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.

I've been dealing with this scratchiness in my throat, almost like there's something stuck there, and it doesnt seem to go away. Hot water provides temporary relief, but the issue keeps coming back after a while. It's been ongoing for about three months, and I've tried medications like ZIFI AF, Citirizine, and Calpol for 10 days. There were moments when the meds helped, but the problem keeps resurfacing. What do you suggest I do next?
