I'm feeling this odd needle-like pain on the left side of my throat. It's not like a regular sore throat, just barely noticeable. Should I be concerned about this or could it be something minor?

I'm really concerned because I used cotton buds to clean my ears, and now they feel blocked. I went to see a doctor, and instead of cleaning out the wax, they recommended a wax solvent. I've been using it for two days, but my ears still feel the same. Should I be worried about this, or is there something else I should be doing?

in two days the lodged wax would have got dissolved visit your docotor for its removal it will be cleared dont worry.

I've been dealing with this annoying tinnitus that just won't go away. I've tried Tinnex for about a week, but it didnt really help. Its been almost three months now, and both my ears keep on having this ringing sound. Sometimes, there's even a bit of pain. What should I do?

I've been dealing with this annoying ear blockage for the past couple of days and started using some clear wax ear drops to help out. Now, whenever I pull down my earlobe, I hear a pop and I can hear better, which is kind of weird but also a relief. Do you think I should keep using these ear drops, or is there another way I should try to clear things up? I'm just a bit concerned about whether this popping is normal and if I'm handling this correctly.
