Question

I'm noticing a whooshing sound in my right ear that's in sync with my heartbeat. It seems to get louder whenever I run or climb stairs. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

Consider a second opinion from another ENT specialist or a maxillofacial surgeon. Discuss:

  1. Repeat imaging tests (MRIultrasound) to monitor gland size.
  2. Salivary gland function tests (e.g., salivary flow rate).
  3. Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to rule out underlying conditions.

Explore treatment options, such as:

  1. Medications to reduce gland size.
  2. Surgical interventions (e.g., parotidectomy).
  3. Lifestyle modifications (e.g., dietary changes, stress management).

Question

I had throat pain a few days ago, and though that's gotten better, I've started having this cough. Also, I noticed a small flap-like skin beneath my tongue, deep in my throat. I think it's my epiglottis. Is it normal to be able to see the epiglottis? I don't seem to have any other symptoms but just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about.
