I'm really worried because I got a cotton wool bud stuck in my ear. The doctor couldnt get it out since its so close to my eardrum, and now Im just waiting for the hospital to contact me for an appointment. But now I've come down with a sore throat and a headache. Could these symptoms be because my ear is blocked?

Having a sore throat and headache is unlikely to directly cause your ear to be blocked by the cotton wool bud. However, it is possible that the blocked ear, along with the discomfort and stress associated with it, could be contributing to your sore throat and headache. It is important to address the blocked ear as soon as possible to prevent any further complications. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication such as paracetamol for your headache and sore throat.

View allI'm a bit worried because I've had a bad cold for several days, but now my sore throat has gotten really bothersome. It started out like a regular sore throat, but then two days ago I woke up and spat out mucus that had half mucus and half blood in it, which freaked me out a bit. I remember having a tough crusted pizza before it started, thinking maybe that had something to do with it. Now today, I've been spitting up a lot of mucus and noticed tiny amounts of blood too. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like air is going through my right ear, but only when I'm at home in Bangalore. It's been happening for around 9 months, and recently I've started feeling dizzy, mostly in the evenings. It doesn't happen if I travel to other places, so I'm curious if this is something I should be worried about. What could be causing this?

I'm kind of worried because I had a cold and in a rush, I accidentally put Iodex in my nose. I quickly realized it was a mistake and washed it out with soap and water, but then my nose started bleeding a bit. Is this a serious issue, or should I be okay since the bleeding stopped quickly?
