I've been having this issue where my left ear feels blocked every morning, and I can only hear faintly until it gradually clears up throughout the day. It's been happening for about 20-25 days now. Do you have any suggestions for wax removal drops that could help?

You can try using Debrox earwax removal drops. Use 5-10 drops in the affected ear, and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to allow the drops to work. You can do this twice a day for up to 4 days to help soften and remove the earwax. If the symptoms persist, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

View allI'm really curious about how nasal congestion might impact oxygen levels in the body. Is it possible that having a stuffy nose could actually reduce how much oxygen my body is getting? I'm a bit worried about this and would love to understand it better.
Yes, nasal congestion can decrease oxygen saturation levels, as it reduces airflow through the nasal passages, leading to reduced oxygen intake, which can cause a drop in oxygen saturation levels, especially in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or sleep apnea.

I've had these white pimples or spots on the back wall of my throat for a week now, and there's no pain. Initially, I felt a mild tingling when eating dry or condensed foods, but that's gone awayjust the spots remain. I saw an ENT and was prescribed Sompraz L, Sucrale O, and montelukast. It's been a week of medication, and the spots are still there without any pain. I don't smoke or drink alcohol. Should I get any additional tests, or will this clear up on its own? How many more days should I wait? I've attached a photo for reference.

I'm dealing with a blocked right ear due to wax buildup and I'm not sure what to do. I've got these small packets of Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9 with me, but I'm unsure if they're safe to use as ear drops for this. The label says it's a sterile isotonic solution of sodium chloride in water for injections, with a pH of 4.5 to 7.0 and no preservatives. Is it okay to use this on my ear, or should I look for something else?
Yes youcan use it no problem
