I'm a bit worried about my right ear. It's been feeling blocked for almost three weeks now. There's no pain, but it keeps leaking this sticky yellow mucus, and sometimes it pumps out clear fluid too. Not sure what's going on. What could be causing this?

I've been experiencing this weird fluttering sound in my ear for the past two days, but it only happens when I use my earphones or talk on the phone. The strange part is that it's in the opposite ear from the one I'm using. What could this be? Should I be concerned?

This fluttering sound in your ear could be due to a condition called Tinnitus. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to clean your ears in case there is any blockage causing the sound. Additionally, you can take Tab. Betahistine to help with the symptoms. If the issue persists, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
