I'm 26 years old and I've been feeling like my right ear is cold for the past few days. I'm not sure what to do about it. Is it okay to use a heating pad to warm up my ear? Could you please give me some advice?

View allI've been dealing with this post nasal drip for the past couple of years and it's really frustrating. There's this thick liquid that's always coming into my throat, and I have to spit it out because swallowing makes me feel like throwing up. I tried taking Lesuride OD75 for a month, like my gastroenterologist suggested, but it didn't really help. On top of that, I have these acidity and vomiting issues. Whenever I get a cold, my nose runs like crazy and the throat thing gets worse. The day after I catch a cold, I end up vomiting all day and struggle to eat anything. The stuff I vomit is so thick, it's hard to get it out. This used to happen just twice a year before, but in the last six months, it's happened four times. I really need some advice on what to do because it's becoming unbearable. What can I do about this?

I've been noticing that since yesterday, everything sounds kind of echoed. It's like someone is talking to me through a hollow pipe right next to my ear. And today, I've started having a mild headache. Could this be a stress-related issue because I had an intense week with non-stop phone calls using in-ear headphones for about 8 hours each day? Or should I be concerned about something else going on?
The continuous use of in-ear headphones for long hours can sometimes lead to such problems. I recommend taking a break from using headphones and giving your ears some rest. You can also try using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help with any ear congestion. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this issue with one side of my nose being blocked all the time, and it switches sides during the day. At night it gets hard to breathe, even through the side that's open. My ears feel blocked too, and my head is constantly heavy, but I'm not dealing with a cold. This has been going on for about four months, and I've already seen my family doctor and tried cetrizine and paracetamol, but nothing's helping. Who should I see about this? Also, is it okay if I use Otrivin daily for my nose problem?
Your persistent, alternating nasal congestion, ear blockage, and head heaviness, without cold symptoms, may indicate a possible underlying condition, such as a deviated septum, nasal polyps, or allergies; consider consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT)
