I was cleaning my ear with a QTip and think I went too far because it started bleeding. It hurts now, but I can still hear okay. Should I be worried, and what should I do about it?

Question

I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my neck just below the ear, and it's been happening for the past two weeks. Sometimes my throat hurts too, and it feels like there's something stuck in my left ear. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I'm experiencing something strange with my nose. There's this yellow runny liquid coming out, and it kind of looks like urine but it isn't the usual nasal discharge. I've just recently gotten over a cold about 23 days ago, so I'm not sure if it's related. It feels similar to when you have a nosebleed but without any blood. It's been happening for about a day now, just in small drips. I'm really confused and would appreciate some advice on what might be going on. Any thoughts?

Question

I've had my ears blocked for the past 4 days, and I think it might be due to a cold I had. Not completely sure, though. It sometimes feels like there's water or some fluid in there, and occasionally, when I sneeze, the blockage goes away for a few seconds, but then it comes back. There's a little pain too, which is why I've been taking oxalgin tablets and using drep ear drops. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different?
