I'm really worried because for the past 8 months I've had this burning feeling in my throat. It always feels tight, like something's stuck in there. It's pretty uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this, and should I be concerned? What could be causing these sensations?

Water in the ear can be uncomfortable.

Since ear wax drops aren't providing relief, try:

  • Ear drying drops (e.g., Otoferm) to help evaporate water
  • Tilt your head to the side and gently pull on the outer ear to help water drain
  • Use a warm compress or dry towel to help relieve pain and fullness

If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an ENT specialist to rule out:

  • Ear infection
  • Eardrum damage
  • Blockage

Avoid using cotton swabs (Q-tips) to avoid pushing water further into the ear.

I'm really worried about this breathing problem I've been having for the past three months. Ive done a lung X-ray, which came out normal, and an ultrasound that showed I have PCOD. But now, for the last 10 days, I've also been dealing with acid reflux. I'm taking Pantocid tablets and sometimes Digene syrup, but the breathing issue is still there. I recently had an endoscopy and they found GERD and some ulcers in my food pipe. Could you suggest if there's any specific test I should consider to find out why I'm struggling so much with my breathing? Like maybe a lung test or anything else I should look into?
