Question 2

I'm having some ear pain for the past three days. It gets worse when I burp or do something similar, and now the pain seems to be spreading in my ear. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you may be experiencing ear infection symptoms. I recommend using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, you can use ear drops containing benzocaine to help with the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

my hearing has been really muffled lately and i think it might be glue ear ive heard about grommet surgery but im not sure if i need it or if theres other options i should try first

Accepted Answer

If you suspect glue ear and are concerned about muffled hearing, it's best to consult a doctor or audiologist. While grommet surgery (myringotomy with grommet insertion) can be a solution for persistent glue ear, it's not always the first step. Other options include observation, medications (like antibiotics or decongestants), and temporary use of hearing aids.

I've been struggling with a dark ring around my nose, and I just can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I try. Do you have any suggestions or advice on what might help? It's been bothering me, and I'd love to know what could be causing it or how I can treat it.

That could be mellasma, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
