Vertigo

Vertigo is characterised by a feeling of imbalance arising from the inner ear (vestibular system). When a sudden movement or a rapid change of the position of the head occurs, it can result in vertigo. The most common symptoms is dizziness which can also be caused by diseases or disorders such as arrhytmia or Ménière's disease.   The Vertigo is a sensation of instability of self or spinning objects in the environment, which is accompanied by malaise, fever, nausea, vomiting, loss of balance and feeling faint. It can be temporary or last days, and is usually caused by an alteration of the ear, the ear nerve connection to the brain or the brain itself. Also, the origin of these alterations may be an infection in the ear, lack of blood pressure, medications, skull fractures, brain tumors, pressure changes or loud noises, among others. There are different types of vertigo, classified according to the location of the problem that originates or feelings of the patient, ie if you notice instability of your body or if the environment that is spinning. The treatment involves the administration of drugs, as a function of the underlying cause dizziness, and the realization of a set of physical exercises. ...

Voice disorders

Voice disorders are disorders in sounds that depend on the larynx (vocal cords) and affect the pitch, timbre, intensity or duration. The origin of such changes can be organic, physiological, psychological or environmental. In addition, there are two types of disorders: dysphonia and aphonia. Aphonia is the total loss of voice temporarily or chronic and can be caused by overuse of the vocal cords, respiratory disease, intake of toxic or irritating products, excessive cold or nervous causes. Treatment may include resting the voice, medication, voice therapy or, in severe cases, surgery. Dysphonia is a disorder of voice intensity due to an injury in the organs of phonation (organic) or poor use of the voice (functional). The most common causes of this condition are overly straining your voice (voice hyperfunction), gastroesophageal reflux, smoking, infections such as laryngitis or tuberculosis, neurological disorders of the larynx, tumors, and trauma, among others. The treatment involves learning relaxation techniques and breathing, exercising the shoulder, neck and face muscles, and speech therapy. ...

Dysphonia

Dysphonia is a disorder characterised by an alteration of the timbre of the voice (difficulty in speaking) which can be due to various organic or functional causes of the larynx and vocal cords. When it occurs in children, it can come from neurological disorders, malformations of the larynx, laryngeal papillomatosis caused by viral infections, or from the voice being overly strained. The latter is the most common cause of dysphonia in adults, and that an untreated hyperfunction voice can produce other pathologies such as nodules or polyps on the vocal cords. In addition, other factors that can trigger dysphonia: gastro reflux, smoking, infections such as laryngitis or tuberculosis, neurological disorders or tumours of the larynx. ...

Hoarseness

Hoarseness is when the voice becomes raspy and strained, and can be accompanied by a sore throat. It can follow an illness like viral laryngitis or can be caused by overuse of the voice through singing or shouting. If it lasts longer than six weeks it could be chronic and need further investigation. ...

Rhinitis

What is rhinitis? Rhinitis is a condition where the nasal mucosa becomes inflamed. The nasal mucosa is the lining of the inside of the nose. This is a common condition and is thought to affect one in every five people in the UK. Rhinitis can be triggered by allergies, which is called allergic rhinitis (e.g. hay fever). Rhinitis can be acute or it can be chronic (long-lasting). What are the symptoms of rhinitis? The main symptoms are sneezing, an itchy nose, itchy eyes, an itchy throat, a lack of smell and a blocked nose with nasal discharge. Due to nasal congestion, the patient cannot breathe freely or easily. The symptoms occur mostly in the morning. This can be confused with a simple cold, but a cold will resolve in around two weeks, whereas rhinitis persists. What causes rhinitis? There are several causes of rhinitis. Rhinitis can be classified into three main groups: Allergic rhinitis – caused by the immune system reacting to an allergen. Often flares up on a seasonal basis. Non-allergic rhinitis – infection (bacterial or viral) causes infectious rhinitis; vasomotor rhinitis is caused by vasoconstrictor medications; hormonal rhinitis is caused by hyperthyroidism or pregnancy; mechanical rhinitis is caused by foreign bodies or a deviated septum. Atrophic rhinitis – caused by the reduction in size of the nasal mucosa. How can rhinitis be prevented and treated? For allergic rhinitis, it is difficult to completely avoid the triggering allergens, however, attempts can be made to reduce exposure, such as avoiding leaving the house early in the morning when pollen is at its worst and keeping the windows closed. Other treatment measures include: Regularly cleaning the nasal passages Antihistamines can help with allergic rhinitis Corticosteroid sprays Immunotherapy Antibiotics Surgery ...

Sleep apnoea

Sleep apnoea is the interruption of breathing that occurs moments after falling asleep, preceded by a period of loud snoring for at least 10 seconds. If this process is repeated 5 times for each hour of sleep it is called Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome. Obstruction of breathing causes a decrease in oxygen levels in the body that makes it difficult for the person to have a restful sleep and causes tiredness the next morning. In addition, the persistence of this lack of oxygen could lead to pulmonary hypertension and future right-sided heart failure or myocarditis, so it is important to detect it early and perform relevant tests for a safe diagnosis. A sleep study is carried out to establish treatment that includes the change of some lifestyle habits (diet, abstention from alcohol, postural changes) and the prescription of a CPAP machine, which generates air pressure via a nasal mask. This stops respiratory obstruction, preventing snoring and favouring restful sleep. In some cases, surgery may be required if there are any airway scars or when the mask is not effective. ...

Tonsillitis

What is tonsillitis? Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils that are located at the back of the throat. It is very common in children and adolescents, but adults can suffer from tonsillitis too. What are the symptoms of tonsillitis? If you have tonsillitis, your tonsils will be red and swollen. You will also have a combination of the following symptoms: A sore throat A fever (temperature of 38C or over) A headache Fatigue Nausea Difficulty swallowing Earache White pus-filled spots on the tonsils Swollen glands in the neck What causes tonsillitis? Tonsillitis is caused by a viruses or bacterial infection. Streptococcal tonsillitis is the most common cause. The tonsils are vulnerable to infection because they are one of the body’s first lines of defence in the immune system. Can tonsillitis be prevented? Tonsillitis can be prevented by practising good hygiene: Not sharing eating and drinking utensils. Avoiding contact with those infected. Washing hands frequently. How is tonsillitis treated? If your tonsillitis is caused by a virus, then at-home care is the only treatment for recovery. The following can be used to promote a quicker, more comfortable recovery: Throat lozenges Rest Staying hydrated Avoiding caffeine Gargling with salt water Using painkillers to manage discomfort If your tonsillitis is caused by a bacterial infection, then you will be prescribed a course of antibiotics. These must be taken as instructed, and the full course finished. People who suffer from tonsillitis frequently are advised to have the tonsils removed. If an abscess forms between the tonsils (this is called a quinsy), see a doctor, as this may need to be drained. ...
