I've noticed that when I use buds in my right ear, theres a little bit of wax mixed with a yellow liquid that has a smell. Theres no pain or problems with my hearing, but it's kind of worrying. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've been having a lot of pain around my throat, especially near my neck. These pains have been on and off for a while, but for the past 34 days, they've gotten worse. I've noticed a small lump near my Adam's apple, almost like a clot. Has anyone experienced something like this? What should I do?

The persistent and worsening throat pain, along with a palpable mass near the Adam's apple, warrants urgent medical attention; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I'm wondering if it's okay to keep inhaling steam for like, several months, doing it morning and evening for about 10 minutes each time. I've been doing this since October because my ENT doctor suggested it for a sore throat and blocked nose, along with some meds. Sometimes I still wake up with a blocked nose, so I've continued with the steam. And honestly, I also think it might help with things considering the pandemic stuff, even though I'm all good now after having COVID during the 2nd wave. Is it safe to keep doing this for a really long time, say 6 to 7 months?

Don't steam longer than 10 to 15 minutes for each session. However, you can repeat steam inhalation two or three times per day if you're still having symptoms.

I've been dealing with non-stop sneezing, a runny nose, and a blocked nose for over 20 days now. I've only gotten temporary relief from using Otrivin and Naselin. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do? I'm starting to get worried since it's been going on for quite a while.
