I'm dealing with ear wax buildup and recently bought some Clearwater ear drops. I'm wondering, how many days should I be using these drops before considering a visit to the doctor to get my ears cleared out? I'm a bit anxious because I don't want to overuse the drops or postpone the doctor's appointment if it's necessary. Any advice on this?

-You can use Clearwater ear drops for 3-5 days to soften the ear wax before visiting a doctor. If there's no improvement, or if you experience discomfort, it's best to see a doctor for safe removal.

So, I was cleaning my ear with a Q-tip and noticed a bit of blood on it. It hurt a little too. Should I be worried about this and consider seeing a specialist?

I'm kind of worried about my recent neck x-ray. It showed enlarged adenoids, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be concerned about? I don't really have any symptoms, but I do feel like there's something swollen in my neck. Does this sound like something serious?

ince you are not currently experiencing significant symptoms, it is likely that the enlarged adenoids are not a cause for immediate concern. However, it is still a good idea to discuss your X-ray results with your doctor for further evaluation. They can help determine if any follow-up is needed or if simple measures can manage the condition effectively.

I've had a chest X-ray and an endoscopy of my throat, and everything seemed okay. The doctor performed a nose endoscopy and cauterized it, and it didn't bleed for four days. But now, I'm seeing a few drops of fresh blood in my spit only in the mornings. The doctor mentioned this could be due to dryness in my nose and might take around 30 days to heal. What do you think about this? Is there anything else I should be doing, or any other reasons this might be happening?

Yes it takes time to heal follow your doctor advice.
