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've been experiencing some pretty severe pain in my throat every time I take a deep breath. This started after I accidentally burnt my throat while smoking. Do you have any suggestions or prescriptions that might help with this?

severe throat pain when taking a deep breath, especially after a burn injury from smoking, may indicate a possible throat infection, inflammation, or scar tissue formation; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist
