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?

I've got a situation with an enlarged submandibular gland that showed up as 11cm on the ultrasound. It's strange because there's no pain or swelling when I eat. I've been on Amoxy-Clav and Tibrolin tablets for about 12 days now, but there hasn't been any change. What could be going on, and should I be worried about this lack of improvement?
