I'm a bit worried because my ear started hurting yesterday and it feels swollen and painful inside. I've had ear infections before, but this doesn't feel like thatit just feels swollen. I tried to take a video, and it looks like there's something white in my ear. Could this be an infection or something else? Should I be concerned?

I've had this white spot on my tonsil for a few days now, and whenever I touch it with a swab, it feels like a piece of rice comes out. It's happened a few times in the same spot, and even though I'm gargling with hot water and taking medicine, its not going away. I can feel something at the back of my mouth, but there isn't much pain. I've had tonsillitis since I was a kid, but this feels different. Plus, there's some pain in my ear. Could this be some kind of infection?

yes this could be recurrent tonsillitis if it is so better get it removed.visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm really worried about this white spot on my tonsil. I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort, but I can't help but wonder if it might be something serious like cancer or another disease. Could you please help me understand what it might be?

Seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, try: - Drink a glass of water to help dislodge the bone - Eat a small amount of soft food like banana or bread - Avoid coughing or gagging, which can push the bone further A doctor or ENT specialist can: - Visually examine your throat - Use specialized instruments to remove the bone - Provide pain relief medication if needed
