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'm dealing with this annoying dryness in my throat and mouth every early morning around 4 or 5 am since November. I saw a doctor and had my blood sugar tested through a urine testit was normal. The meds helped for a week, but then the dryness came back. Also, I have this long-term nasal blockage since 2011 after a viral fever. I cant smell much unless my nasal passage clears up or during a cold. Plus, I catch a cold every month or two. I'm confused about who to see for this issue because online it seems like these symptoms could be throat infection, prediabetes, or sinus problems. Could you guide me on which specialist to consult and the right treatment to pursue?

I've been experiencing these strong vibrations in the middle of my back and sometimes there's pain near both my ears. It's weird because I can feel my heartbeat in my ears, especially when I'm lying on my side. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

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.
