I have ear clicking and discharge. What could be the reason?
Hello doctor,
I hear a clicking sound in my ears since the last three to four months. When I put my fingers inside my ears, a brown sticky substance comes out. The clicking sound does not come on its own, but it comes when I focus on it too much, although I have no earache.

What can I do to unblock my ear and resolve the tinnitus and hearing problem? I am on Augmentin and Allegra.

A pulp is seen in the ear after accidental eardrum damage. What is to be done?
Hi doctor,
Five days back, my son put a plastic stick into his ears and the membrane got damaged and blood came out. We went to the doctor immediately. He gave us Azithromycin to give the child and told us to keep his ear safe from air, water and, all other materials. He also told us to watch out for fever. But after five days, a pulp is seen in the ear. Will it affect his hearing capacity? What should I do next? Please give me an answer immediately.

Are my sore throat and enlarged tonsils due to hypothyroidism?
Hi doctor,
I have a slight sore throat on the left side, my tonsil on that side seems slightly larger, it looks like tonsillitis, and I also have some teardrop-shaped swellings on the arch in front of the tonsil. I do have sore mouth regularly due to hypothyroidism. I am most concerned about the bumps or lumps and wonder if I should be worried. Currently I am taking tablets Levothyroxine, Ciclesonide inhaler, and tablet Lisdexamfetamine. Please help. Thank you.
