I've noticed a lump in my throat, just above my Adams apple. It's not painful, but it feels uncomfortable when I swallow. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

View allI'm worried because I was using an earbud to clean my ear, and some of the cotton got stuck inside. I managed to pull some of it out with tweezers, but not all of it. Then I tried putting a couple of drops of Soliwax in my ear. Will this help, or should I be doing something else to ensure my ear is okay?
Using an earbud to clean your ears can push earwax deeper, and leaving cotton behind can cause irritation; attempting to remove the cotton with a plucker can also cause damage; applying Soliwax ear drops may help dissolve the remaining wax, but to ensure relief and avoid further complications, consult an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and safe earwax removal.

I just had ear wax removal today. The doctor gave me ear drops to use for a week, and then they took care of the wax manually. It wasn't painful, but now I'm feeling some pressure and pain in my ear. Is this something that usually happens afterward? The doctor mentioned Calpol and Zoxwax drops, and also prescribed an Allrite DC tablet. I'm wondering how long I might feel this way.
That's usually normal and won't persist more than 2-3 days,if you notice any abnormal discharge or severe pain visit your doctor for appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing some pain between my left ear and lower jaw, and sometimes it seems to travel up to my brain. Just today, I noticed a small lump at the back of my throat. Could this be oral cancer? I've been using cool lip tobacco for about 3.5 years now. Would really appreciate your thoughts.
Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
