I've been having a sore throat on and off for the past few days, and now one of my ears hurts whenever I swallow. It's like something's popping in there when I swallow. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

You can practice Valsalva for a better result, if its becoming worse visit ENT docotor for appropriate management.

I've got this really uncomfortable feeling like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's making it hard to breathe. It's like a plum or something just won't budge. Can you recommend any medicine or treatment to help clear it out of my throat or lungs? It's really bothersome and I'm a bit worried about it.

I've been dealing with this Tinnitus in my left ear for about two years now and it seems to be getting worse. I came across a tablet called Tinnicar and I'm wondering if it has any side effects. I'm really curious to know if it might help or if there are things I should be careful about. What do you think?

I've been dealing with this tinnitus for about 9-10 months now. The first doctor I saw said my left ear looked a bit dull and gave me a decongestant, but that didn't really help. Then another ENT mentioned something about my ear being retracted or RTM. Since then, I've seen multiple doctors and have been on multivitamins and ginkgo. I've got a few questions though. Can RTM stick around for nearly a year, and if it does, could this be the reason for ear pain when I gently use earbuds? Also, when I do the Valsalva maneuver in the morning, I sometimes feel something watery in my ear. This only happens the first time when I wake up. Besides taking all these meds, are there other ways to deal with it? It's hard to sleep with this constant noise, kinda like the sound an old TV makes, and it's there all the time, fluctuating like a stream. Is using warm oil in my ear a good idea? Could an infection be causing all this? I'm really stressed out by all this.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
