I've recently noticed a kind of white layer inside my ear, and I'm really worried about what it might be. Could it be a fungal infection? Would appreciate any advice you have on this.

Worrying symptoms.
Possible causes:
- Vitamin deficiencies: B12, vitamin D, or magnesium deficiencies can cause tingling, shaking, and fatigue.
- Nerve issues: Peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage, or pinched nerves can lead to tingling and shaking.
- Thyroid problems: Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can cause cold intolerance, fatigue, and weakness.
- Anemia: Low red blood cell count or iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, and cold intolerance.
- Autoimmune disorders: Conditions like multiple sclerosis, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis can cause numbness, tingling, and fatigue.
Consult a doctor to:
- Run diagnostic tests (blood work, nerve conduction studies)
- Discuss symptoms and medical history
- Determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan

I've been dealing with a lot of sneezing, a running nose, and now a blocked nose for over 20 days, and my head feels heavy. I tried taking cetrizine and cetgel, but they haven't helped. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?
Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or an allergist to rule out underlying conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, or nasal polyps; in addition to Cetrizine and Cetgel, you may want to try other treatments like nasal saline irrigation, steam inhalation, or immunotherapy; also, ask your doctor about alternative medications like Montelukast, Azelastine, or Fluticasone nasal spray, which may provide relief from your symptoms.

I'm 17 and recently had a check-up where the doctor diagnosed me with acute otitis media in my right ear, possibly due to my cold. I've been taking antibiotics like Natravox, using a nasal spray, and a tablet called Nasathera for the cold. The pain in my ear has gone away after taking painkillers, and my cold has cleared up too. But I'm still not hearing fully from my right earthere's this ringing sound. I dance as a hobby, and with a dance concert coming up soon, I'm wondering if it's safe to continue practicing or do any strenuous activities with this ear infection. Could this affect my recovery or hearing any further?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
