I am a 25-year-old male with jaw pain near the ear for the past few weeks. The pain occurs only while chewing food or opening my mouth wide; there is no pain at rest. Dental examination and OPG X-ray are normal. I have been taking Zerodol-P and Zerodol-TH8, but the pain has not fully resolved. I want to know the possible cause of this pain and which specialist I should consult for further management.
I had used an earphone which was uncomfortable. Only used 3 or 4 times while riding bike. Its design was such that it went inside the ears. The helmet also pushed it inside.
This was about 4 months ago. I stopped using it as soon as it irrirated. I also used ear drops for a week after that. But even now, both ears are itching and irritating a bit. Not the whole day, but few times a day. No issues with hearing.
How do I fully get rid of this irritation?
I have a buzzing / pulsatile sound in my left ear only.
I consulted an ENT:
- Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA): Normal
- Tympanometry: Normal
Since all tests were normal, I was not using any ENT medicines.
Recently, I started having hair fall, so a dermatologist prescribed:
- Oral Minoxidil 0.25 mg daily
After starting oral Minoxidil, my left ear buzzing sound increased.
I want to know the actual cause, because oral Minoxidil increased the sound, so maybe you can tell what the reason could be.
I do not want to use random tinnitus medicines without knowing the cause.
My questions:
1. What could be the cause of pulsatile buzzing when ENT tests are normal?
2. Why oral Minoxidil worsen tinnitus / pulsatile tinnitus?
3. Should I continue oral Minoxidil and increase the dose, or stop it?
4. Any test that can tell the actual reason for pulsatile ringing in the left ear, especially since it increased after oral Minoxidil?
What is the reason for the buzzing sound
I scratched by nose by mistake last week and it got wounded and started swelling more and more and it's getting more and more painful. Please help what do I do
Hello doctor,
Currently I'm suffering from swollen ear, only one ear where under the ear area there's a swollen pea like stuff. It happened yesterday.
Yesterday morning there wasn't anything but as evening continued it continued to swell more and stinging pain has also started recently.
I took ibuprofen 400mg yesterday.
Today I got a solution to put into the ear but I feel no improvement.
It's hurts.
Any help..kindly help me out?
