I've been dealing with a mucus problem for the past 15 days. It only happens in the morning, and it's quite a heavy flow. The mucus is white. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm wondering if it's okay to keep inhaling steam for like, several months, doing it morning and evening for about 10 minutes each time. I've been doing this since October because my ENT doctor suggested it for a sore throat and blocked nose, along with some meds. Sometimes I still wake up with a blocked nose, so I've continued with the steam. And honestly, I also think it might help with things considering the pandemic stuff, even though I'm all good now after having COVID during the 2nd wave. Is it safe to keep doing this for a really long time, say 6 to 7 months?

Don't steam longer than 10 to 15 minutes for each session. However, you can repeat steam inhalation two or three times per day if you're still having symptoms.

I'm experiencing this constant ringing in my left ear and everything sounds muffled compared to my right ear. The doctor mentioned that it might be due to wax buildup. I've tried using ocarb drops and now soliwax, but nothing seems to help. What drops would you recommend to clear the wax and help with the tinnitus? This is really affecting my wellbeing. What can I do?
