I have a stone in my salivary gland and I'm not sure what to do next will it go away with medication or do I need surgery to remove it? I'm a bit worried about what the best option is

You can try to remove a salivary gland stone by doing things to increase the amount of saliva in your mouth, such as: sucking on a lemon or lemon drops. drinking plenty of water. gently massaging around the stone.

I'm having this crackling noise in my left ear for a while now and it's starting to worry me. I went for an audiometry test and they said everything's normal, but I still can't shake the feeling that something's off. It's especially bad when I use my phone on that sideI can hear things but they sound muffled and unclear. Plus, there's this constant tinnitus that's been bothering me. What could be going on?

The crackling noise, muffled hearing, and tinnitus in your left ear, despite normal audiometry results, suggest possible conditions like Eustachian tube dysfunction, patulous Eustachian tube, or middle ear myoclonus; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I'm really worried because I've had this lump feeling in the back of my throat and mouth for about three months now. I've also noticed some white spots back there. My doctor mentioned it could be pharyngitis, but even after three months of medication, that feeling hasnt gone away. Now I've started having neck and back pain, and there's this weird sweet and sour taste in my mouth. Im feeling pretty confused and scared about all this. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
