I've been dealing with a sore throat for the last month and a half, and I've noticed these red bumps at the back of my throat. It feels like something's stuck there every time I swallow. Plus, there's some weird growth of flesh on both sides of my tonsils. What's going on here?

It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic tonsillitis with the symptoms you described. I recommend you start with a course of antibiotics to help clear the infection. You can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges like Strepsils to help soothe your throat. It's important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body fight off the infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

Keep your ear dry and avoid swimming, showering, and submerging your head in water for at least two weeks after your procedure. Use ear drops or ointment as directed by your doctor.

Why am I having a clear fluid coming out of my nose whenever I bend forward? I've never experienced this before. I'm not on medication, not sick, and I don't have a cold or cough. I'm a 24-year-old unmarried woman and a bit concerned. Any idea what's going on?

I'm feeling a bit concerned because a long time ago, I got a piece of paper stuck in my left ear, and I thought it might have dissolved into earwax over the years. A few months back, I went to the doctor, and their assistant only removed some wax and prescribed some medicines. Lately, it feels like that paper might still be lodged in there, and I'm also experiencing tinnitus. Is there a way to check and remove this without using syringing? Im not too keen on syringing because Im doubtful of its effectiveness. What would you recommend?
