I've noticed that I'm always dealing with one blocked nostril, and it's really odd because it only feels unblock while I'm taking a hot shower. It's not a runny nose or anything that feels like a cold. Could this be something I should be concerned about? Is there a reason why the steam or heat from the shower might be helping?

The persistent blockage of one nostril, except during hot showers, could be due to a deviated septum, nasal polyps, enlarged turbinate bones, or environmental allergies; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)

I'm a bit concerned because after getting the wax cleaned from my ear, it's now bleeding. The doctor mentioned there might be a little blood, but should I be worried if it's more than just a little? What should I do next?
After cleaning the wax, it is normal to experience some bleeding. You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area to prevent infection and promote healing. You can also use a sterile gauze pad to apply gentle pressure on the area to help stop the bleeding. If the bleeding persists or worsens, please seek medical attention.

I had wisdom teeth surgery on Friday, and I've been dealing with hiccups for the past 48 hours. It's starting to really hurt my chest and is making me feel nauseous. Is this normal after surgery, or should I be concerned? What can I do to relieve these symptoms?
The hiccups, chest pain, and nausea you're experiencing could be due to a combination of surgery, medications, or temporary irritation. While its common to have some discomfort after wisdom teeth surgery, if the symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend reaching out to your dentist or oral surgeon to ensure theres no underlying complication.
