I'm really worried about this white spot on my tonsil. I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort, but I can't help but wonder if it might be something serious like cancer or another disease. Could you please help me understand what it might be?

Seek immediate medical attention.

In the meantime, try:

Drink a glass of water to help dislodge the bone

Eat a small amount of soft food like banana or bread

Avoid coughing or gagging, which can push the bone further

A doctor or ENT specialist can:

Visually examine your throat

Use specialized instruments to remove the bone

Provide pain relief medication if needed

I'm dealing with this swelling near my tonsils for three months now. My ENT believes it's GERD, and I've been on medication for it. But now, there's swelling in my neck area as well. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm wondering what tests I should consider next. Any advice on how to proceed?

I've been experiencing some pain when I chew or eat, and it's been going on for about 56 days now in my right ear. At first, I thought it might have something to do with my teeth, but I can clearly feel it's an ear pain. Can you help me figure out what's causing this or what I should do about it?

I've been dealing with throat infections and a cough since January 17th, and it's really frustrating. My voice keeps getting hoarse, especially after I have ice cream or cold fruits. What's weird is that now my voice sounds hoarse even without a throat infection. I'm worried and not sure why this is happening. Could it be something more?
