Ms. lybrate-user it's unfortunate to hear such issue. All medicines have some or other side effects and your child is suffering from ototoxicity of typhoid medications. Keep in mind to inform any doctor you consult for your baby in future to inform about this event to prevent further damage. Secondly you didn't mention how bad the hearing loss is. Send audiometry and bera reports so that I can advise accordingly. If the damage is permanent then hearing aid will be the only option. There are some newer treatment options like intratympanic dexamethasone etc which can help ear recover from the damage. Pls meet any senior Ent consultant at your town. Get well soon.

Coffee often causes adrenaline rush and can cause symptoms such as you described. Gastric irritation due to excess caffeine can cause flatulence and cramps.
It's better to avoid in that case or decrease the amount you have.
Hope this helps.

Snoring: snoring is mainly due to vibration of pharyngeal parts mainly soft palate parapharyngeal bands base of tongue, adenoids and polyps in nose etc and also deviated nasal septum plays the role. It is better to go for sleep study test and endoscopy of nose and throat in awake and sleeping pt. Also mri during sleep helps to come to diagnosis. Sleep ap machine can help the pt. Also surgery of nasal polyp, deviated nasal septum, tonsils and adenoids, soft palate and base tongue can help to cure or reduce the snoring.

Health Query
Vertigo is a medical term which describes a sense of rotation even while stationary. It can often be confused with lightheadedness, generalised weakness, dizziness .
Vertigo may be caused by problems in your peripheral (Ear &balance mechanism inside ear known as the vestibular system) or central nervous system.
A complete checkup is required to isolate the cause.
Peripheral vestibular system causing vertigo symptoms may need initial medications to stabilise followed by
Vestibular Rehabilitation exercises.
A good quality of life can be achieved if properly managed.
Basic investigations:
A Pure tone audiometry and tympanometry can detect any problem in the ear nerves and tympanic membrane pressure (both of which can be abnormal in case of ear diseases)
An Xray of the Cervical Spine (AP /Lat/Lat-oblique to check for cervical spondylitis
CT brain and a complete haemogram are some of the baseline tests needed for a good evaluation of vertigo.
A cause of vertigo often difficult to diagnose is
BPPV
Benign Paroxysmal positional vertigo
BPPV can be treated with Epleys manoeuvre and Vestibular Rehabilitation exercises.
With regular vestibular exercise you can be symptom free and lead a normal life.
You have not mentioned whether your mom has Hypertension ,DIABETES, Or any other problems.
Any blood tests done like PPBS, Thyroid function tests, complete haemogram .Any history of head injury or neurological problem?
Dizziness can be due to generalised weakness, Cardiovascular ,neurological or Ear-brain-balance problem.
*Hope this helps
Thanks

Tinnitus is when you think that there is noise when there really is no sound. It is very common and is not very serious either. It affects about 1/5th of the population. It is worth note that tinnitus is not a condition. Instead, it is a symptom of having a condition. These conditions range from hearing loss, an ear injury or even a circulatory system disorder. Even though tinnitus does worsen with age however, it can also improve with treatment. If you know the cause of tinnitus, it does help treat it. Here is everything you need to know about tinnitus.
Symptoms of Tinnitus:
As mentioned earlier, tinnitus is a ringing, hissing, clicking or buzzing sound which only you can hear and no one else.
Causes of Tinnitus:
There are many common causes of tinnitus including:
- Age-related hearing loss: Tinnitus is commonly caused due to hearing loss.
- Meniere's disease: Meniere's disease is a type of inner ear disorder. It is when there are abnormalities in the fluid pressure of your inner ear.
- Medications: Many medications have a side effect of tinnitus as well including certain antibiotics, antidepressants, cancer medications and even aspirin.
- Loud noise exposure: Exposure to loud noise once in a while will not cause tinnitus. However, constant exposure to loud noise might cause tinnitus.
- Changes in the shape of your ear bone: Otosclerosis is an abnormal bone growth which results in the bones in your middle ear stiffening.
- Acoustic neuroma: There is a nerve, which goes from the brain straight to the inner ear. When this nerve develops a tumor, it is known as acoustic neuroma which is a common cause of tinnitus.
Treatment of Tinnitus:
Tinnitus can be only be stopped if the underlying condition is treated. However, there are certain electronic devices, which help suppress the noise including:
- Hearing aids: Hearing aids are already helpful for people who have hearing loss; however they can also help reduce tinnitus.
- Masking device: Wearing a masking device which continuously emits a low-level noise helps stop the buzzing, clicking, hissing or ringing sound which comes with tinnitus. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can ask a free question.
Asked for female, 34 years old from Delhi
Hi,
Please follow these tips to stop snoring:
- Reduce your weight if you are obese. - Perform pranayama (breathing exercises) everyday.
- Quit smoking which irritates the mucosal layer of the nose and throat and causes blockage and results in snoring. - Quit alcohol and sedatives which relax the throat muscles and results in snoring.
- Sleep on sides instead on back.
- Elevate the head by using a thick pillow which eases the breathing.
- Clear the nose before going to bed.
- Establish regular sleep pattern.
- Keep the bedroom air moist by using humidifier; as dry air irritates the mucosal membrane in the nose and throat.
- Perform throat exercises like repeating the vowels a, e, i, o, you loudly for 2-3 mins few times a day or keeping the tongue behind the teeth and moving it backwards - 3-4 times a day.
- Anti snoring appliances can also be used.

Asked for male, 23 years old from Delhi
In Allopathy, anti-histaminics or immunosuppressant medicines like steroids are used which only give temporary relief, with the problem returning once the medicine is stopped. On the other hand, during Homeopathy treatment of allergy is cured by strengthening the immune system and the symptoms subside on their own. At the same time, it needs to be understood that this is purely natural allergy treatment. No steroids or anti allergic medicines are used. The immunity is strengthened by Homeopathy instead of being suppressed as happens with allopathic treatment.
You can easily take an online consultation for further treatment guidance.
