Dr. Michael Morris, MD's Expert Contributions
Itchy ear canals?
Why tubes at your age, do you have allergies? If so get desensitized READ MORE
Throat problem?
Do you have any seasonal allergy? Reflux would cause discomfort and swelling in the throat, not necessarily a tickle. Try taking an over-the-counter allergy medicine to see if that helps. READ MORE
Eardrum?
Is your hearing in that ear affected? A perforation is possible. It would be important to get that examined and until then keep it protected from water or other contamination that might cause an infection. READ MORE
Where is the pressure point for ear pain?
Unfortunately, it will be difficult to find a pressure point for ear pain as ear pain can be caused by one of the many nerves that innervate the ear. One of those nerves is the vagus nerve that goes down into the abdomen. Sometimes patients with problems in their abdomen or kidney can have ear pain because of that problem. READ MORE
How do you know if your baby has too much ear wax?
The impact of too much wax could cause hearing loss and importantly it would make it difficult for a doctor to evaluate the tympanic membranes. If your child has an ear infection or ear pain it will be important to remove the wax in order to see the eardrum and determine if there is an infection behind the eardrum. READ MORE
How do I help my baby with an ear infection?
An ear infection and a six-month-old should be evaluated by a physician. It should be treated with an antibiotic promptly. If left untreated it could perforate the eardrum and cause permanent hearing loss. READ MORE
What are the risks associated with turbinate removal?
Empty nose syndrome Google it. You should make sure the doctor does not take much of the turbinate tissue out. The turbinate heat and humidified air that you breathe. They could be enlarged from allergies if you have them. Get allergy tested if you think you have allergies. READ MORE
How long does ear pain from TMJ last?
Typically not too long. It could be from an event of biting something hard. In that case would just last for a few days not more than a week or 10 days. If you have a chronic problem with your bite it might continue. READ MORE
Can the long-term use of Sinuend and Foxair cause vertigo?
I don't think so because vertigo caused by inner ear problems would have to impact the inner ear or the nerve connected to the inner ear from the brain. Not something used in the treatment of asthma. READ MORE
Tinnitus?
I would first get the wax removed to see if that helps with the clicking and ringing sound in your ear. A doctor can do that and evaluate the eardrum and also send you for a hearing test to see if is anything wrong with your hearing contributing to your ear symptoms. READ MORE
I have a really bad pain in my left ear and I can't hear?
You could have an ear infection causing pain in your ear of the ear canal or of the middle ear behind the eardrum. It would be best to be seen by a doctor to determine which is which. READ MORE
Swallowing is hurting and nearly impossible?
You might have an infection with a fever and changes in your tongue and bad breath. Something as simple as penicillin might help you. READ MORE
How can I stop my toddler's coughing?
Consider getting your toddler tested for allergies. Nonseasonal allergies like dust and mold can occur before age 5 and a toddler and cause coughing. Alternatively you could try a over-the-counter allergy medication. READ MORE
I had surgery 4 and a half day ago to open my sinuses?
See if you can get the packing stents sooner. Were you aware of less invasive Stryker Balloon Sinuplasty? Less post-operative pain, recovery. READ MORE
Odd throat pain?
Fever? Getting worse, see an ENT doctor. READ MORE
Ear infection question?
If your ear is still in pain and the nurse said everything looked fine, you need to look elsewhere for where the pain is coming from. It may be necessary to do a temporal bone CT scan to see if you have an infection behind the ear in the mastoid cavity. That's something that you can't see on an exam and should be investigated if you have pain in the ear without any appearance of any illness in the ear canal or middle ear. READ MORE
Nasal discharge during mastication?
That could be vasomotor rhinitis. Does it depend on the temperature of the food you're eating? READ MORE
HPV?
See an ear nose and throat doctor to make sure you don't have any in your nose or oral cavity or even in your larynx. READ MORE
Why does my 2 year old have an itchy and inflamed throat?
It could be an infection. Getting a throat swab would help to determine if it is or isn't an infection. Also checking to see if any lymph nodes are swollen and the neck tender bumps in the neck that could point to an infection or without those point away from an infection READ MORE
Can plastic surgery get rid of a nose hump?
Yes surgery of the nose could help with a hump. You want to make sure however that the surgery doesn't interrupt with your breathing through the right or left side of your nose. Getting a scan of your nose would help to determine the best way to correct the nasal hump without affecting the nasal airway. READ MORE
