I've been dealing with a swollen left lingual tonsil for about a month now. Initially, it wasn't painful, but now I'm feeling some discomfort when I swallow and I have ear pain too. There are also these white spots on it. I'm a pretty heavy smoker. What could this mean and what should I do?

Question

I'm experiencing vertigo and whenever I take vertin 8mg, I have trouble breathing. What should I do about this? Could it be a side effect? Please help.

I've got this weird thing where the skin is kind of hanging from the tip of my uvula, and it's touching my tongue. It's giving me this constant tickling sensation. There's no swelling or anything, but it's pretty annoying. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

Question

I'm having some issues with my voice. Sometimes, people can't hear me well, and other times it sounds like my voice splits into two different tonesone thin and one thick. It's been quite confusing, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could it be something serious, or is there a simple explanation for this?
