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'm really worried because after I cleaned my ear and started using the antibiotic ear drops like I was told, some of the drops ended up in my mouth. Now I'm also feeling this burning sensation deep inside my ear. What should I do about this?

That's common no need to worry follow your doctor advice

I've been dealing with blocked ears and sharp shooting pain for about a month now. There have been times I hear sounds in my ear too. Steaming has helped open up my left ear, but my right ear still feels blocked and painful sometimes. I tried using soliwax, but it just made my ears ring. My hearing seems fine, though. Any suggestions on what I should do next? I'm really looking for some guidance.

Practice valsalva manoeuvre it would resolve,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I had DNS surgery two days ago and now I'm getting mild to moderate pain right in the center of my forehead when I press there, sometimes even without pressing. There's also pain behind my eyes and my nose feels really dry inside. Is this normal after surgery or should I be worried?

Yes, experiencing mild to moderate pain in your forehead, behind your eyes, and a dry nose after DNS surgery is generally normal within the first few days post-operation. This is often due to inflammation, swelling, and the healing process of the tissues
