I'm experiencing this pain right below my left ear and jaw area, and it's really uncomfortable. There's no pain in my teeth, but there's some swelling happening too. Could this possibly be mumps? I'm a bit worried and unsure about what it could be. What should I do?

I'm dealing with a recurring ulcer that always seems to pop up in the same spot, and it's getting pretty big. At the same time, the lymph node on that side swells up too, and this has happened more than a couple of times over the past six months. I'm really worried it might be mouth cancer. How can I find out what's going on? What do you think?

it could be GERD - Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better. - Reduce Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food - Avoid Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day - Exercise regularly - Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters - AvoidStop smoking and drinking if you have the habit - Reduce stress through methods such as yogameditation. - Avoid painkillers as it will increase your gastric problems at this moment.

I've been dealing with this weird crawling sensation in my right ear for months now. I've already seen two ENT specialists and my GP, but no one found anything. They told me not to use ear buds, although I rarely do. One of the specialists mentioned that the lack of wax might be causing it and gave me ear drops, but they're not helping. The sensation comes and goes, but it's really starting to drive me crazy. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could try?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called "tinnitus," which can cause sensations like crawling, buzzing, or ringing in the ears. In your case, since there is no visible issue inside the ear and minimal wax, the crawling sensation could be due to nerve signals misfiring in the ear. I recommend trying a medication like Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. Betahistine can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. However, please consult your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is suitable for you.

I'm really worried about my recent medical reports that mention something called pleomorphic adenoma. I'm unsure which kind of doctor I should see about this. Do you think surgery is necessary, and which specialist is best for handling this situation?

For plemorphic adenoma, you should consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or an Otolaryngologist. Surgery is often recommended for plemorphic adenoma to remove the tumor and prevent any complications. The specialist will assess your specific case and recommend the appropriate treatment plan, which may include surgery to remove the tumor.
