Hi, If you are asking me about the antibiotic prescribed to you is correct or not ,then yes it is correct. I am sure he must have told you about the rest of the treatment. - Have rest may be for a day - Have plenty of fluids - Have comforting fluids(liitle cold fluids),to soothe your throat - Do gargles with salt water - Use lozenges - Avoid irritant(like smoking) He must have given you a nsaids(pain killer+anti-inflammatory) Feel free to ask any further question ...

GERD. It has been on and off since 2008. The condition worsened last month in Jan 2013 and I could hardly swallow any solid food. It just gets stuck in the throat and feel like I am choking till I push the food down with water. Liquids and semi solid foods are ok. The doctors did Nasal Endoscopy, Normal Gastro Endoscopy, Esopheagal Manometry, Barium Swallow X-Ray and all tests came up normal. I was told the swallowing problem is primarily related to GERD and I was advised Cintapro 1 mg tablet for 1 month. So far as I take the tablet, I am able to take in selected solid foods fine, but not all foods. If I do not take this tablet for one day, the problem recurrs back. Question 1: How long will this motility disorder be related to GERD ? Question 2: Are there any side effects of taking this Cintapro 1 mg to help in motility on a long term basis (Say if I need to take this for some more time) Questionj 3: Are there any other tests that will show the proper reason for this motility disorder of the esophaegus (Apart from Esopheagal Manometry, Gastro Endoscopy, Barium Swallow X-Ray) etc.

GERD will persist but the effect can be decreased by life style modification like good brisk walk for 40 mins, avoiding fat, consuming more curd and buttermilk rather than milk and keeping a gap of 2 hrs between food and sleep. Cintpro is by and large relatively safe drug for long term use till now. We need to see the reports of existing tests before we proceed with further tests Stress has significant role in symptoms so please be relaxed. ...

Hello. I am 35 have ENT problems- I have had tonsillitis many times as a child and quinsy about 6 times. Following a bad time with the last quinsy I am now booked in gor a tonsillectomy on Thursday morning. My other symptoms are excessive mucus in my throat which I get out and get rid of. I have been diagnosed with polyps in my sinuses. I have been told I have a lot of scaring from the quinsy's and a tonsillectomy will not be easy due to bleeding etc. From my point of view I feel having this operation is prompt and I haven't been examined thoroughly to see if it is something else causing the abcesses. The thing is reading up about quinsy- they form after a bout of streptococcus or untreated tonsillitis. But when I get one, it can come on suddenly within hours- a gland on the left hand side of my neck swells and then within hours it hurts, stinks and I have pain all in my ear too. So I eat toast cooked about 3times so extremely hard and sharp and cry whilst swallowing it- hoping it burst and relieves the pressure. That always worked until last time and I got worse after it burst and got hospitalised for treatment. They had never treated me before or known the way it develops and now want to take my tonsils out. I have scared tissue now- surgery will be hard- then I may get more after (my throat is already tight) and if it is my Weber gland at fault having a tonsillectomy will not stop the abscess from forming again. What should I do?

LASER Surgery is safe, bloodless and minimal (if any) scarring ...

I am a 24 yr old female about 5'4 and weigh about 135. A couple months ago I found a lump on the right side of my neck and it was large enough to see so I went to the doc and he seemed pretty concerned so he sent me for a cat scan and blood work. When he got the results he sent me to a ear nose and throat doc. After that doc checked me out he wanted to look at the cat scan imagine s himself and told me that ibnow had 2 lumps. I have been having trouble swallowing and horseness in my voice I also find myself clearing it alot and stiffness in my neck. I am very concerned and it seems like this doc is taking forever to tell me anything. Can you please help me I am scared.. also the second one that he found has a pulse and the reason why I went to get it checked out in the first place was because when I was 8 they removed a thyroid glossil duck cyst and I thought maybe that was coming back but they said it was to far right to be that i guess.

Without seeing report of CT SCAN, BLOOD REPORT and DOCTOR"S EXAMINATION REPORT difficult to say anything. ...

Sir from past 2 years i am suffering from weird kind of problem that is suddenly my throat gets dry and starts to pain.The pain persists until i take medicine(antibiotics prescribed by an ent).The sore throat only causes pain in backside of throat but no frequent coughing, only mild cough.Even when i go for running , sometimes my throat gets dry and starts to pain and then again i have to take medicine.The occurence is really random.Sometimes while sipping tea or any liquid , there are cracking voices from my throat and i feel like a little lump in my throat( sometimes) , but no issue with swallowing food. I went through several nasal , sinus ct scans that showed that my nasal bone is slightly deviated(very little) , but my nasal passage is sometimes fine and sometimes blocked. I have taken antibiotics,fluticone ft, momeflo,unicontin, over the course of my treatment prescribed by my ent but all these effects were temporary .after leaving medicine for 1-2 months symptopma reappear.Please advice what to do.

You are most probably suffering from Ruflux Esophagopharyngitis. Do not skip meals. Have an early supper(at least 3 hours before bedtime). Cut down on spicy & sour foods, tea & coffee. Consult an ENT Specialist locally if symptoms persist after 2 weeks of following my advise. ...
