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.

I'm really worried because I was eating lunch and accidentally swallowed a chicken bone without noticing. I think it was about an inch long. At first, it got stuck and caused a lot of pain in my throat, so I quickly drank some water. But now I still feel pain when I drink. Is this something dangerous or serious? What should I do?

Yes , do not neglect, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
