I was using qtipsearbuds to clean my ear canals and might have gone in too deep because when I pulled it out, it was bloody and now my ear hurts. Could this mean I ruptured my eardrum? What should I do about it?

I'm currently taking Vertin 8 mg for decreased hearing in one ear and have been on it for over a week now. I've just been prescribed Dolo 650 and Aziwok 500 mg and was wondering if I can take all of these together at night after eating. I also take a half tablet of Nexito 5 mg in the morning. Is it safe to combine all these medications? Are there any interactions I should be worried about?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm struggling with nasal congestion and its making it kind of hard to breathe properly. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies that might help with this? Maybe something I can try out to ease the discomfort?
