Question

I'm really worried because after using a Q-tip, my ear got totally clogged and I can barely hear anything now. I tried putting Debrox in on the same day but it didn't help. I even went to Urgent Care and the doctor tried flushing my ear, but still no improvement. Now I need to see an ENT. Is there anything they can do? Can you tell me if there's a chance the hearing loss might not be permanent? I'm not in any pain though.

Question

I'm really worried because I've noticed a small amount of blood in my mouth. It happens when I clear my throat from water, and I see it mixed with saliva when I spit. Another time, I felt the same when I bent down to touch my feet while standing. I don't smoke or drink, and I'm a 29-year-old male, 5.7ft tall, weighing 67 kg. What could be causing this?

Question

I've been having this really weird issue for the past three days where I keep smelling vomit in my nose and mouth, even though I haven't been sick. It's not going away, and it's kinda freaking me out. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

Question

I've had these Circumvallate papillae for about 5 years, and just last Thursday, after dinner, I noticed some new bumps forming behind them. I'm not someone who smokes or drinks. I even attached a couple of images for you to seethe first highlights these bumps in red, located right behind the junction of the Circumvallate papillae, and the second should help pinpoint exactly where they are. It's tough to get an appointment with an ENT right now. I'm just wondering, does this sound normal to you, or should I be worried enough to try harder to see a doctor? I'm dealing with anxiety over this and it's affecting my sleep. I'm really hoping you can help me understand what's going on.
