I'm having trouble hearing in my left ear. It gets better when I pull my earlobe, but as soon as I let go, I can't hear even the quietest sounds. What could be going on with my ear?

I've got a fish bone stuck in my throat, and I've tried a few home remedies, but nothing's working. There's no pain, but could you suggest some medicine or something to help get rid of it?

If a fish bone is stuck in your throat, try to remain calm and avoid attempting to dislodge it with sharp objects; instead, consider visiting an ENT specialist

I'm really worried because after using a Q-tip, my ear got totally clogged and I can barely hear anything now. I tried putting Debrox in on the same day but it didn't help. I even went to Urgent Care and the doctor tried flushing my ear, but still no improvement. Now I need to see an ENT. Is there anything they can do? Can you tell me if there's a chance the hearing loss might not be permanent? I'm not in any pain though.

Visit ENT docotor for evaluation and get audiometry test for any hearing impairement.

I've been experiencing bitterness in my saliva for the past two days. It was really noticeable this morning before I brushed my teeth. What could be causing this weird taste?

That could be due to alterations in taste,it's not that your saliva is bitter it's your taste sensation,no need to worry take Bvon tablet for a week and consume balanced diet,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
