I've been smoking and drinking on and off, and about 10 days ago, I had a really bad throat pain and cold fever. My doctor gave me Ampoxin 625 mg, and it completely went away. But I've noticed that whenever I masturbate at night, by the next morning, I've got this awful sore throat. It's been like this for 10 days straight. Is there some connection between masturbation and sore throats?

I've been dealing with this weird pressure in my right ear for the past couple of years. It's especially noticeable whenever I talkit just feels uncomfortable. I've seen a bunch of ENT specialists, and I've heard everything from "it's a tonsil problem" to "there's no issue at all." It's super frustrating not having any answers. Could there be something else going on with my ear that hasn't been checked?

My left ear has been feeling blocked for the last 45 days. It started as a feeling of it blocking and opening on and off, but today it's feeling more blocked than ever, and there's some mild pain now and then. I'm really getting worried. Any idea what's happening or what I should do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of earwax causing a blockage in your left ear. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops such as Debrox to help soften the earwax and facilitate its removal. You can also try using a bulb syringe to gently flush out the ear with warm water. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
