I've accidentally ruptured my eardrum while using a q-tip and I've attached a photo for you to see. There's no pain but I do feel some pressure in my ear. Should I be worried about this? How does an injury like this heal?

View allI've just seen an ENT specialist who said everything is fine and there's nothing to worry about, but I can't help feeling anxious. Should I be concerned about anything, or is it really nothing to worry about?

I got hit pretty hard right across my head and jaw area by my partner on Friday night, and ever since, the spot has been really red, throbbing, and warm. The next day, I felt like I had cotton stuck in my ear. I tried blowing out air while holding my nose, but nothing seems to happen; no air coming out or any whistling noise from my ear. There's been no discharge, but the pain has been constant for two days now. Could this affect my hearing? I'm really worried about what could be causing all of this.
Yes there could be mini malltrauma to any part of the middle ear,better get evaluated with ENT doctor and audiometry test done as soon as possible.

I have nasal polyps and a fungal infection causing severe right-sided headaches and watery eyes multiple times a day. My doctor suggested surgery, but I'm worried about risks like losing my sense of smell or potential effects on my eyes and brain. Since it's still early, I want to try home remedies first specifically tea tree oil. How exactly should I use it for nasal polyps and fungus? I'm already doing steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. The polyps are only in my right nostril left side is fine.
To manage your nasal polyps and fungal infection with tea tree oil, create a diluted solution and apply it with a cotton swab, steam inhalation, or in a diffuser. Dilute 3-5 drops of tea tree oil in an ounce of carrier oil like olive or coconut oil, and gently dab the solution on the right nostril using a cotton swab 2-3 times a day. You can also add the diluted solution to your steam inhalation or an aromatherapy diffuser
