I'm a bit worried because I was cleaning my ears and some cotton from the earbud got stuck in my right ear. I'm not sure how to remove it myself. Could you advise me on what to do? Or maybe suggest a nearby doctor I can visit to get it taken care of? I live in Palava City, Dombivili East, Thane, 421204.

Persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction can be challenging. Consider consulting an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Possible treatment options:
- Nasal decongestants or steroids to reduce nasal congestion
- Eustachian tube exercises or balloon dilation to improve tube function
- Hearing aids or assistive listening devices to address muffled hearing
- Surgical options, such as tympanostomy tubes, may be considered in severe cases
Relief is possible with proper diagnosis and treatment.

View allThe ENT doctor did a full face x-ray and said one side of my nostril bone is bent and blocking some space, leaving very little room on that side. They gave me 10 days of medicine but I'm worried will the bone go back to normal with just meds or will I need surgery? I feel weak because I can't get enough oxygen through that nostril, what should I do?
It's understandable to be worried about a bent nostril bone and difficulty breathing. It sounds like you may have a deviated septum. While the ENT doctor prescribed medication, it's unlikely the bone will straighten itself back to normal on its own, and you may need surgery. Your ENT doctor will be able to guide you best on your particular case. If you are experiencing significant difficulty breathing, you should consult your ENT doctor again

I'm having this issue where I start coughing when I talk. It usually kicks in after I've said a couple of sentences and it mainly happens in the evenings. I've also noticed it's kind of seasonal. It feels like my vocal cords are getting irritated, and I end up not being able to continue any discussion. If I stop talking for a while, it gets better, but then it starts all over again when I begin speaking. Any idea what's going on with me?
There might be some issue with your vocal cords visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.
