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?

I've been dealing with tonsillitis and I've got these white patches in my throat. I've tried taking Novamax 500 for a couple of nights, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Should I stop using it and try something else like Azithromycin Azithral 500 for the next three days? Or would Augmentin 625 Duo be a better option? I'm trying to figure out which one would work best for treating tonsillitis.

Fertisure M is a supplement designed to support male fertility, particularly sperm motility. However, individual results may vary, and the effectiveness of Fertisure M depends on several factors, including: 1. *Underlying causes of low motility*: If the low motility is due to an underlying medical condition, Fertisure M may not be enough to completely resolve the issue. 2. *Dosage and compliance*: Ensure your husband takes the supplement as directed by the doctor. 3. *Combination with other treatments*: Fertisure M might be prescribed in conjunction with other treatments or lifestyle changes. Typically, supplements like Fertisure M may take around 3-6 months to show noticeable improvements in sperm motility. However, this timeframe can vary significantly from person to person. *Monitoring progress*: Regular semen analysis tests (every 2-3 months) can help track changes in sperm motility. This will enable your husband's doctor to assess the effectiveness of Fertisure M and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
