I've been feeling some pain just below my Adam's apple when I eat or drink lately. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to worry about what it could be. Is there a chance this might be some kind of cancer, or could it be something else?

My mom is 60 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. She's been dealing with really bad ear itching and when we saw an ENT specialist, they found holes in both eardrums. One doctor says she needs surgery on the right ear first then the left after 3 months, but another ENT said surgery isn't necessary at all. Really confused about what to do since we have the scan reports but getting conflicting opinions
It's understandable to be confused with conflicting medical opinions. While a perforated eardrum (a hole in the eardrum) can sometimes heal on its own, surgery (tympanoplasty) might be necessary, especially if the perforation doesn't heal within a few months or if it causes significant hearing loss or ear infections. Your mom's diabetes and high blood pressure could also influence the healing process and make it more important to address the perforation properly
