I'm a bit worried because it always feels like there's a lump or something stuck in my throat. Eating is fine, and I don't have trouble swallowing food, but when I just swallow my saliva, it feels like there's something tight in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?

View allI've been dealing with a runny nose recently, and while that's gotten better, now I've got this weird issue with my throat that seems like an infection. It's causing some pretty bad pain in my ear, especially around the area just behind my last tooth on the right side. I'm really getting worried. Could it be all connected somehow?
It sounds like you may have developed a throat infection which is causing ear pain. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help soothe your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

My ear has a perforated eardrum and sometimes it hurts and leaks fluid do I really need surgery for this or can it heal on its own? I'm worried about the pain and whether it could get worse.
A perforated eardrum usually gets better on its own within 2 months and your hearing returns to normal. A GP may prescribe antibiotics if you have an ear infection, or to stop you getting an ear infection while your eardrum heals.

I'm a 20-year-old woman and people often say my voice sounds like I'm crying even when I'm just talking normally. Are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that could help make my voice sound more natural? It's been bothering me for a while and I'm not sure what options exist besides surgery

While surgery can be an option for some vocal cord issues, voice therapy is often the first line of treatment and can be very effective. Here's a breakdown of potential approaches:
