403311 tn?1205951286 Otomax is not a cleaning solution. It is ear medication that treats yeast and bacteria otitis (ear infection). You can make a ear solution at home if your dog has a yeast infection in her ears. Use one tablespoon of vinegar in 1/2 cup of warm water. It should be either room temperature or slightly warmer since cold water in ears can cause inner ear problems.
Avatar f tn But when I did at first they did improve the symptoms one of which was that. I still have the same issue now regardless of my recovery from schizoaffective disorder. When someone coughs or sniffs I feel disgusted and contaminated. I avoid public bathrooms for the same reason. But this is all part of ocd. Standard anti-ocd medications (usually SSRI anti-depressents, Prozac through Luvox) can help on ocd and behavioral therapy is good as well.
Avatar f tn Hello all! I'm sure that this topic has come up before, but I can't find the post. I'm now 15w2d and have been coughing like crazy for the last week or so. It's so bad to the point where I'm occasionally gagging. I called the doctor today and she said all I can do is have tea with honey or some lozenges. Cough syrups have way too much alcohol in them. Has anyone else had success with anything "safe" for us?
1110049 tn?1409402144 I must say it worked great as his ears are really free from wax now. I shall only do it when I feel he needs it. Don't want to freak him out and chase him round the room. When I sprayed one ear, of course he made off at a great rate and I had to catch him to do other one. Poor Smudge, I hated upsetting him like that. We are friends again now!!
698356 tn?1240150727 I have an 18 month old terrier mix (yorkie/schnauzer). He has stinky ears. I've gently put a swab in his ear to see if there is any discharge or black spots for mites. No discharge. No mites. His ears aren't red at all. He doesn't itch them or shake them more than often. I've been cleaning his ears daily for about a week with OTC dog ear cleaner. It's helping but they are still a little stinky. Any ideas on getting rid of the stink?
Avatar f tn Does any one know anything we can take to supress coughing cuz its getting to the point my tummy is hurting from coughing so bad and I dont wanna hurt my baby :/

Avatar f tn this morning was my 3rd day and while I feel somewhat better I still have ache in back of head when bending, rising, coughing etc. I am to be scheduled next week for a physical therapist for head and agonizing mid back pain. I don't really have a question. Guess I'm wondering if there is hope for this agony to end?
6423135 tn?1478232713 m under water. I know it is wax but my ears make more wax than it usually does (witch the Doc told me) so I was wondering how far down can I clean my ears with out touching the eardrum.. to be honest I forget what inside looks like that's why I'm asking.. + i dont clean my ears out with Q-tips anymore.. I use a bobby pin to clean it out.. it works its littler and it always helps..
20787488 tn?1517914249 Cold and flu virus will live on a Kleenex for about an hour, on their hands for about two and on a hard surface for up to 24 hours. Ugh. Cleaning surfaces with cleaning wipes will help. And cleaning your own hands is essential. Proper hand washing and/or using hand sanitizer should be routine. Then basics like getting enough rest, exercising regularly and eating well will help you. That's the skinny on trying to avoid cold and flu.
1110049 tn?1409402144 My cat does not have ear mites, but thick brown wax forms every day. I clean them as best I can. They do not bother him. He does not shake his head or scratch. Is there a product I can use to clean his ears? Cats ears are so complicated, and I don't want to do any damage. He puts up with me cleaning them, because I don't like to seem them like that. He couldn't care less he has dirty ears! Also at the corner of his eyes he gets black "gunge" which I clear away.
Avatar n tn There are some Audiologists who will clean ears and may do so for less than what you may be charged at a doctors office. You could simply call around -- offices (of any kind) should be able to quote you charges for this procedure and then you can make a more informed choice. Some wax impactions are well beyond the abilities of the over-the-counter remedies, as you have discovered.
Avatar n tn it is a million times worse when she is sick with a cold.. but this coughing is when she has no cold too.. and again worse at night...it is constantly worsening.. we have not had a chest x-ray--but a sinus scan when she was 2-- i am at a loss as what to do and what is going on!!!!!! so tired.. we are all so tired!
Avatar f tn The other wanted to do deep cleaning which costs $1000 that i dont have. I know how important a cleaning is during pregnancy so I was bummed. good luck with your pregnancy and your cleaning.
