I've been dealing with a blocked right ear for about two years now, and despite checking it out several times, no one can say what's wrong. Lately, I've also had this feeling of mucus at the back of my throat that I can't seem to cough up. It's really affecting my daily life because whenever I talk, it feels like there's an echo of my own voice in my head. What could be causing this and how can I make it go away?

I'm having this constant pain in my ear, like right on that little flap part, the tragus. It really hurts, especially when I press on it. I'm worried and not sure what's causing it. What could be going on with my ear?

It sounds like you're experiencing pain in your tragus, which could be due to an infection, inflammation, or even pressure on the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like an ear infection or cartilage irritation.

My 7-year-old son is a mouth breather but doesn't have any infections. He didn't used to get colds or coughs often, but now it's happening more frequently. We've tried nasal sprays like physiomer, but he still breathes through his mouth. Should we consider surgery or wait for his adenoids to shrink on their own? Could this mouth breathing affect his physical or mental growth?

Breathing problem can be emergency... Should visit any nearby paeditric hospital as early as possible

I was on a flight about three weeks ago and had a cold at the time. During the descent, I felt intense pressure in my right ear and it started hurting a lot. I took painkillers for a couple of days and, thankfully, the pain went away, but the pressure hasn't gotten back to normal since. I've tried blowing out or sucking in after pinching my nose, but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried about it. Could you offer some advice on what I should do next?
