I'm feeling really worried because for the past couple of days, I've been dealing with a dry nose and now it feels super itchy. I don't have a cold or any other symptoms like a headache or fever, but I'm breastfeeding my baby and I'm concerned if these could be symptoms of a virus. Can you give me some advice on what this might be and what I should do? I'd really appreciate your help!

Is using clove oil safe to treat an ear infection at home? My right ear keeps ringing, and it's really irritating. Sometimes a liquid comes out, and then the ringing stops, but it starts again after a while. This has been happening for a couple of days now. What should I do?

Using clove oil for ear infections at home is not recommended as it can potentially cause irritation and allergic reactions in the ear canal. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and keep the ear dry. If there is discharge from the ear, avoid putting anything inside the ear canal and seek medical attention promptly.
