I'm really worried because I've had this lump feeling in the back of my throat and mouth for about three months now. I've also noticed some white spots back there. My doctor mentioned it could be pharyngitis, but even after three months of medication, that feeling hasnt gone away. Now I've started having neck and back pain, and there's this weird sweet and sour taste in my mouth. Im feeling pretty confused and scared about all this. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

I tried to take a video, and it looks like there's something white in my ear. Could this be an infection or something else? Should I be concerned?

I've had two Tympanoplasty surgeries, one in 2011 that didn't work out and then another in 2014 after having sinus surgery and surgery for a deviated nasal septum. The doctor said back then that I shouldnt swim for the rest of my life because of the ear infections. Its been a few years now and I'm wondering if its still risky to swim or if things might have changed with my ear health?
It is important to follow the advice of your doctor after Tympanoplasty, especially if there have been complications such as infections in the past. Swimming can introduce water into the ear canal, which may increase the risk of infection or damage to the eardrum. To protect your ear health, it is advisable to avoid swimming or to use ear protection such as earplugs while swimming.
