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?

View allI've had these holes in my ears since I was a kid, but I'm not really sure what they are. I did some googling and it looks like they might need surgery if they ever get infected. Here's the thing: I have no idea if my ears are infected or not. Every time I press near the holes, some kind of fluid comes out. Do you have any idea what this could be? Should I be worried?
That could be CSOM,this needs immediate attention,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate management,yes this might need surgical correction.

I've got a throat infection, and I'm wondering if azibact and cepodem have the same ingredients. Is it safe to switch from one to the other, especially if I'm dealing with something like follicular tonsillitis?
Azibact contains Azithromycin, while Cepodem contains Cefpodoxime. They belong to different classes of antibiotics and have different compositions. For throat infection or follicular tonsillitis, Azithromycin (Azibact) is commonly used. Cefpodoxime (Cepodem) may also be effective for these conditions, but it is not typically the first choice. It is important to follow the specific dosage and duration as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I've had this pain on the middle right side of my throat when I yawn or swallow saliva for about 3 weeks now. Plus, I have this weird lump sensation in my throat. I went to the doctor, and she didnt see anything wrong, but didnt explain why this is happening. It's really been worrying me because I'm generally healthy, eat well, and I'm pretty active. I do drink sometimes and smoke a few cigarettes a day. What's going on? Should I be concerned?
that could be mucosal congestion,consume warm foods and take warm fluids,it itself heal.
