Question 1

I swallowed warm food too quickly and now my esophagus is really hurting every time I cough or try to eat or drink something. Is this normal, and should I be worried? What can I do to make it stop hurting?

Accepted Answer

I understand your concern and frustration.

The buzzing sound (tinnitus) and tragus pain after earwax removal could be due to:

- Ear canal irritation
- Middle ear muscle spasms
- Temporary nerve sensitivity

Consult your ENT doctor again to discuss:

- Further examination and treatment
- Tinnitus management options (e.g., sound therapy, counseling)
- Pain relief measures (e.g., topical anesthetics, warm compresses)

Remember, tinnitus can be managed, and symptoms may improve with time and proper care.
