I've been noticing something weird every morning when I get up. After I wash my face with hot water, I notice something like coldness coming from my throat, and it's been happening for months. Plus, whenever I eat something cold or get exposed to cold weather, my throat gets all uncomfortable, like I'm going to catch a cold. Is there some special test I should look into to figure out what's going on?

I'm experiencing some popping and crackling sounds in my ears, especially when I swallow. It's mostly happening on the left side, but occasionally on the right too. I've also noticed some pain below my ear. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this, and do I need to see a specialist?

No,it's not possible for an insect to settle down there,the noise could be due to fluid movement which is due to ear effusion, practice valsalva, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I'm just a little concerned because while playing with my daughter, her head accidentally bumped into my wife's nose. It hurt her on the left side, but she said she felt fine after a bit. However, later at night, she noticed some blood spots when she blew her nose. There's no pain or constant bleeding, but the blood spots got us a bit worried. Is that something normal?
