I've just gotten over a cold, but now every time I cough or swallow, my ears start clicking and making noises. It's pretty frustrating and I can't help but wonder what's going on. Could this be related to the cold I had, or is it something else? It's really starting to bug me. What should I do about this?

View allI've been noticing that since yesterday, everything sounds kind of echoed. It's like someone is talking to me through a hollow pipe right next to my ear. And today, I've started having a mild headache. Could this be a stress-related issue because I had an intense week with non-stop phone calls using in-ear headphones for about 8 hours each day? Or should I be concerned about something else going on?
The continuous use of in-ear headphones for long hours can sometimes lead to such problems. I recommend taking a break from using headphones and giving your ears some rest. You can also try using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help with any ear congestion. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've had a sore throat for the last three months and it's not getting better. I've tried different medications like Bactoclav 625mg and Cefixime, but nothing seems to work. Should I be worried or try something else? What do you recommend?
common causes of a chronic sore throat include: Infections, such as persistent tonsillitis Environmental pollutants, such as smoke and chemicals Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), where stomach acid goes back into your throat Mouth breathing Straining your throat muscles by yelling, talking loudly, or talking for long periods without rest To help soothe a sore throat, you can try drinking plenty of fluids, such as herbal tea with honey or warm water with lemon. Honey has been shown to be an effective treatment for sore throats

Can you let me know how many hours of sleep are recommended if I'm taking Montek LC? I usually get around 7 to 8 hours, but I'm still feeling drowsy. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
7-8 hrs of sleep is enough but the tablet usually makes you feel drowsy for upto 10 hrs.
