I've been dealing with this annoying ear blockage for the past couple of days and started using some clear wax ear drops to help out. Now, whenever I pull down my earlobe, I hear a pop and I can hear better, which is kind of weird but also a relief. Do you think I should keep using these ear drops, or is there another way I should try to clear things up? I'm just a bit concerned about whether this popping is normal and if I'm handling this correctly.

My mom has two vocal cord nodules and her voice isn't clear. An ENT specialist in Moradabad is recommending surgery, but I'm wondering if there's any way to treat this without going for an operation. Are there other options we can try first?

Yes, there are definitely non-surgical options to try before considering surgery for vocal cord nodules. Voice therapy, vocal rest, and sometimes medications can be effective in managing these nodules and improving voice quality.

I've been having some trouble with my nostrils. One of them is always blocked while the other one opens up, and then it sometimes switches. It's making it really hard to breathe through both nostrils at the same time, and it's making me feel really lazy. I'm worried it might be a sign of something more serious or could turn into a major problem. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
