I'm dealing with a sore throat and did some hot water and salt gargling. Just wondering, after doing that, how long should I wait before eating?

3-5mins gap is enough, consume warm foods for better results.

I'm 21 and recently got a small tear in my eardrum because of water from a pond. I've noticed that water is frequently leaking from my ear now. My doctor recommended that I take serlox D, ceferite 500, montas L, and pentab 40. Do you think these medicines will actually help with my condition?

The medications prescribed by your doctor seem appropriate for managing the ear infection, preventing complications, and supporting healing. Make sure to adhere to the treatment plan and avoid water exposure to your ear until the eardrum has healed. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, be sure to follow up with your doctor.

I'm a bit concerned because I have this white spot on my right tonsil. There's no pain or fever with it, but I'm still curious about what it could be. Should I be worried about it, or is it something that's generally harmless?

If it is not causing any symptoms forget about it and maintain oral hygiene.
