I've been chewing tobacco for the past 2 years but stopped completely now. My mouth barely opens beyond 2.5 cm and I'm worried it might be oral submucous fibrosis. Really scared of surgery are there any medications that can help improve this?

I've been having this issue where my left ear feels blocked every morning, and I can only hear faintly until it gradually clears up throughout the day. It's been happening for about 20-25 days now. Do you have any suggestions for wax removal drops that could help?
You can try using Debrox earwax removal drops. Use 5-10 drops in the affected ear, and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to allow the drops to work. You can do this twice a day for up to 4 days to help soften and remove the earwax. If the symptoms persist, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
