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.

I've been dealing with ear problems for the past 5 years and have seen multiple doctors but still no improvement. My hearing loss is around 50db in both ears. What treatment options would you recommend? If surgery is the best route, could you suggest some good hospitals? And if non-surgical treatments are better, what kind of treatments should I consider? I'm 27 years old and really want to find a solution that works.

You may need further evaluation for ear issues; both surgical and hearing aids are options‚Äîvisit a tertiary ENT center.

I've been feeling this weird needle-like sensation in my throat for a couple of days. There's no soreness or itchiness, and I don't have a cold or anything. It actually feels better when I drink something warm. Do you think taking something like Azithromycin or Amoxy Clav would help?

That could be mucosal congestion consume warm liquids for a day and check if its still there you can take either of the tablet .
