I'm having this constant pain in my ear, like right on that little flap part, the tragus. It really hurts, especially when I press on it. I'm worried and not sure what's causing it. What could be going on with my ear?

It sounds like you're experiencing pain in your tragus, which could be due to an infection, inflammation, or even pressure on the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like an ear infection or cartilage irritation.

I'm really worried about this polyp-type thing I discovered below my right tonsil. I've attached some images for you to see. There's a whitish thing in there too, it's just an earbud so please ignore that. Lately, I've been feeling this bump when I swallow and it's making me anxious if it's something serious or possibly malignant. I'm only 22 and it's been stressing me out. Could you help me understand what this might be?

I've been dealing with this weird smell in my nose that only I can feel, and it only happens when I exhale. It's not just a smell, it's like a warm sensation in my chest, but there's no real pain, just discomfort. I have a history of headaches that seem to be linked to weather changes and are usually one-sided or behind my eyes. I'm seeing an ENT who's given me antibiotics and an allergy spray, and there was a little improvement, but the smell came back around day eight of the ten-day antibiotic cycle. I also noticed that drinking coffee makes the smell worse. It's like a dusty, smoky, stuffy, warm odor, and it's almost like I can feel it too. My ENT is planning a CT scan of my sinuses and mentioned that everything looks good from the exams he did with a scope. I've done blood work and urine tests for STDs and other diseases and everything was negative. He mentioned the chance of a brain tumor is extremely slim based on the follow-ups and exams. I'm really puzzled and just want to figure out what this could be. How much further do I need to go to get some solid answers?

A contrast enhanced CT scan of your nose and paranasal sinuses should reveal the pathology.
