Hey, I was cleaning my ears with an earbud after a bath and the cotton got stuck inside. It's pretty deep and I can't get it out. What should I do about this?

Should I consider taking antibiotics as well? Is amoxicillin 250mg okay? I've been dealing with this for the past two days, and I have chronic maxillary sinusitis. What do you think I should do?

I'm having this crackling noise in my left ear for a while now and it's starting to worry me. I went for an audiometry test and they said everything's normal, but I still can't shake the feeling that something's off. It's especially bad when I use my phone on that sideI can hear things but they sound muffled and unclear. Plus, there's this constant tinnitus that's been bothering me. What could be going on?
The crackling noise, muffled hearing, and tinnitus in your left ear, despite normal audiometry results, suggest possible conditions like Eustachian tube dysfunction, patulous Eustachian tube, or middle ear myoclonus; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist
