I'm having a really hard time hearing because my ear is blocked with wax. I've never really used cotton buds or pins to clean my ears since I was a kid, but now I feel like I might need to. I'm really worried about damaging my eardrums, though. Is there another way to get rid of the wax without using buds or pins? I'd really appreciate any advice on what I can do.

I've been dealing with sinus issues for almost 25 years, and it seems to get worse whenever the climate changes. I've been using Nosikind drops for my nose, which helps a bit but not completely. It usually starts with a scratchy throat, and by the next day, I have a runny nose, body aches, and sometimes a fever. I've tried so many medications but they only seem to work for a short time before my symptoms come back. What else can I do to manage these symptoms better?

I'm noticing a whooshing sound in my right ear that's in sync with my heartbeat. It seems to get louder whenever I run or climb stairs. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
Consider a second opinion from another ENT specialist or a maxillofacial surgeon. Discuss: 1. Repeat imaging tests (MRIultrasound) to monitor gland size. 2. Salivary gland function tests (e.g., salivary flow rate). 3. Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to rule out underlying conditions. Explore treatment options, such as: 1. Medications to reduce gland size. 2. Surgical interventions (e.g., parotidectomy). 3. Lifestyle modifications (e.g., dietary changes, stress management).
