I'm worried about my 10-year-old son because he has some wax built up in his ears. I've heard about using Clearwax ear drops, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Can you give me some advice on how to use them properly to clean his ears? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Instill two drops in each ear three times in a day,the wax would come out on its own,do not attempt to remove it.

Question

I'm feeling this weird vacuum sensation in my left ear, and it's like my hearing's kinda off on that side. I tried using an earbud to see if there's anything blocking it, but there was nothing. I even put some warm oil in there, hoping it would help, but it's still not getting better. What could be going on?

Question

I've been dealing with this issue for about 10 months now, and it's really stressing me out. It all began with some pain in my neck, and I felt like there was a weird mass or something abnormal inside. I went to a doc in ST Jones Bangalore, and he suggested an ultrasound, which showed a submandibular gland infection. He put me on a 7-day antibiotic course, twice, but it didn't help. Then they did an FNAC, but nothing was found, and I got another round of antibiotics, still with no improvement. After that, the doc recommended a biopsy, so I went over to Manipal hospital for another opinion. There, another ultrasound was done, which now didn't show any gland issues but indicated a mild swelling in the lymph node. Again, I was given a 7-day antibiotic, and still, nothing's changed. I've been to the doctor four times now, and they're just giving me medicine. But my pain is getting worse every day, and I'm really scared that it might be something serious. The symptoms keep changing, too. Lately, I feel numbness on my left side and head and have trouble swallowing and chewing. Could you advise me on what to do next?

Question

I'm really worried because last night a fish bone got stuck in my throat, and I can still feel it on the left side below my tonsils. I tried using my finger to get it out, but it just made me vomit really badly and now my throat hurts even more when I swallow. I've also tried eating rice as a home remedy, but that didn't work. What can I do to relieve this pain and get the bone out?
