I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening for quite a while now. Whenever I chew my food or drink something, I notice this buzzing sound in my right ear. It starts internally and stops about 10-15 seconds after I stop chewing. This has been going on for about 45 months, and I'm wondering what's causing it and if there's a way to stop it. Any insights?

The buzzing sound you're experiencing in your right ear when chewing could be related to Eustachian tube dysfunction, TMJ disorder, or even tinnitus. These conditions are often treatable, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen. The doctor can help determine the exact cause and recommend the appropriate treatment for you.

I've been dealing with on-and-off fevers for about a month now, along with mucus and a sore throat. Just last week, I noticed these yellow blister-like spots in my throat, about the size of half a penny, and my throat's pink color is changing to this yellowish white. I work around kids, so I'm always around a lot of germs. The doctor mentioned a respiratory infection last week but didn't run any tests and prescribed amoxicillin. It's been six days and things seem to be getting worse. Do you have any idea what this might be?

I've been dealing with sinusitis for years and had a septoplasty back in 2014 for a deviated septum, but I still get frequent sinus headaches and occasional nose blocks. The doctor also recommended functional balloon sinus surgery back then could that help with my ongoing issues or are there other treatments I should consider?
