I'm dealing with this constant itch and pain inside my ear, plus there's this ringing noise that just won't go away. It's been happening for about 23 days now. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Throat pain can be quite uncomfortable.

Before providing a prescription, consider:

Staying hydrated with warm fluids like tea or broth

Gargling with salt water

Using a humidifier

Avoiding spicy or acidic foods

For relief, you can try:

Pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen

Throat lozenges or sprays containing phenol or menthol

However, for a personalized prescription and proper diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor.

I'm really worried about my 7-month-old baby girl. She's been having some ear pain, and I'm not sure what to do. Should I give her otek ac or wikoryl, or do I need to use both? Would love some guidance on this!

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I was eating dinner tonight and ended up coughing with food still in my mouth. Now I feel like there might be a tiny piece of food stuck in my sinus area because it mildly burns, and I've been producing quite a lot of mucus. Should I just wait for it to clear up on its own, or do you think I should see a doctor?

That would go on its own, do salt water gargling twice a day,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I have a DNS issue with an overgrown septum and outer bone. My doctor recommended septoplasty first and then plastic surgery on the outer nose later, but I've heard about septorhinoplasty where both are done together. Is that really an option? Would it be better to combine them or do them separately?

Your doctor's recommendation to address the deviated nasal septum (DNS) with septoplasty first, followed by rhinoplasty (plastic surgery of the outer nose), is a common approach.
