I have tympanosclerosis with possible infection and impacted earwax. I am a 27-year-old male with mild ear pain, impacted brown smelly earwax that needs cleaning every 6 months, and scarred eardrums from past tubes. One eardrum has red on the scar, and there's a dark dot. The ear pain is stable, achy, and sensitive when touched. I've tried ofloxacin ear drops without success. What could be causing this, and what treatments should I consider?

What could be causing this cough and should he consider allergy tests?

My girlfriend and I had sex on December 26th, but I never ejaculated inside her. She took two emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) on December 28th. Her expected period was on January 2nd, but she started having blood spots on January 4th and bleeding on January 5th, which she described as scary bleeding. After that, she had no bleeding but experienced lower abdominal pain, which has now subsided. She is 26 years old and was very stressed during this time. Is there anything to worry about? Are there any signs of pregnancy?
