I've noticed this giant hole in my tonsil that's large enough for my finger to fit in, and I'm also dealing with a sore throat. It's really strange. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly be?

Question

I'm feeling a bit concerned because there's this dull pain near my windpipe, on the right side of my neck, right in the front. The pain seems to come up when I press on it or tilt my head a certain way. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Question

My throat's been hurting for a couple of days now, but its not like a typical sore throat. The pain feels like its on the outside at two specific spots, and it doesnt hurt when I swallow or anything, no cold symptoms either. The pain's just there constantly, whether I talk, sneeze, yawn, or even touch my throat. Eating and drinking seem normal though. Is it okay if I have cold foods or spicy stuff? And should I be doing any gargling since it's not like the usual throat pain we hear about?

Question

I've noticed this small, hard lump kind of thing near my jawline. It doesn't hurt on its own, but touching it is really painful. I also saw two hairs growing there. Should I see an ENT doctor or a dentist for this?
