I've been dealing with something really weird and it's got me a bit concerned. So, a few times now, I've coughed up this big, white, cheese-like chunk that smells terrible. I had to vomit a few times to get it out, and it's left me with some congestion in my throat. It was massive, white, and I'm not sure if it's coming from my stomach or somewhere in my throat. I haven't had any cheese or paneer recently, so I'm puzzled. There's no pain, fever, or anything like that, but I'm unsure if it could be a tonsil stone, though it was really big. Any ideas on what's happening here?

I'm Zac and I've been having some issues lately. My tonsils have turned a yellow color, and it's been going on for a few days now. They seem to be getting worse, and there are more spots than before. About a month ago, I had a lot of swelling and pain in the same area. I'm really worried about what's causing all this. Any advice?

Pain in the jaw and throat area can be puzzling. Tonsillitis typically causes sore throat, fever, and difficulty swallowing. Your symptoms, focused on the outer throat and jaw, might suggest alternative causes: - Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder - Jaw alignment issues - Referred pain from dental problems Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a dentist for a thorough evaluation.

I'm feeling this heaviness in my left ear after I got slapped, and it just feels sort of blank. There's this dull, heavy sensation and a little bit of pain. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

I had a road accident and ended up with a longitudinal temporal bone fracture and LMN facial palsy. I've attached my CT scan do you think conservative treatment would work or would I need surgery?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
