I feel tightness and pain in my throat, especially when I swallow. I had deviated septum surgery before but now facing this issue. Could this be related or something else?

A sore throat and tightness when swallowing after deviated septum surgery can be normal due to the breathing tube and potential dripping of blood, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor. It could also be related to other issues like allergies, infections, or even GERD.

I'm worried about my left ear. It has around 70 holes in the eardrum. Is there any way it can heal on its own without needing surgery? What's the best solution for this?

I've been having this recurring issue with my throat where I keep getting these ulcers. They show up pretty often and usually pop up again not long after they heal. I'm wondering if this might be linked to my habit of eating cold stuff. Could that be causing the ulcers to come back?

Try to stop using coolip that could trigger your condition,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've noticed that my tonsils have been really swollen for a while now, ever since I had a whooping cough. The doctor mentioned they were large and red, but I didn't really feel any discomfort like pain or issues with swallowing. Lately, my friends told me I've been snoring, and Im starting to wonder if it's linked to my tonsils. I quit smoking completely, and while my cough went away, the swelling in my tonsils hasnt. Theyre so big that theres only a small gap between them. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that will eventually go back to normal?

As you say your tonsils look swollen with no symptoms.without any further delay visit ENT docotor for rvaluating other conditions and appropriate approach.
