I recently had my ear wax removed by an ENT specialist and now everything sounds super loud to me. My own voice even echoes a lot, which is really disturbing. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?

you may be experiencing temporary changes in your hearing sensitivity and perception due to the removal of ear wax. To cope with this, you can try using ear plugs or earmuffs in noisy environments to reduce the loudness of sounds. Additionally, you can try speaking softly and practicing speaking at a lower volume to minimize the echo effect of your own voice. Over time, your hearing should adjust back to normal.

Lately, I've been getting this weird chest pain right in the center every morning and it's making me really worried what could be going on?

So, a doctor pulled on my larynx about a month ago, and ever since, I've been a bit worried if that caused any kind of trauma. I didn't notice any physical symptoms right after, but a few days later, I started feeling some discomfort inside my neck. I'm also wondering if this clicking sensation I've been feeling was always there or if I'm just more aware of it now. When I turn my head to the right or left, there's this silent clicking on the right side of my larynx. Could this be something I should be concerned about?
It is possible that the manipulation of your larynx by the doctor could have caused some trauma or irritation. The clicking sensation you are feeling when turning your head could be related to this. I recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to help reduce any inflammation and discomfort. Additionally, you can try using a warm compress on your neck to help relax the muscles. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've had a cold with a cough for the past 10 days. I've been taking cough syrup, and it seemed to be getting better, but just yesterday, my left side of my face started hurting and I've been feeling really weak. Should I be worried about these new symptoms, or is this something that could still be connected to my cold? What should I do next?
The sudden onset of left-sided facial pain and weakness, following a 10-day cold and cough, could indicate a possible post-viral complication, such as trigeminal neuralgia, facial neuritis, or even a mild stroke; seek immediate medical attention from a primary care physician
