I'm feeling really anxious because I went to the dentist for an emergency treatment today and now I've suddenly got this urge to cough. It feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this possibly be related to COVID? The dentist was super careful and followed all the protocols like wearing a face shield, sanitizing everything, using air purifiers, and taking my temperature. He even mentioned he hasnt seen any other patients in a month. Despite all this, I'm still worried. What should I do about these symptoms I'm experiencing?

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.
