I'm really worried about what's going on with me. I woke up on Sunday with a sore throat and now both my tonsils are super swollen, red, and have these white spots all over them. Plus, my uvula has these weird red dots. Swallowing is so painful, and my lymph nodes are really tender. What could be causing all this and should I be worried?

Unsettling ear sounds can be disturbing!
The "gu gu gu" or motor-like sound in your right ear could be:
- Tinnitus: A common condition characterized by ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ear.
- Eustachian tube dysfunction: The tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the throat might be blocked, causing unusual sounds.
- Earwax buildup: Excess earwax can cause strange noises, especially when lying down.
- Middle ear muscle spasms: Tiny muscles in the middle ear can contract and cause sounds.
To alleviate the issue:
- Consult an ENT specialist: For a thorough examination and diagnosis.
- Try ear drops: To help dissolve excess earwax.
- Use a white noise machine: To mask the sound while sleeping.
- Avoid loud noises: And take regular breaks in quiet environments.
Keep in mind that these sounds can be intermittent and might resolve on their own. However, it's essential to consult a specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm really worried because I got a cotton wool bud stuck in my ear. The doctor couldnt get it out since its so close to my eardrum, and now Im just waiting for the hospital to contact me for an appointment. But now I've come down with a sore throat and a headache. Could these symptoms be because my ear is blocked?
Having a sore throat and headache is unlikely to directly cause your ear to be blocked by the cotton wool bud. However, it is possible that the blocked ear, along with the discomfort and stress associated with it, could be contributing to your sore throat and headache. It is important to address the blocked ear as soon as possible to prevent any further complications. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication such as paracetamol for your headache and sore throat.

I've been dealing with a DNS issue for a long time and have had multiple surgeries, but it's still not fixed. I visited Apollo Hospital, and the doctor recommended another surgery. My DNS is deviated to the right side, blocking my right nostril, making it hard to breathe properly. Because of this, I feel like my body isn't getting enough oxygen, so I end up breathing quickly or panting. Is surgery the only option, or are there other treatments that could help?
To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.
