I'm dealing with a blocked right ear due to wax buildup and I'm not sure what to do. I've got these small packets of Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9 with me, but I'm unsure if they're safe to use as ear drops for this. The label says it's a sterile isotonic solution of sodium chloride in water for injections, with a pH of 4.5 to 7.0 and no preservatives. Is it okay to use this on my ear, or should I look for something else?

Question

I've been experiencing this issue where my hearing keeps coming and going over the last couple of weeks. It's really odd because sometimes, especially when I'm eating, I feel like I can't hear anything at all, almost as if I'm completely deaf. Other times, things sound just fine. The problem seems to happen in intervals, and I'm honestly starting to get concerned about what's causing it. What could be going on with my ears?

Question

I'm really worried because for the past three months, I've had this constant excess mucus in my throat. I feel like I need to clear my throat all the time, and sometimes it even gets sore or I'll have a cough with this sticky mucus. It's frustrating because my throat occasionally turns red too. I'm trying to understand what's going on, but I'm completely stumped. What could be causing this? Is there something specific I should be looking out for or trying to manage it?

Question

I'm really struggling with this constant cough I've got in my throat; it's there almost all the time and I end up coughing a lot just to clear it. It's getting pretty unbearable for me. Sometimes, I even feel like something is dripping slowly from the top part of my nose. I recently had an NCCT PNS scan done, and my doctor says there's nothing serious going on, just recommended breathing exercises like Pranayam and some jogging, which honestly haven't helped much so far. Before making any more moves, I'd like to get a deeper understanding of what's actually in the report, especially the IMPRESSION part. Can you help explain what the medical findings mean?
