I'm having an issue where my ear gets blocked every time I turn on the AC at night. I'm thinking about using cotton plugs to prevent this blockage temporarily. What could be causing this problem and is using cotton plugs a good idea? Would love some advice on how to deal with this.

View allI've been dealing with a throat infection for like 45 days now, and I had shivering on that very first day. Ever since then, I've had a 102 fever constantly. I've tried medications like Combiflam and Ronemox 500. The fever's finally calming down, but my throat is still really bothering me, especially when I swallow anything. It's pretty painful. Any idea what's going on or what else I can do?

I've been dealing with polypoidal thickening in my maxillary sinuses for about 4 months now. There's this constant tightness behind my left eye, cheek, and ears, along with some stiffness in the left side of my neck and headaches on the left side of my head. I'm really concerned about whether this could be something serious or life-threatening. Any insights?
Based on your symptoms and MRI findings, it seems like you are experiencing symptoms related to sinusitis. To help reduce the inflammation and relieve your symptoms, you can try using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache relief. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your sinus condition.

I was using qtipsearbuds to clean my ear canals and might have gone in too deep because when I pulled it out, it was bloody and now my ear hurts. Could this mean I ruptured my eardrum? What should I do about it?
