I'm feeling really under the weather and have all the symptoms of strep throat, but my family is saying it's just a seasonal cold. I'm not so sure though. Could you help me figure out if it might actually be strep?

I'm experiencing this constant ringing in my left ear and everything sounds muffled compared to my right ear. The doctor mentioned that it might be due to wax buildup. I've tried using ocarb drops and now soliwax, but nothing seems to help. What drops would you recommend to clear the wax and help with the tinnitus? This is really affecting my wellbeing. What can I do?

I've got a situation with an enlarged submandibular gland that showed up as 11cm on the ultrasound. It's strange because there's no pain or swelling when I eat. I've been on Amoxy-Clav and Tibrolin tablets for about 12 days now, but there hasn't been any change. What could be going on, and should I be worried about this lack of improvement?

I've had small holes near my ears since I was a kid and never knew what they were. Recently I noticed that when I press near the holes, some fluid comes out. I read online that these might need surgery if infected - how can I tell if mine are infected or something serious? The fluid thing is making me a bit worried.

Those small holes near your ears sound like preauricular pits, which are usually harmless congenital features. If the area becomes red, swollen, painful, or if the fluid is thick, yellow, or has a bad smell, it may be infected and needs medical attention. If you experience recurrent infections or discomfort, surgery might be considered. I recommend seeing a doctor for an evaluation to be sure.
