00:00 From the 3rd to the 11th of December, we will be holding the Ear, Nose and Throat Consciousness Week.

00:06 Because of that, here in Cenedoc, we will talk about the proper care of our ears, nose and throat.

00:14 And joining us for that is Dr. Ronel Uy Gutierrez, an ENT specialist.

00:20 Dr. Uy, welcome back to Rise and Shine Philippines. This is Diana and Audrey.

00:24 Good morning, Doc.

00:25 Yes, good morning Diana and Audrey. Thank you very much for having me.

00:30 Is it true that if you have a problem with your ears, nose or throat,

00:38 even just one of these can cause a problem with your ears, nose and throat?

00:44 The "hawa-hawa" (ear, nose and throat)

00:46 Usually, it depends on the disease that our patient has.

00:52 But there is a possibility, Audrey, that these three can be infected.

00:57 Our ears, nose and throat.

01:00 On the back, there are passageways.

01:04 And if the infection spreads to these areas, it can affect other parts of our body.

01:12 Doc, what are the common problems or diseases that we experience in our ears,

01:17 nose and throat?

01:22 Thank you, Diana.

01:23 The usual thing in the ears, let's divide it into external, middle and inner ear.

01:30 And what we usually see in the external ear is the impaction.

01:36 There is a continuous dirt inside the ear.

01:41 It can cause inflammation or the external dotor canal can be swollen.

01:48 And it may also lead to infection.

01:50 That's what we usually see in our clinics.

01:54 If there are earwax, the middle ear is affected.

01:59 And if it is affected, it can cause infection that we call "yuga".

02:04 So, if there is this kind of infection, the doctor can see it.

02:08 And in the inner ear, if you are exposed to strong noise,

02:14 especially now that we are going to have activities,

02:18 there will be a noise inside the ear.

02:21 And usually, this is the sensorineural hearing loss that becomes a problem for the patient.

02:26 That's why there is a strong noise.

02:29 There are also many in the nose.

02:31 But the common thing now, because of the change of climate,

02:34 the allergic rhinitis becomes cold,

02:38 we usually see it when the nose is drooping like water.

02:44 The nose is drooping, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left.

02:48 And sometimes, it's drooping.

02:50 Because of what we call post nasal drip,

02:54 the nose is drooping in the back of the nose.

02:57 And this is what triggers their drooping.

03:00 And in the throat,

03:02 usually, during Christmas, during the holiday season,

03:07 there will be tonsillitis,

03:10 pharyngitis.

03:12 Tonsillitis is when their tonsils inflate.

03:15 Pharyngitis, laryngitis, when they get a sore throat,

03:19 they get a cold.

03:21 Especially when they drink cold drinks.

03:25 They get a cold, they get a soreness of throat,

03:29 and that's when they get laryngitis.

03:31 So, in a nutshell,

03:33 these are the common diseases we see in our clinics during this time.

03:39 Okay, Doc, can you remind our fellow countrymen

03:43 how to properly take care of our ears, nose, and throat?

03:46 Is it right to always use cotton buds?

03:49 Or does drinking cold drinks always damage the throat,

03:53 like what you said earlier?

03:56 Yes, Ods.

03:58 The ear, you know, the earwax is our protective mechanism.

04:04 It has antimicrobial properties

04:07 and it serves as protection inside our ears.

04:10 So, let's not always turn our ears.

04:14 We don't have a clear idea, Ods,

04:16 how often, because some ears are dry,

04:20 while others have wet earwax.

04:25 So, what we recommend is to clean the outside of the ear,

04:31 not the inside,

04:33 because it's more likely to get dirt and it can be a painkiller.

04:38 Now, the nose,

04:40 as we said, don't turn the inside of the nose.

04:44 And the correct breathing,

04:46 don't cover the two holes in the nose.

04:48 You only need one hole

04:50 so that the pressure buildup doesn't go to the ears.

04:53 That's the problem when both holes are closed.

04:57 The throat, like what you said,

04:59 let's avoid drinking too cold water

05:03 because it can cause inflammation of our throat.

05:06 If it causes, you can drink warm water with lemon.

05:10 It has antioxidant properties

05:12 and, of course, antiviral and bacterial properties.

05:16 It's better for your throat.

05:18 Oh, Doc Luis' reminders are so good for us.

05:22 But I'm curious, Doc,

05:24 as you said earlier,

05:25 the loud noise,

05:27 because it's a trend now,

05:29 party, party, the loud noises.

05:31 Yes, loud speakers in party, party.

05:34 Why is that?

05:35 We need to lower the sound.

05:38 Is that so?

05:39 What about those in bars?

05:41 In cars.

05:42 Yes, in cars.

05:44 We like to...

05:45 Is that bad?

05:46 What we need to remember is that we get ear fatigue

05:50 when our ears hurt.

05:52 That's hard.

05:54 And when you hear a loud noise.

05:56 Now, if you remember,

05:59 the exposure to loud noises

06:02 that cause noise-induced hearing loss

06:04 is inversely proportional.

