I've been dealing with this eustachian tube blockage for around 15 years now and it's really annoying. My ears always feel full, but there's no pain. It's messing with my hearing and making everything sound muffled. What can I do to get some relief?

A white spot on the tonsil can be caused by:

  • Tonsillitis
  • Oral thrush (fungal infection)
  • Leukoplakia (harmless condition)
  • Rarely, oral cancer

Consult an ENT specialist or a primary care physician for an evaluation.

They may perform:

  • Visual examination
  • Biopsy (if necessary)
  • Provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan

I've noticed a kind of swelling behind my uvula that I can feel with my tongue. Could this be nasal polyps or something else? I've been kind of worried about it and could use some advice on what this might be.

I've been dealing with this ear block on and off for the past couple of months. It seems to get worse when I'm talking at work, but it doesn't bother me at all in the mornings. Any idea what's going on with that? Would love some advice.

You need to get your ear and nose examined .The block could be due multiple reasons which need to be ruled out.

I'm really concerned about this ongoing soreness and scratchy feeling in my throat that I've had for the last four months. I've seen several ENT specialists, and each one seems to have a different take on it. One mentioned acid reflux but I don't actually feel any heartburn, while another pointed to post-nasal drip and after a CT scan said I have ethmoid sinusitis and inflammation in my throat. He mentioned surgery might be an option if medication doesn't help, which I'm really not eager for. Yet another doctor said it's just an infection, but that doesnt seem to explain everything, and I can't get rid of this nagging feeling. I went down a Google rabbit hole and read about persistent throat issues being linked to cancer. Could just a sore throat really mean something as serious as cancer?
