I'm feeling this weird vacuum sensation in my left ear, and it's like my hearing's kinda off on that side. I tried using an earbud to see if there's anything blocking it, but there was nothing. I even put some warm oil in there, hoping it would help, but it's still not getting better. What could be going on?

I've been dealing with this cough for 34 days now and it's getting really frustrating. On top of that, whenever I move my tongue or yawn, I get this strange pain in my tongue and ear. And when the earache gets really bad, it kind of feels like there's air trapped in my ears. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

I'm having this strange issue where onions and garlic smell really bad and different to me, and it's making it pretty much impossible to eat anything that has them. It's not the usual onion or garlic scent, but something really off-putting and irritating. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I really want to figure it out and get better. Any ideas on what might be causing this, or how I can manage it?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
