I'm having this weird feeling like my left ear is blocked, but when I check theres nothing inside. It's really bothering me and there's pain whenever I sneeze, yawn, or cough. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

I'm really concerned because I used cotton buds to clean my ears, and now they feel blocked. I went to see a doctor, and instead of cleaning out the wax, they recommended a wax solvent. I've been using it for two days, but my ears still feel the same. Should I be worried about this, or is there something else I should be doing?

in two days the lodged wax would have got dissolved visit your docotor for its removal it will be cleared dont worry.

I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone last night. It didn't hurt going down, but I'm just a bit worried if it might cause me any trouble later on. I had some hot water afterward. Should I be concerned about this?

Usually it will be passed out in your faeces and doesnt cause any problem,no need to worry you can forget about that.
