I'm really worried about my friend's ear pain. She's been dealing with it for over a year, and every time we consulted a doctor, they just recommended cleaning. But last week, she was out of town and in a lot of pain, so she saw another doctor who found a small hole in her eardrum and suggested surgery. Im wondering if surgery is really necessary or if there are other options. Could you give some advice on this situation?

I've been having a sore throat for about three weeks, along with ear pain and swelling on one side of my neck. I've also got tonsil stones, super dry mouth, and I noticed red bumps at the back of my throat and on my tongue. Theres a bit of thrush too. Could all of this be related to candida?

It looks like acute tonsillitis with pharyngitis.

I'm dealing with an issue where there's a gap in my left vocal cord. The good news is that it's still vibrating, but this gap has been causing hoarseness in my voice for about a year now. My doctor suggested I take Neurozan to help strengthen my veins, and just to note, I don't smoke. I'm curious if there are other treatments or options I should consider?
