I've been having a really bad pain in my left ear for a week now, and there's this buzzing noise that just won't go away. Plus, it's tough to hear with that ear. I'm wondering if it's an ear infection or something else? What should I be looking out for?

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?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I'm really worried because I've been having this weird sensation like there's a lump in my throat for the past six months, and it comes with shortness of breath, stiffness, and pain on the back left side. It seems to ease up a bit when I burp, which is strange. Could there be something in my throat that's making it hard to breathe?
