I'm 27 years old, weigh 72kg, and my height is 174cm. Lately, I've been sneezing a lot in the mornings, probably because of the cold weather. I've also been feeling some heaviness in my head. When I blow my nose by pinching it shut, I hear this ticking sound near my nose. It even happens when I'm just doing normal activities. Does this sound like a sinus infection to you? Could it be because of the cold? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what's going on.

View allI'm 17 and recently had a check-up where the doctor diagnosed me with acute otitis media in my right ear, possibly due to my cold. I've been taking antibiotics like Natravox, using a nasal spray, and a tablet called Nasathera for the cold. The pain in my ear has gone away after taking painkillers, and my cold has cleared up too. But I'm still not hearing fully from my right earthere's this ringing sound. I dance as a hobby, and with a dance concert coming up soon, I'm wondering if it's safe to continue practicing or do any strenuous activities with this ear infection. Could this affect my recovery or hearing any further?

A thin fish bone got stuck in my throat three days ago, and I'm not sure if it's still there or if it came out. If it's still stuck, could it cause an infection? How can I safely remove it? I'm really worried about this.

I've had a lump next to my right ear tragus for about a year and it's been growing bigger lately. Sometimes it hurts too. Should I consider surgery or are there other options? What do you suggest I do about it?
