I accidentally used xylometazoline hydrochloride nasal spray in my ear instead of my nose. I'm really worried about what might happen. Can you tell me if this is dangerous or if there are any steps I should take now?

I'm feeling a bit worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing, and I could really use your advice. Lately, I've been noticing a pressure in my ears and a popping sound in my eustachian tube whenever I swallow. There's no pain involved, but there's this weird globus sensation in my throat that's painless too. On top of that, my nose feels clogged like it's dripping, and sometimes I get acid reflux. I've already checked for COVID, and the test came back negative, so I'm just curious if all these could be related somehow?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I've been dealing with a swollen and painful lymph node under my chin for a while now. Plus, my nose won't stop bleeding, and it's been happening for the last two months. I'm also having this weird feeling like something's stuck in my throat, which makes it hard to swallow food. What could be going on with me?

It's been about three weeks since I got over Covid, but I'm having this issue where one side of my nose keeps getting partially blocked off and on throughout the day. The side it happens on changes randomly. Plus, there's this slight feeling of mucus in my throat every now and then. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it pretty normal post-recovery?

It's not uncommon to experience lingering symptoms like nasal congestion and throat mucus after recovering from COVID. These can be part of post-viral recovery, but if they persist or worsen, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any other issues.
