I'm worried because I was using an earbud to clean my ear, and some of the cotton got stuck inside. I managed to pull some of it out with tweezers, but not all of it. Then I tried putting a couple of drops of Soliwax in my ear. Will this help, or should I be doing something else to ensure my ear is okay?

Using an earbud to clean your ears can push earwax deeper, and leaving cotton behind can cause irritation; attempting to remove the cotton with a plucker can also cause damage; applying Soliwax ear drops may help dissolve the remaining wax, but to ensure relief and avoid further complications, consult an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and safe earwax removal.

View allI've been having a nosebleed for the past two days, and it's starting to freak me out. On top of that, I'm having trouble breathing, and I've got this constant headache. I'm not sure what's going on and could really use some advice on what steps I should take or what could be causing this. Could you help me figure it out?
Nosebleeds lasting for two days, along with breathing difficulties and headaches, may indicate a more serious underlying issue. It is important to address these symptoms promptly. You can try using over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to help constrict blood vessels in the nose and stop the bleeding. For the headache, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed on the package. However, it is crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the cause of these symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.
