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.

I've been dealing with this cough for 23 days now, and it's getting really frustrating. I'm coughing up this greenish-yellow mucus, and every single time I cough, I can't breathe and start gagging. On top of that, my nose is super congested, my tonsils are all inflamed, and I've got this really terrible ear pain. What could be going on here? Should I be concerned about this combination of symptoms?
