I've got a really odd situation going on. I threw up a cheeseburger and fries, and it was so intense that somehow it came out of my nose and even my ears. I'm confused and a bit worriedhow could this happen? I was literally cleaning bits of food out of my ears with cotton swabs and alcohol. Now, it's been about 72 hours, and while I've managed to get most of it out of my nose, it still feels like there's something stuck in my ear canals. Is this something I should be really worried about, and is there anything else I can do to clear it out?

That's impossible that food coming out of ears, your ear might have got blocked, practice valsalva for relief,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I've been feeling this weird needle-like sensation in my throat for a couple of days. There's no soreness or itchiness, and I don't have a cold or anything. It actually feels better when I drink something warm. Do you think taking something like Azithromycin or Amoxy Clav would help?

That could be mucosal congestion consume warm liquids for a day and check if its still there you can take either of the tablet .

I'm dealing with this headache that feels more like intense pressure, especially at the back of my head behind the ears on both sides. Bending over makes it worse, spreading the pressure to my forehead. I had mucus thickening in my sphenoid, maxillary, and ethmoid sinuses about 34 months ago. I was previously recommended to use Azeflo nasal spray, which I haven't used in a while, but I tried it today and it didn't help. I don't have a runny nose or cold symptoms right now. Do you think this might be a sinus issue, and should I see an ENT specialist, or would it be better to consult a physician first?

That could be sinusitis,visit ENT doctor for appropriate management also consume warm foods and d o steam inhalation 2 times in a day
