I'm dealing with a blocked ear and tried using soliwax for four days. Instead of getting better, it feels like it's more blocked. How can I get the wax out? Any advice would be really appreciated.

It seems like the earwax is impacted and not coming out with the use of Soliwax. You can try using Debrox ear drops to soften the wax. Put 5 to 10 drops in the affected ear and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to let the drops penetrate. You can then rinse your ear gently with warm water using a bulb syringe to help remove the softened wax. If the blockage persists, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've had this throat infection for a few days now, and it's just not going away. It started with pain and soreness, and I took oflox200 for three days, which helped at first. But then, only a few days later, the symptoms came back even worse. This time, I've been on Azithromycin 250 mg, Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, and Levocetirizine for three days, but the pain is still there. I did feel a little better on the first day, but the soreness and pain are back, especially when I swallow. Theres only one day of this course left, and I'm worried because theres no real improvement. Can you suggest another antibiotic that might actually work for me?
Krishna, considering your persistent throat infection symptoms despite completing two antibiotic courses, it's essential to revisit your diagnosis and treatment plan; consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out other underlying conditions, such as tonsillitis, strep throat, or a viral infection; they may prescribe alternative antibiotics like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate, Clindamycin, or Cefpodoxime, or order further tests like a throat culture or rapid strep test to guide treatment; in addition, maintain good hydration, gargle with salt water, and use throat lozenges to help soothe your throat

I'm really worried about my mom. She has a peanut caught in her throat. It's been almost 4 hours now. She's able to breathe fine, but swallowing anything is making her really uncomfortable. What should we do? Should we be seeing someone or is there something we can try doing at home to help her out?
It sounds like your mother may have a foreign body sensation in her throat due to the peanut. I recommend she take 1-2 tablespoons of liquid antacid to help coat the throat and reduce discomfort. Additionally, she can try eating a small piece of banana or bread to help push the peanut down. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, she should seek medical attention immediately.

How successful is DNS nose surgery and what are the risks? Can a deviated nasal septum be fixed without surgery or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about complications and wondering if there are non-surgical treatments that actually work
