I've been having a ringing sound in my ear ever since my ENT doctor removed some earwax. It's been about 1.5 months now, and it happens for around 5 hours a day, but not all at once. I'm starting to get worried. What should I do about it?

Tinnitus can be distressing!
To alleviate the whistle-type sound and improve sleep:
Immediate Relief
- White noise: Use a machine, fan, or phone app to mask the sound.
- Relaxation techniques: Try meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to reduce stress.
Medical Consultation
- ENT specialist: Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist for a thorough evaluation.
- Hearing test: Get a hearing test to rule out underlying hearing issues.
Lifestyle Changes
- Avoid loud noises: Protect your hearing by avoiding loud environments.
- Manage stress: Engage in stress-reducing activities to help cope with tinnitus.
- Establish sleep routine: Develop a consistent sleep schedule and create a relaxing sleep environment.

View allI had to have some teeth removed a few months back, and I've been having a rough time since. One of the teeth was near the back on the upper part, and ever since then, I've noticed this small hole where I can suck and push air through. Now I'm dealing with migraines almost daily and this awful smell coming from one nostril. There's also a lot of smelly mucus, and it seems to be running down the back of my throat, making me blow my nose like 25 times a day. Could this all be related to getting my teeth removed, and what should I do about it?
Without any further delay visit Dentist for appropriate management.

I'm noticing some vertical purple veins next to my tonsils and the back of my throat looks inflamed. There's also a mild pain when I swallow. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that can resolve on its own?
You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery

I'm experiencing some pain and swelling right in front of my tragus, kind of towards my face. I've tried using an ear wax and infection solution, but it's not helping. Also, I'm having these small feverish spells. What could this be, and what should I do?
Could indicate an infection in the ear or surrounding area. I recommend you use an antibiotic ear drop like Ciprodex (ciprofloxacindexamethasone) to help with the infection. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen for pain and fever relief. However, it is important to see a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
