I've been told to take steam twice a day to help with throat, ear, and nose issues, but I'm worried if doing this regularly might lead to pneumonia in the lungs. Can inhaling too much steam actually cause such problems?

no it does not cause pneumonia but excess steam causes sinusitis and nose problems ,avoid taking steam and avoid salt water gargling

I've been dealing with a cold for almost two months now and it's getting really frustrating. I'm doing steam inhalation every day and using a nasal spray that my doctor prescribed, so my nose isn't blocked at the moment. But it feels like there's something stuck in my throat that Im constantly trying to spit out. Every time I do, it feels like there's a connection to my ears, which is really uncomfortable. On top of that, I've got an eye infection that just won't go away. I've been on medication for a month now with no real improvement. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I went to get a hearing aid and the dealer took an ear impression but now there's material stuck in my middle ear after the CT scan. What should I do next and which hospital is best for this? If surgery is needed, could there be complications like damage to the incus or stapes when removing the material?
Go to an ENT surgeon with expertise in otologic surgery. Extraction under microscopic guidance is safe, but risks like ossicle damage must be discussed beforehand.
