I'm worried about my 10-year-old son because he has some wax built up in his ears. I've heard about using Clearwax ear drops, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Can you give me some advice on how to use them properly to clean his ears? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Instill two drops in each ear three times in a day,the wax would come out on its own,do not attempt to remove it.

I've got three swollen lymph nodes, two under my jaw and one near my groin. It all started with a sore throat, which happens often because I deal with chronic tonsil stones, and my tonsils are always kinda stretched. Should I be worried about these swollen nodes? What could be causing this?

That's a serious problem and needs definite attention visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with thick, sticky mucus in my nose and throat constantly, and now there's this weird cracking sound between my ear and nose. I've attached my CT scan do you think I should consider surgery right away or wait a few more months until the pandemic settles down? I'm not sure how urgent this is.

kindly share ct scan

I've been hearing this strange noise coming from the back of my head, just above my neck, mostly on the right side. It happens when I move my head upwards or try to lean back. Plus, I get this neck pain on the right side whenever I spend too much time looking down. I've had this long-standing sinusitis issue on the right side, and it's been a real troublemaker. My neck hurts, I get headaches on that side, and sometimes even throat issuesall these come and go at random. What could be going on with me?

This needs evaluation,visit ENT doctor for the same and appropriate management
