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 noticing a whooshing sound in my right ear that's in sync with my heartbeat. It seems to get louder whenever I run or climb stairs. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
Consider a second opinion from another ENT specialist or a maxillofacial surgeon. Discuss: 1. Repeat imaging tests (MRIultrasound) to monitor gland size. 2. Salivary gland function tests (e.g., salivary flow rate). 3. Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to rule out underlying conditions. Explore treatment options, such as: 1. Medications to reduce gland size. 2. Surgical interventions (e.g., parotidectomy). 3. Lifestyle modifications (e.g., dietary changes, stress management).
