the fee will depend on the complexity of the case.
If your symptom is blocked nose resulting in you finding it hard to breath, there is likely a cure to it. But, in view of the fact that you have been suffering from this for many years, it is important to find out the underlying cause. Nevertheless, no patient should be suffering from blocked nose for an extended period of time. It should be rectifiable. A nose scope is needed to evaluate.
Sneezing is a protective reflex to clear irritants or foreign particles from the nose. Hence we will sneeze even without hypersensitivity. However, if you sneeze excessively and repeatedly when exposed to the same item, you could have an allergy or hypersensitivity reaction to that particular item. You could also be sneezing because the dust is an irritant and you are sneezing to clear them.
If you have an allergy, besides sneezing, you would usually have other symptoms such as runny nose and nose block. I would suggest wearing a mask when in dusty places. Please consult your local doctor if sneezing continues.
If you have no pain, foul smell nose discharge or fever, you probably don't have sinusitis. It sounded like you have narrowed nasal passage, It is common for exercise to relieve the nose block. But if you are experiencing nose block all the time, you will need a nose scope to determine the underlying cause. You may need surgery to relieve the obstruction.
Use a saline nasal wash or rinse. You may apply vaseline ointment to hydrate the nose for a week. If persistent, please see your doctor to exclude an infection.
There are many causes of vertigo. If the vertigo is transient and resolved within a day, you may continue to monitor. If your vertigo is recurring or lasted more than a day, you need to see a doctor to determine the cause. The treatment depends on the underlying causes. If the origin of the vertigo is from the ear, usually 2 groups of medications are used. First group to control the acute symptoms i.e. vertigo, nausea or vomiting. Second group to improve the sense of balance.
If you are still not better, you may need to see a specialist. Sometimes, vestibular testing and rehabilitation therapy, blood test and even imaging may be needed to determine the cause.
For headaches and pain, the best medicine is pain killers. To remove the pain permanently, the root cause of the problem has to be identified. It is impossible to guess the cause from your description of symptoms. Headache could be due to the brain. Shoulder aches could be due to the cervical spine. The ear pain could be due to the ear or even the throat. These 3 symptoms may be related too. I strongly suggest a formal consultation with a doctor/specialist to workout the cause of your problem.
Dok saya ingin bertanya
Waktu saya membersihkan kotoran telinga saya,saya memasukkan air garam,den mengorek2 nya, setelah beberapa hari telinga saya mengalami sakit dan penurunan pendengaran serta telinga saya mengalami ada yg bergerak atau bergetar di dalamnya ketika mendengar suara yg agak keras
Air garam yang masuk kemungkinan tidak bisa keluar. Kelembapan di dalam telinga menyebabkan saluran telinga membengkak dan terasa sakit. Kemudian telinga tersumbat dan pendengaran menurun. Sensasi seolah ada yang bergerak di dalam telinga adalah karena adanya air yang tidak bisa keluar dari dalam telinga. Kemungkinan lain, kotoran telinga terdorong ke dalam dan menyentuh gendang telinga. Temui dokter agar cepat diobati. Jika tidak, Anda bisa terkena infeksi saluran telinga.
