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?

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to keep inhaling steam for like, several months, doing it morning and evening for about 10 minutes each time. I've been doing this since October because my ENT doctor suggested it for a sore throat and blocked nose, along with some meds. Sometimes I still wake up with a blocked nose, so I've continued with the steam. And honestly, I also think it might help with things considering the pandemic stuff, even though I'm all good now after having COVID during the 2nd wave. Is it safe to keep doing this for a really long time, say 6 to 7 months?
Don't steam longer than 10 to 15 minutes for each session. However, you can repeat steam inhalation two or three times per day if you're still having symptoms.

I'm having a lot of trouble with persistent pain on one side of my throat, and it's affecting my ear, neck, and face. My eye also feels irritated. I've been dealing with this for a long time, even though I had a septoplasty about a year ago. The right side of my throat seems constantly infected, and it's making it hard for me to swallow and eat things like sour or oily foods. This issue also acts up when I'm outside. It's really making life difficult for me. What could be going on, and what should I do?
Given the complexity and persistence of your symptoms, its important to consult with an ENT specialist, as they can evaluate the full range of possible causes, from chronic infections to sinusitis or TMJ disorders. In addition to medical treatments, lifestyle adjustments and stress management can help you cope with the discomfort.

I've been feeling really uncomfortable in my throat for the past couple of days. It's like some food got stuck, and I've been coughing a lot, but it hasn't helped. Could you please provide some advice on what I should do?
