I had a mastoidectomy tympanoplasty about three weeks back, and ever since, I've been hearing these dub dub sounds every now and then. But since yesterday, I've been hearing it a lot more, and just today, it went on for about 20-30 minutes straight. There's no pain, but I'm really curious about why this is happening. It seems to get worse when I'm traveling, especially if there are potholes on the road. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

A flaky skin issue in your inner ear, followed by a transparent liquid discharge and pain, requires attention.
Possible causes:
- Ear eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Middle ear infection
- Eustachian tube dysfunction
Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Avoid further peeling or inserting objects into your ear to prevent infection or damage.

View allI've been feeling this mild pain on the left side of my throat, but only when I yawn. It's weird because swallowing food doesn't hurt at all. This has been happening on and off for the past week. The pain seems to be on the outside rather than inside my throat, and there's no swelling that I can see. What could this be? Is there something I should be worried about?
Could be due to muscle strain or irritation. Since you do not experience pain while swallowing food and there is no swelling in your throat, it is less likely to be an infection. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help with the discomfort. Additionally, you can try using throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water to soothe the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm having some pain above my jaw and I'm worried it might be because of an ear infection. How many Cipla ear drops should I use to help with wax removal?
Use 23 drops in the affected ear for wax removal, but only if there are no signs of infection (pain, fever, drainage). Avoid self-treating ear infections with drops without professional advice.

I've recently gotten over COVID-19, but now I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and I'm not sure what to do. I'm experiencing nasal congestion and occasional headaches. During my recovery, I was on steroids40mg for five days, 20mg for two days, and then 10mg for another two days. Afterwards, I took voriconazole 200mg for four days as per the advice I received. The nasal congestion feels really uncomfortable, and honestly, it's starting to scare me a bit. What should I do about this uneasiness?
That could be Sinusitis or DNS,do steam inhalation when needed,no need to worry If it is bothering you much visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
