I've been struggling with this sore throat for about a month now, and it's really starting to worry me. I've been on clavam 625 and signoflam for three days, but honestly, I don't see much of a difference. Im also doing steam inhalations and gargling, but those only help for a little while. What do you think I should do next?

Ringing in the ear after earwax removal can be unsettling!
Possible Causes
- Temporary irritation: Earwax removal can cause temporary irritation, leading to ringing.
- Middle ear muscle spasm: The procedure might have triggered a muscle spasm in the middle ear.
- Eustachian tube dysfunction: The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. Dysfunction can cause ringing.
Remedies
- Wait and observe: As it's been only 1.5 months, the ringing might resolve on its own.
- Ear drops: Use ear drops like hydrogen peroxide or earwax dissolvers to help soothe the ear.
- Relaxation techniques: Stress can exacerbate tinnitus. Try relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
Medical Consultation
- Follow-up with your ENT: Schedule a follow-up appointment to reassess the situation.
- Tinnitus evaluation: If the ringing persists, ask your ENT about tinnitus evaluation and management options.
Lifestyle Changes
- Avoid loud noises: Protect your hearing by avoiding loud environments.
- Manage stress: Engage in stress-reducing activities to help cope with tinnitus.

View allI've been dealing with Vertigo for about 2 years now, and it's really getting to me. Back in 2012, I had a bad accident but was told there were no major issues, just some muscle spasms. But then around June 2015, I started feeling off-balance when driving. I saw a cardiologist, and he said I have MVP but didnt think it was anything seriousjust gave me Starpress XL 25 mg. My blood tests all came back okay except my sugar was borderline, and my BP was fine too. An endocrinologist ruled out any sugar or BP issues. Finally, an ENT said it's Vertigo. My right ear often feels full and occasionally hurts. Things were okay for the last few months, but now, within the past 10 days, the imbalance is back. Im on Vertin 16 mg and Stematil MD, but what else can I do? This is super frustrating. Any ideas on how to handle this?

I have a sinus infection and bad headaches because my nose is bent. Is it possible to straighten my nose without surgery? I'm really worried about this
While a deviated septum causing sinus issues and headaches can be bothersome, surgery (septoplasty) is generally the only way to correct a deviated septum. However, managing symptoms with medications and possibly nonsurgical rhinoplasty might provide relief and address the appearance of the nose.
