I'm a 27-year-old male, and something really strange has been happening for the past two days. When I try to inflate my mouth like I'm blowing up a balloon, this little area in my right jaw puffs up too. It's a super weird sensation, something I've never felt before. And when I massage the area right below my right ear, I can hear a kind of air bubble popping sound. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

The unusual sensation of a pocket inflating in your right jaw when filling air in your mouth, accompanied by an air-bubble-popping sound when massaging the area, may indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a blocked salivary gland, or a rare condition like pneumoparotitis; consult a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

View allI'm hearing a lot of talk online about using urine to cure ear infections. Apparently, some people think it's the best or even the only way to fix an earache. But I'm worried that it might cause more issues, like infection, since urine is human waste and all. Can you clarify if this is safe or just a myth?
no never use it again it could cause serious infections

I've got this white, pearly, bumpy papule-like growth on my right tonsil. It doesn't hurt, but I can really feel it when I'm swallowing, like there's something stuck in my throat. I've also noticed a slight ache in my right ear. What could this be?

I'm experiencing this weird heaviness on the left front side of my face, and sometimes I get pain in my left eye too. It feels worse in the morning. I already got my eyes checked, and they said everything's fine. Could this be something other than an eye issue, like maybe my sinuses or something else? It's just really uncomfortable, and Im worried about what it could be. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a tension headache or migraine. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for relief of head heaviness and pain in the left eye. You can take it every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 3,000-4,000mg in a day. Additionally, you can try using ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg for further pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated, get enough rest, and manage stress to help prevent these symptoms from occurring.
