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.

How long until clogged ear clears post antibiotic treatment?
The pressure and crackling you're feeling may be due to fluid trapped behind your eardrum, often after an infection. It usually clears on its own within a few weeks. In the meantime, you can try chewing gum, yawning, or performing the Valsalva maneuver (close your mouth, pinch your nose, and blow gently) to open the Eustachian tube. If the problem persists for more than a couple of weeks or worsens, it's best to see an ENT doctor for further treatment.

Why am I experiencing chronic sinusitis symptoms?
Your symptoms do point towards chronic sinusitis, which can indeed cause all the issues you've been facing like the loss of smell, congestion, headaches, and even the anxiety and fast heartbeat episodes. It's good that you've been proactive in seeking help and trying medications, but it seems like we might need to explore other treatment options. I'd recommend seeing an ENT specialist again for a thorough evaluation to possibly consider different medications or even other interventions.

Why is my right ear blocked with mini beats?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a mild blockage in your ear, potentially caused by earwax buildup, sinus issues, or changes in pressure. The sensation of rhythmic sounds could be linked to fluid movement or minor changes in your ear's function. Staying hydrated and gently yawning or swallowing may help relieve discomfort. However, to ensure a proper assessment and appropriate treatment, I recommend consulting a ENT specialist. They can provide a thorough examination and tailored advice.

What should I do for a blocked ear?
A blocked ear can be due to various reasons such as earwax buildup, an ear infection, or even changes in air pressure. What you can do first is try some home remedies like gently tilting your head to the side or using over-the-counter ear drops to soften the wax. However, if the blockage persists or is accompanied by pain or hearing loss, it's best to see a ENT specialist for a proper evaluation. They can help determine the underlying cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
