I've been clearing my throat for about half an hour pretty rigorously, and now I've noticed a small spot of blood in my spit. There aren't any other issues, but it's got me a bit concerned. Could this be a problem?

I've been dealing with blocked ears and sharp shooting pain for about a month now. There have been times I hear sounds in my ear too. Steaming has helped open up my left ear, but my right ear still feels blocked and painful sometimes. I tried using soliwax, but it just made my ears ring. My hearing seems fine, though. Any suggestions on what I should do next? I'm really looking for some guidance.

Practice valsalva manoeuvre it would resolve,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

My mom has a hole in her eardrum and it's causing a lot of issues. The ENT doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there's any way to heal a ruptured eardrum without going through surgery

Yes, many ruptured eardrums heal on their own without surgery. If the hole is small, it may heal within a few weeks. Even if it doesn't heal on its own, there are other options like patching or ear drop therapy before considering surgery.
