I'm a bit worried because I had my earwax removed by an ENT and they used a sharp tool. After that, they inserted this pipe-like instrument, and it made this really loud noise in my ear. It's been about 25 days now, and there's still some pain in my ear, but it's not super severe. I'm just concerned that maybe this pipe thing hurt my eardrum. So, if the pipe did hit my eardrum, would there have been immediate, intense pain? And what are the signs of having a hole in your eardrum?

View allI'm dealing with something really concerning and would love some advice. Whenever I get super stressed, like genuinely overwhelmed to the point of crying, my throat and tonsils start swelling up. It's like I'm right on the brink of an infection, and within a few days, I'm usually stuck going to the hospital for antibiotics. It just becomes so difficult to breathe, and the swelling never seems to subside, no matter how much I try to rest. It really feels almost exactly like strep throat, but it only happens after really stressful or traumatic events. What can I do to prevent this from happening?
Tonsils do not get increased in size usually because of stress. As per ur description of ur condition in your age is because of chronic tonsilitis. A short course of antibiotics will help the acute exacerbation, but Tonsillectomy would be the final answer to end this repeated infections.

Hey, I'm a med student and lately, I've been hearing this sound in my ear. I think it might be pulsatile tinnitus. It all started like 34 hours ago after I finished my bath. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by various factors such as increased blood flow in the blood vessels near the ear. In your case, since it started after taking a bath, it could be related to changes in blood flow or pressure. I recommend you to try using a white noise machine to help mask the sound. Additionally, you can take Ginkgo Biloba supplement, 120 mg twice daily, to potentially improve blood circulation and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
