I had throat pain a few days ago, and though that's gotten better, I've started having this cough. Also, I noticed a small flap-like skin beneath my tongue, deep in my throat. I think it's my epiglottis. Is it normal to be able to see the epiglottis? I don't seem to have any other symptoms but just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about.

View allI've been experiencing this really odd crackling sound in my ears for over two years now. Whenever I swallow, speak, or even move the muscles in my ears, there's this popping or crisping noise. It started after I went scuba diving and I've also listened to a lot of loud music in the past. I've seen a doctor about it, but they said everything seems fine. I'm just not sure why both my ears still make these sounds. Do you have any thoughts on what it might be? Are there any over-the-counter treatments, herbs, or supplements that could help with this?
When the Eustachian tube doesn't open or close properly, it can cause crackling or popping sounds in the ear. so consult ENT surgeon for the same
