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 allI'm really anxious because I woke up yesterday and tried to clear my throat and when I spit, there was some blood in it. I saw two dark red blobs of blood stuck in the back of my throat when I looked in the mirror. I didn't notice any more blood throughout the day, but then in the evening, another blob was there in my throat and it didn't come out. I'm worriedcould be something serious? Also, my nose is often dry, and sometimes when I clean it, blood comes out. I have burping and acidity problems too. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me understand this?

my brother has a small hole in his left ear along with sinus issues the doctor recommended sinus surgery first and mentioned his ear problem might improve too can you tell me the average cost of sinus surgery and whether insurance usually covers it
I don't think undergoing sinus surgery is going to cure your brothers ear problem which is most of the times permanent. sometimes it may reduce number of infective episodes in ear. but hole in the ear drum if long standing won't close unless operated. endoscopic sinus surgery cost depends on the surgeon who is operating and centre where surgery is done. cost may range from 10k to 50k.

I've been dealing with recurrent sinusitis for a year now, with nasal blockage and fever, but it's gotten worse over the last 4 months. I wake up with snoring, a blocked nose, and yellow discharge, plus constant low-grade fever. I had nose surgery 3 years ago for a bone growth causing obstruction, which helped a little back then. I've tried antibiotics, steroids, homeopathy, and ayurveda, but nothing has fully fixed it. A recent X-ray showed bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy and maxillary sinusitis. What's the best solution to stop the blockages and prevent this from coming back?
Given the persistence and worsening of your sinusitis symptoms, including snoring, nasal blockage, yellow discharge, and low-grade fever, it's crucial to seek medical attention. A doctor or ENT specialist can properly diagnose the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment
