I'm really struggling with a bad cold and my nose is completely blocked. Luckily, I don't have a fever right now. I currently have some crocin cold and flu tablets, but I recently heard that they might be banned by the government. Is it still safe for me to take them? I don't have any other medication on hand.

I've been dealing with this ear-blocking issue for the past few days. Every time I pull my ear down, I hear a sound like a "tup," and it seems like the blockage clears up, but then it just gets blocked again a few seconds later. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I've had two Tympanoplasty surgeries, one in 2011 that didn't work out and then another in 2014 after having sinus surgery and surgery for a deviated nasal septum. The doctor said back then that I shouldnt swim for the rest of my life because of the ear infections. Its been a few years now and I'm wondering if its still risky to swim or if things might have changed with my ear health?
It is important to follow the advice of your doctor after Tympanoplasty, especially if there have been complications such as infections in the past. Swimming can introduce water into the ear canal, which may increase the risk of infection or damage to the eardrum. To protect your ear health, it is advisable to avoid swimming or to use ear protection such as earplugs while swimming.
