I've been dealing with a runny nose recently, and while that's gotten better, now I've got this weird issue with my throat that seems like an infection. It's causing some pretty bad pain in my ear, especially around the area just behind my last tooth on the right side. I'm really getting worried. Could it be all connected somehow?

It sounds like you may have developed a throat infection which is causing ear pain. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help soothe your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm noticing some vertical purple veins next to my tonsils and the back of my throat looks inflamed. There's also a mild pain when I swallow. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that can resolve on its own?

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery

I've noticed a single white spot on my left tonsil for about two months now. There's no pain or anything, and I'm familiar with tonsil stones, but this doesn't seem like that. What could it possibly be? Could it be something I should be worried about?

I'm really worried because I had a tympanoplasty before, and it didn't work out. The doctors mentioned that if I decide to try again, there's only a 50% chance of success. I'm feeling unsure about what to do next. Could you provide some guidance on this situation?