Avatar f tn I have had blocked ears and coughing yellow phlem up for almost 2 months; it's beginning to clear this past week in my ears and the cough isn't as bad. I am taking pseudaphed during the day, benadryl at night and flonase. (Bad spelling) Now my throat is tight and it feels like I am about to get larengitis. Is it getting better or worse; should i keep doing what I am doing.
1371879 tn?1278467037 I have a white cat who gets sunburn, especially if something removes the hair on her ears. When she was pregnant and nursing, her ears lost a lot of hair, and after that she got sunburnt ears often because the skin was exposed. The hair never grew back well so we have had to keep her in sunblock after that in the summer. For a nose, that won't work, but I would definitely try keeping babyface out of the sun until he heals.
Avatar f tn For more than 30 years, Doctors have commented on how much my sinus drains. My hubby and I were at a restaurant over 25 years ago and they were cleaning their A/C ducts. My eyes stung, my throat burned and I started a small "tickle cough". My husband (then didn't understand allergies) said I'd get used to it as we'd already ordered! Other's were coughing too. No one I ask will tell me what they USED to use for cleaning of air duct work in A/C ducts (commerical ).
Avatar f tn I am having coughing fits to where I almost pass out, still super dizzy (even when not coughing) and my throat is even more sore and I hardly can talk (kids are enjoying that part lol) I think I have bronchitis. So glad I go see my primary doctor tomorrow. Are any of you ladies experiencing this?
Avatar f tn One never, never uses cotton tips to clean out one's ear. Go to Dr. Oz's blog or website...or Google...Cleaning ears with q-tips. The q-tip cotton could be the "culprit"...You need to see doctor and tell him that your cleaning your ears with q-tips. Cotton loosens.. gets clogged inside your ear.. Like I said...to to Dr. oz or google...Q-tips bad for cleaning ears... Good luck...
1276940 tn?1564515084 Hi.....my name is Lisa, I am 40 years old and for the past 2 years I have been getting strangled very easily when eating or drinking. It doesn't happen a lot......maybe twice a month but I start coughing and it takes forever for me to quit! I can hardly catch my breath!! We were eating out at a restaurant one time and I had someone ask me if I needed help I was coughing so bad!!
Avatar f tn s not possible to remove excessive earwax or even know if its a problem by using a Q-tip. We generally advise not to use Q-tips for cleaning the inside of the ears, because this can actually push the wax farther into the ear rather than remove it. It is possible that there was some wax that became dislodged as you were cleaning.
10221383 tn?1429442020 So, my little one is due this Thursday (23rd) and out of nowhere I have developed a horrible chest and ear infection. Decided to visit my GP who prescribed a rather large dose of antibiotics hoping the infection will clear up before labour starts. Has anyone been in a similar situation with either current or previous pregnancies? I was really looking forward to meeting my bundle of joy but I am now scared of how I will cope during labour.
Avatar f tn t totally blocked anymore, (they were) but are still relatively bunged up. Will this ringing in my ears go away? My left tragus hurts when I push it in which makes me wonder whether I have a slight ear infection - either way I have bought some ear infection spray. Is there anything else I can do to make this ringing go away? I'm terrified that it's going to be with my forever. Thank you!
Avatar f tn This tube can get blocked due to infections of the throat, which can give lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears. This can also result in infection of the ears. The blocked ears can be opened up by the valsalva maneuver, where air is blown into the cheeks against a closed nostrils, this sometimes helps to open up the tubes. Steam inhalations and warm salt water gargles can help clear the tube. Please consult your family physician. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn When I put my fingers in my ears to itch them, the inside of my right ear feels different than my left. When I run the back of my finger nails across the inside of my ears (as if a q-tip would if they were cleaning them) I can feel a bony piece almost like a small grain of rice or a small circular piece that I go over in my right ear but not my left. Is this normal?
Avatar n tn I want to know why I have these symptoms of constant feeling of something in throat and coughing up clear thick phlegm and waking up all times of night coughing and feel like a dryness in back of throat behind ears.
Avatar f tn You want it to get down into her ears. when you have it good and frothy, take your thumb and forefinger to massage under/behind her ears where it bulges a bit before meeting her head. Then rinse, rinse, rinse, inside and outside the ear. Rinse until you no longer see evidence of soap. Yes, her ears will have water in them. Thats okay, as she will just skake it out. Dry her ears as good as you can.