06:06 It means that if you're exposed to a loud noise,

06:12 you need to stay there for a while.

06:16 If you stay there for a long time,

06:20 even if it's a short time, you won't hear it.

06:23 So, that's our advice.

06:25 For example, loud noises,

06:28 loud noises that are loud,

06:29 your exposure should be limited.

06:31 Just for a while.

06:32 Because if you're exposed there,

06:33 within 4 hours, 8 hours,

06:36 it can cause noise-induced hearing loss.

06:38 Oh, no.

06:39 What if you ride a jeepney and there's traffic?

06:42 How many hours can you hear the jeepney?

06:45 You should talk to the driver.

06:48 I'm getting sick there.

06:49 Okay, talk.

06:50 So, sometimes, when you get off the jeepney,

06:52 your head hurts.

06:54 Your ears hurt.

06:55 So, if you have an earmuff,

06:59 if you know that you're riding a jeepney,

07:01 you should cover your ears.

07:04 And if it's really loud,

07:07 you should just get off the jeepney.

07:09 You should look for another jeepney

07:11 instead of ruining your ears.

07:12 You should just walk down.

07:14 You should exercise.

07:15 Doc, I have a question.

07:18 What if you hear a bell sound in your ears?

07:24 Sometimes, I hear a long sound

07:27 that you can hear suddenly.

07:29 What does that tell you?

07:31 It's like this.

07:32 It's like this?

07:33 Diana, don't make a sound like that.

07:36 Because that's different.

07:37 [Laughs]

07:38 It's funny.

07:39 There's a sound like that.

07:41 When you hear a bell sound,

07:44 it can cause fatigue in your ears.

07:48 Sometimes, it can spontaneously disappear.

07:53 But if it's a long-term thing,

07:55 we call it tinnitus,

07:57 we should get it checked by our doctor

07:59 because we have a problem with our inner ear

08:03 and it causes sensory-neural feeling loss.

08:06 So, it's better to get it checked by a specialist.

08:09 Especially, the Philippine Society of Otolaryngology

08:12 and Hygiene Surgeon.

08:14 I have a question.

08:16 In the lungs,

08:17 because it's a hot topic now,

08:19 there are a lot of people who have pain in the lungs.

08:21 It's like this.

08:22 I noticed that.

08:23 What can we do as a first aid

08:27 when the lungs are hurting?

08:30 If the lungs are hurting,

08:33 it can be caused by inflammation.

08:36 It means that the voice is used too much.

08:40 That's why there are soreness of throat

08:42 or a change in voice.

08:45 It can also be caused by trauma

08:47 because the cold or hot areas are exposed.

08:50 It can also be caused by viral or bacterial infections.

08:55 It can be caused by inflammation or infection.

09:00 So, just hydrate.

09:02 It's better to hydrate.

09:06 Drink a lot of water.

09:08 Let your lungs rest

09:10 so that it can return to its normal performance.

09:13 Usually, we are the announcers.

09:16 We use our voice every day.

09:20 So, if I feel that I have a problem,

09:24 is it right to do that?

09:26 I buy something from drugstores

09:28 that is like a gargle

09:30 to remove the bacteria from the lungs.

09:33 That's right, Odds.

09:35 You can use over-the-counter gargles

09:38 or commercial-based gargles.

09:40 We also have so-called lozenges.

09:45 It can relieve you of pain

09:49 or any symptoms that you may feel.

09:53 Is it bad to use earphones for a long time?

09:58 Especially if the volume is high.

10:00 We always use a volume pen.

10:02 As I said earlier,

10:06 especially in-the-ear pods,

10:09 it is directly connected to our esophageal canal

10:13 and to the eardrum.

10:15 The pressure can cause fatigue in the ear

10:20 and eventually may lead to sensory neural hearing loss.

10:23 Especially if it is too loud.

10:25 It is like when your neighbor hears you

10:29 and you are listening to them

10:31 even if you are wearing headphones,

10:33 it means that you are using too much volume.

10:37 This is the last question.

10:39 I have a lot of questions about ANT.

10:41 I heard this.

10:43 Do we sometimes need to check the voice box?

10:48 That's right, Diana.

10:50 We check the voice box

10:53 by using endoscopes.

10:56 We have telescopes

10:58 that we can wear on our nose

11:02 to the back of our throat

11:04 or directly to our mouth to our throat.

11:07 This way, we can see the structures

11:11 in our ears and in our throat.

11:14 We learned a lot today, Mr. Jokluwia.

11:17 Do you know what is really good for the ears,

11:20 the smell and hearing?

11:22 It is like a maritess.

11:24 Their ears and throat will not be exhausted.

11:27 They can smell and hear fast.

11:30 That's right.

11:32 That is how good it is for the ears, throat and nose.

11:37 Thank you very much for sharing your information with us.

11:40 Dr. Louie, thank you for the free telemedicine.

11:43 Anytime, Diana.

11:44 Thank you very much, Dr. Louie.
