I've been waking up with my right ear feeling blocked and kinda wet for the past three days. There's this ringing sound in that ear that sticks around all day, which is really starting to bug me. Could you help me figure out what's going on with it?

For dry sinusitis, consider:

Nasal moisturizers: Nasogel, Rhinocort Aqua, or Simply Saline

Humidifiers to add moisture to the air

Increase saline spray usage to 3-4 times a day

For swelling and congestion:

Consult an ENT specialist for a proper examination

Consider prescription medications like nasal corticosteroids

Otrivin can be used as needed, but follow usage guidelines

Maintain good nasal hygiene and consult your doctor for personalized guidance.

I've been feeling like something's crawling in my ear for about a week now, but theres nothing actually there. I haven't been in a place where this could happen. It all kicked off when I had a cold and a runny nose. When I was clearing my nose, I felt pressure releasing from my ear too, which Ive never experienced before. Since then, my ear's just felt weird. Sometimes at night, I wake up because it feels like something's moving in my ear. It's happened a couple of times. Could this be something to worry about?

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone last night. It didn't hurt going down, but I'm just a bit worried if it might cause me any trouble later on. I had some hot water afterward. Should I be concerned about this?

Usually it will be passed out in your faeces and doesnt cause any problem,no need to worry you can forget about that.

I'm having a hard time with this persistent mucus in my throat, and it's not getting better even after I've tried steaming and gargling. I'm currently using Seroflow 500, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any advice on what else I can do? It's really frustrating.

take tablet mucinac for 5 days, twice a day
