I've been feeling a strange moving sensation in my left ear for almost two weeks now, like an insect or something. There's no pain when it happens, but I saw an ENT doctor a few days ago. She checked my ear and said there's no insect, and my eardrums are fine. She diagnosed me with a dislocated jaw and gave me some Vitamin B Complex and pain meds. She mentioned something about the jaw joint needing repair. This all started after I cleaned my ears with cotton buds. Now, my left jaw feels weird, like a toothache, and I also have a small sore near my last teeth. Could this insect-like feeling in my ear be related to the jaw pain? And how do I get rid of this strange crawling sensation?

I'm experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like air is going through my right ear, but only when I'm at home in Bangalore. It's been happening for around 9 months, and recently I've started feeling dizzy, mostly in the evenings. It doesn't happen if I travel to other places, so I'm curious if this is something I should be worried about. What could be causing this?

I've been dealing with this strange sensation in my left ear. It all started a few days back when I had a cold and was blowing my nose a lot. At one point, after blowing my nose, it felt like some kind of air pressure built up in my left ear. Now that my cold is gone, it still feels like Im breathing through my left ear. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this?

I've been having some trouble with my nose while running; there's a sharp pain, and it just won't stop running. I heard it might be due to DNS. How much would treatment for this cost in Hyderabad?
