Question

I've been using a qtip to clean my ear, and after I took it out, I noticed some bleeding. Does this mean I might've ruptured my eardrum? Should I be worried about how serious it is? Everything seems normal otherwise, like there's no pain, dizziness, and my hearing is as usual. Just wondering if I should get it checked out.

Question

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?

Question

I'm feeling this heaviness in my left ear after I got slapped, and it just feels sort of blank. There's this dull, heavy sensation and a little bit of pain. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Question

So I've been dealing with a perforated eardrum, and my ENT mentioned it should heal with time. They gave me antibiotics, Himalaya Oxitard, and Vertin 8 mg to help out. My ear feels much better now, but there's still this ringing sound that comes and goes. Vertin seems to really help with it. Do you think it's alright for me to keep taking Vertin 8 mg and Himalaya Oxitard for a while longer?
