I've been feeling really uncomfortable in my throat for the past couple of days. It's like some food got stuck, and I've been coughing a lot, but it hasn't helped. Could you please provide some advice on what I should do?

Question

I'm in a bit of a situationI was using an earbud, and now some cotton is stuck in my ear. I'm heading to the hospital to get it taken out, but I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing. Is it painful when they remove cotton from the ear?

Question

I've been dealing with a sore throat that started a couple of months ago. I took antibiotics for a week, and it seemed to clear up. But theres this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side of my throat. After meals, tiny food particles and debris get trapped there, and I often have to gargle to get rid of them. There's no pain, fever, or cough, but I recently removed a tonsil stone myself. Should I be worried that this is something serious? Im concerned and would appreciate some advice. Oh, and the picture I took is inverted, where left means right and right means left.

Question

I'm really concerned about something and would appreciate your advice. I quit smoking two years ago, which felt great, but now I'm dealing with something else. Most of the time, my nose feels really congested. Occasionally, when I sniff and spit, I notice some blood in the mucus, even though I don't have a cough. Sometimes, when I'm trying to clear my nose manually, I also notice blood in the mucus. Is this normal, or could it be something serious that I should get checked out?
