I've just been to an ENT to get the ear wax removed, and now I'm getting this buzzing sound in my ear. Also, the tragus on my left ear hurts when I touch it. I'm really worried about this. Do you think my tinnitus will ever go away?

After eating chicken about a year ago, I felt like a bone got stuck in my throat. I went to an ENT specialist and got an X-ray, which turned out normal. A few months ago, I felt that same stuck sensation in the same spot after eating something and ended up coughing and vomiting, which made me feel better. Today, I had food and felt the same thing again, same spot, and I coughed and vomited again, but this time, I noticed some bloody sputum, and I've had a cough for the last two days. Im wondering why its the same spot every time and if the blood could be related to this cough and cold. What do you think might be going on?
