Clogged Ear After Cold, How Long Until It Clears?

Has anyone had Eustachian tube dysfunction after a respiratory infection/congestion?

My ear has felt clogged/full 24/7 for about a week. I can still hear, and my ENT said my ear looks normal, but thinks the tube is inflamed from congestion. I just started prednisone.

How long did the fullness last for you? Did it gradually improve or suddenly pop open? I’m going crazy with this feeling!

Pain while walking 12 days after partial toenail removal (no chemical applied) is this normal?

I had the side of my big toenail removed 12 days ago for an ingrown toenail. The wound looks like it’s healing well, no drainage, pus, or increasing redness.
My only concern is that the pain while walking is worse than it was a few days ago. It’s only tender when I put pressure on it, right at the base where the nail was removed. I’ve also had to wear less roomy shoes to work several days, so I’m wondering if that could be the cause.
I have a follow-up with my podiatrist in 3 days. Has anyone experienced this? Did it end up being normal healing or something else?

Need recommendations for a dentist who is great with crowns

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a dentist who is really experienced with crowns, especially for upper back teeth/molars. I already have a crown in that area and I’m trying to save the tooth and make sure the crown is done properly.

I’m specifically looking for someone who is very detail-oriented and experienced with difficult crown work/restorations, not just general cleanings. If you’ve had a really good experience with a dentist who fixed or replaced a crown successfully, I’d really appreciate the recommendation. Thank you!
