I've been dealing with this ear-blocking issue for the past few days. Every time I pull my ear down, I hear a sound like a "tup," and it seems like the blockage clears up, but then it just gets blocked again a few seconds later. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

View allI'm dealing with a preauricular sinus for a few days now and I'm already taking medication for it. I've been really wondering if it's okay to eat chicken and other non-veg foods while I'm dealing with this. Could it affect my condition in any way?
Yes you can consume no need to worry.

I'm a bit worried because during dinner I think a piece of food might've gone down my windpipe. I didn't have a choking fit or anything, but I did feel like at some point the food left my windpipe. Now it's got me wondering because I still feel like there's something stuck in my throat. Breathing and talking are fine, but I keep coughing since it feels like something's in there. Is it possible I might've just coughed it up and swallowed it, and my throat's just irritated?
Yes you are right,that coul be because of irritation nothing else,because windpipe cannot accomodate anything other than air,hence no need to worry,consume warm foods untill you feel better.

My doctor said I might need surgery for a hole in my eardrum. How do they usually do this procedure? Are there any medications that can help instead of surgery? I'm a bit worried about what to expect.
If a hole in your eardrum (ruptured eardrum) doesn't heal on its own, surgery might be needed to repair it. The most common surgical procedure is called tympanoplasty or myringoplasty, where a patch of tissue is used to cover the hole. While some cases heal without treatment, surgery is often required if the eardrum doesn't heal within a few months or if complications like infection or hearing loss occur
