Question 1

I've been having a ringing sound in my ear ever since my ENT doctor removed some earwax. It's been about 1.5 months now, and it happens for around 5 hours a day, but not all at once. I'm starting to get worried. What should I do about it?

Question 2

My 4-year-old was told he needs adenoid and tonsil removal plus grommets for ear fluid. Are there other options we could try before surgery? I'm worried about putting him through all that and wondering if there's a less invasive approach

Question 3

I'm worried about my hearing because I was using a qtip and then my hearing got muffled. I thought I just pushed the wax in further so I didn't really think much of it at first. But now it's been 3 days and my hearing is still muffled. I went to the pharmacy and told the pharmacist about it, and he gave me Dewax to try. I put 3 drops in my ear before bed like he suggested, but after that, I completely stopped hearing from that ear. It's been a full day since I used the drops and I still can't hear. Is this normal or should I be concerned and see a doctor?
