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?

My daughter keeps having streaks of blood in her mucus almost every morning. The ENT specialist mentioned that something might be stuck in her nose. Does that sound right? Could there be another reason for this bleeding? It happens so often, and I'm starting to get really concerned.
