I've been dealing with otitis media for about a week now and have been taking Augmentin 625 Duo and Crocin for it. There was this wheatish discharge from my ear, then some watery stuff came out, and that made the fullness in my ear go away for a bit. But now, after a week, I'm feeling that fullness again in the same ear. I'm still on Augmentin and doing some steam inhalation. So, I'm wondering how often should I be doing the steam inhalation thing and how long should each session be? Also, how long does it usually take to completely recover from otitis media? And do you have any tips on how I can prevent it from coming back?

View allIs there any way to fix a deviated septum without surgery? My breathing is really bad through one nostril and I'm wondering if exercises or massages could help
While exercises or massage can't correct a deviated septum, they may help manage symptoms like nasal congestion and make breathing easier. Surgery (septoplasty) is the only definitive treatment for a deviated septum

I've been having this weird sensation, like something's crawling in my right ear, but every time I look, I can't find anything. When I use earphones, it feels kinda hollow in that ear, and I've been getting these intense headaches sometimes too. The eye doctor mentioned it might be from dry eyes after my LASIK. Now, I'm feeling some slight pain in my right ear and a bit of numbness. What do you think could be going on, and should I be worried?

Sure, I've noticed that every time I kiss my partner for more than five minutes, I end up with a sore throat. It's been happening for the last three months, and I'm not sure why. I know I'm prone to tonsil infections - I get them easily from things like outside food, cold drinks, or even lack of sleep. But right now, my main worry is this recurring sore throat after kissing, which hits me within 30 to 60 minutes and sticks around for 4 to 5 days, or sometimes longer. It's been consistent since I first kissed her about three or four months ago. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to prevent it?
Consider getting tested for streptococcal infections or other bacterialviral causes, and discuss your recurring sore throat issues with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician, who may recommend preventive measures such as gargling with salt water, using a humidifier, or taking immune-boosting supplements, and also consider discussing your concerns with your partner, as it's possible that you may be transmitting infections back and forth, and taking steps to maintain good oral hygiene and safe kissing practices.
