Suggest Treatment For Nausea, Post Nasal Drip And Ear Fullness

default
Posted on Wed, 7 Jun 2017
Question: I thought that I had a taco chip stuck in roof of mouth yesterday after dinner. I found a hard, what looks like a pimple, on the roof of my mouth. Just right of the center of roof of mouth. Today when I swallow I still feel, and see, the bump but it feels like my roof of my mouth is a little swollen now, the pimple is still white and hard. My ears feel full and I have nausea. Two nights ago, I became very nauseous and threw up (before I found the bump). Can the bump be from an infection, or a chip stuck up there? How do you know it's not cancer? My ears also feel full and burning. Do I see a primary care physician, ENT or my Peridontist? Of note, last week I had a deep cleaning around some of my teeth to the point were I was bleeding as she was digging so far into my gums. She thought there was something stuck up in the gums so keep digging. Could this have caused an infection? My tonque is also white and roof has some areas of dark red, vein and yellow/whitish areas today. I don't think so. I have had some chills and a little achey. Ear fullness. Extreme nausea off and on and some drainage down back of throat.

Foreign body mouth

Detailed Answer:
HI
Welcome to healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
A sudden discomfort can't bedue to any malignancy. It is definitelynot cancer. The problem is due to the chip stuck in palate. You havr to get it removed by the doctor. An ENT specialistis best to consult.
The postnasal drip and throat discomfort might be due to nasal infection. Even the ear fullness is due to eustachian tube blockage caused by nasal infection.
Please send me the pictures of your throat so that i can suggest you better and prescribe you accordingly.
Also tell me do you have frequent sneezing or nasal blockage?
Any hearing difficulty or popping in the ears?
Get a xray paranasal sinuses done.
Follow up with the required information.
Take care
Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
Foreign body mouth

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the pictures.
The bump in the soft Palate is probably due to some foreign body as rest of the oral mucosa is absolutely fine. You can try to palate it softly and remove it with a plucker or visit an ENT SPECIALIST to get it removed as prolonged presence can lead to infection.
for ear complaints take a combination of levocetrizine and phenylepherine twice daily.
Take steam inhalation and chew a gum.
Use xylometazoline nasal drops three times a day.
All the medicines I have prescribed will be available at prescription only.
take all for a week.
Any further questions are always welcome.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks and regards

Thank you. How do i get the precriptions? Also, do you think these correspond to another symptom i have which is scalp soreness? It feels like Ive had a pony tail up for weeks? It looks like the pimple on my roof is gone today but my roof of mouth is a little yellowish. Also, extreme nausea.

Brief Answer:
Foreign body mouth

Detailed Answer:
HI
The yellowish discoloration can be due to pus and infection caused by a retained foreign body. The scalp symptoms are not related to this.
The nausea can be due to infection only. You should visit an ENT specialist and get the chip removed if present.
You can take tablet stemetil for nausea. The medicines need to be prescribed by a doctor for their availability. So you have to visit a doctor for getting them prescribed.
Wish you get well soon.
