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'm really worried because I've been having this weird discomfort in my throat for the past 23 weeks. It's mostly at night and feels like something's stuck in there. I already saw an ENT doctor who did a larynx endoscopy and gave me some meds, which worked for about ten days. But now the problem is back and when I eat, it feels like there's this spicy sensation in my throat and even in my ear. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Drinking cold water can cause: - Irritation of the throat lining - Constriction of blood vessels - Inflammation To soothe the sore throat: - Gargle with warm saltwater - Suck on throat lozenges (e.g., Strepsils) - Take over-the-counter pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen) Rest your voice and stay hydrated. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
