I've been having issues lately with my ears. After using ear drops, they feel blocked now, and it's got me worried. I've also been dealing with ear and throat itching and a heavy head for about 20 days. I've tried taking cetirizine, paracetamol, and an antibiotic, but nothing seems to be helping. What could be going on?

View allI've been dealing with this ear-blocking issue for the past few days. Every time I pull my ear down, I hear a sound like a "tup," and it seems like the blockage clears up, but then it just gets blocked again a few seconds later. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm having this uncomfortable feeling in my neck, and it's been going on for about a month now. I talked to a doctor, and he gave me some medicine. It seemed to help at first, but then the discomfort came back the very next day. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing it and how to get lasting relief. Can you give me some advice or suggestions?

my 7-year-old needs a tonsil surgery but I'm worried about safety and long-term effects is it really safe for kids that young also heard some kids get ear and head pain after the surgery how common is that
Tonsil surgery (tonsillectomy) in a 7-year-old is generally considered safe, but it's important to discuss any concerns with your child's doctor. While the procedure is common and has a good safety record, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of, including ear pain and headaches after surgery.
