I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. Whenever I swallow or drink water, it feels like something's lodged right in the middle. It's weird because I don't notice it while I'm eating, but afterwards, that sensation comes back. Also, I've noticed these small pink pimple-like bumps towards the back of my tongue. What's going on with me?

I recently got into a fight and ended up being slapped really hard, like twice or thrice on the left side of my face, near my ear and cheek, and close to my eye area. Right after, I had some bleeding inside my mouth, probably from biting down with my teeth. The next morning, I noticed a ringing in my ear, but there wasn't any pain. I'm struggling to hear as well out of that ear compared to the other one. There's also some swelling on my face. I'm guessing my hearing is around 50 to 60 percent, but it's just a rough estimate. Should I be worried about this? What do you think is going on with my ear and hearing?

Visit ENT doctor and get audiometry done to rule out any hearing impairement.

I was using a cotton ear bud and now the cotton part got stuck in my ear canal! The stick came out but the cotton's still in there and it's starting to hurt a little. Any idea on how I can safely get it out?
