Why do I have whistling sound in my left ear after using hydrogen peroxide?
Persistent whistle in your left ear may be related to fluid or sensitivity following hydrogen peroxide exposure. While it's reassuring that your eardrum is intact, this sound could come from issues like Eustachian tube dysfunction or residual earwax. It’s important to stay in touch with your ENT specialist, as they can provide targeted treatments or further evaluations if necessary. In the meantime, try avoiding irritating substances and keep your ears dry.

Why is my uvula suddenly very long?
Uvulitis is when your uvula swells up. The uvula hangs at the back of your throat. Infections, allergies, or snoring while asleep can cause it. You might feel something in your throat. Swallowing may be difficult, and your throat might hurt. Drinking lots of water helps. Gargling warm saltwater soothes. If symptoms don't go away, see an ENT specialist.

Can elongated uvula cause swallowing discomfort and worsen?
Concerns about an elongated uvula are understandable and can be caused by factors such as dehydration, allergies, or inflammation. Considering you are merely feeling a little weirdness while swallowing but breathing is okay, it may not be a life-threatening event. Saltwater gargling is the first step to getting relief. Alongside that, drinking water is just as important. When things get worse, or you face such a problem as shortness of breath, and increased pain, please consult an ENT specialist.

Why is my ear canal hurting after cleaning?
Using small sticks to remove ear wax can be risky as it might push the wax deeper or harm the sensitive skin inside. Pains in the ear canal may occur due to infections, direct contact with a stick, or blocking the ear with wax. I recommend not using sticks in the ears. To relieve the pain, you can try using a warm compress on the outside of the ear and avoid putting anything in the ear canal. If the pain does not cease or worsen, consult an ENT specialist.

Could Sudafed nasal spray cause rebound congestion symptoms?
You could be suffering from rebound congestion. This is common when people use nasal sprays such as Sudafed for more than a couple of days. It may cause you to have swollen nasal passages with a feeling of being more congested. The saline sinus rinse is excellent at relieving the swelling. It's best to avoid overusing the nasal spray to prevent rebound congestion.

Can I Take Dolo 650 for Throat Pain?
It sounds like you're experiencing throat pain and cough, which can often stem from viral infections or irritants. Since you have no fever or runny nose, this may not be a serious concern. You can continue using throat lozenges and gargling warm salt water for comfort. Dolo 650, which contains paracetamol, can help relieve pain; just ensure you follow dosage instructions. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a physician for tailored advice.
