Question 1

I'm experiencing some popping and crackling sounds in my ears, especially when I swallow. It's mostly happening on the left side, but occasionally on the right too. I've also noticed some pain below my ear. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this, and do I need to see a specialist?

Accepted Answer

No,it's not possible for an insect to settle down there,the noise could be due to fluid movement which is due to ear effusion, practice valsalva, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

Question 2

I'm experiencing some pain and swelling right in front of my tragus, kind of towards my face. I've tried using an ear wax and infection solution, but it's not helping. Also, I'm having these small feverish spells. What could this be, and what should I do?

Accepted Answer

Could indicate an infection in the ear or surrounding area. I recommend you use an antibiotic ear drop like Ciprodex (ciprofloxacindexamethasone) to help with the infection. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen for pain and fever relief. However, it is important to see a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Question 3

I've been dealing with otitis media for about a week now and have been taking Augmentin 625 Duo and Crocin for it. There was this wheatish discharge from my ear, then some watery stuff came out, and that made the fullness in my ear go away for a bit. But now, after a week, I'm feeling that fullness again in the same ear. I'm still on Augmentin and doing some steam inhalation. So, I'm wondering how often should I be doing the steam inhalation thing and how long should each session be? Also, how long does it usually take to completely recover from otitis media? And do you have any tips on how I can prevent it from coming back?

Accepted Answer

you have to follow up with ent doctor

Advanced ENT-guided FESS is effective, but if unaffordable, try nasal steroids, sprays, and steam inhalation for relief.
