Question

I'm experiencing some popping and crackling sounds in my ears, especially when I swallow. It's mostly happening on the left side, but occasionally on the right too. I've also noticed some pain below my ear. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this, and do I need to see a specialist?

No,it's not possible for an insect to settle down there,the noise could be due to fluid movement which is due to ear effusion, practice valsalva, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

Question

My throat's been making this strange cracking sound whenever I hold it and move it a bit to the side. I've also been dealing with some acidity issues that sometimes lead to heavy vomiting. It feels like there's a bone-like blockage in my throat, and when I vomit like this, it sometimes causes bleeding in my throat. Can someone please help me figure out what's going on with me?

I've been having a sore throat for about three weeks, along with ear pain and swelling on one side of my neck. I've also got tonsil stones, super dry mouth, and I noticed red bumps at the back of my throat and on my tongue. Theres a bit of thrush too. Could all of this be related to candida?
