I'm in a bit of a situationI was using an earbud, and now some cotton is stuck in my ear. I'm heading to the hospital to get it taken out, but I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing. Is it painful when they remove cotton from the ear?

View allI've been having this weird sensation like there's something stuck in my throat for the past few days. There's a sharp pain whenever I swallow, which is pretty uncomfortable even though I can still do everything else fine. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if there's anything I can do to make it go away. Any advice?
you may be experiencing symptoms of esophageal irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter omeprazole. Additionally, you can try gargling with warm salt water and staying well-hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

What should I do about the tissue stuck in my nostril from a nosebleed? Its not causing any breathing issues, and it doesnt hurt, but it's still stuck up there. Is it safe to leave it until morning?
It sounds like you have a foreign object (tissue paper) stuck in your nose. It is important to remove it to avoid any potential complications. You can try to gently blow your nose to see if that helps dislodge the tissue. If that doesn't work, you should seek medical help to have it safely removed. Leaving it in overnight is not recommended as it can lead to irritation or infection. You can use over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray to help reduce swelling and make it easier to remove the tissue.

I'm experiencing what I think might be acid reflux, and I've been noticing some blood mixed in my saliva but only in the mornings, and it's worrying me a bit. I'm not coughing at all, but my throat's been feeling sore all day, and there's this constant salty taste in my mouth. Also, now and then I cough up some yellowish mucus. What could be going on, and what should I do about it?
That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.
