I've had this issue where my right ear feels blocked for the last couple of days. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you suggest any medicine for ear blockage or maybe some exercises to help clear it up?

Chronic sneezing and itchy eyes can be frustrating.

Possible causes include:

  • Allergies (seasonal or perennial)
  • Dust mites
  • Pet allergies
  • Pollen

Consult an allergist or ENT specialist for:

  • Allergy testing
  • Personalized treatment plans
  • Immunotherapy (if necessary)

In the meantime, try:

  • Over-the-counter antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine)
  • Eye drops (e.g., ketotifen)
  • Nasal sprays (e.g., oxymetazoline)

I'm having this issue where I really feel like I need to sneeze, but I just can't seem to actually sneeze. It's been going on for a bit, and now I'm getting a headache and even some stomach pain from it. Any idea what's going on or how I can finally get some relief?

The inability to sneeze, despite the urge, can lead to pent-up pressure, causing headaches and stomach discomfort; try relieving the tension by: applying pressure to the philtrum (area between nose and upper lip), taking a warm shower, drinking plenty of fluids, or using saline nasal sprays to loosen mucus, and if symptoms persist, consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT

I'm a 27-year-old male, and something really strange has been happening for the past two days. When I try to inflate my mouth like I'm blowing up a balloon, this little area in my right jaw puffs up too. It's a super weird sensation, something I've never felt before. And when I massage the area right below my right ear, I can hear a kind of air bubble popping sound. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

The unusual sensation of a pocket inflating in your right jaw when filling air in your mouth, accompanied by an air-bubble-popping sound when massaging the area, may indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a blocked salivary gland, or a rare condition like pneumoparotitis; consult a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
