I've been experiencing this weird crackling sound in my left ear whenever I swallow food. Sometimes it happens in my right ear too. I also notice it when I blow air through my mouth or even while I'm speaking. It's really starting to worry me. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?

I've been having a sore throat for about three weeks, along with ear pain and swelling on one side of my neck. I've also got tonsil stones, super dry mouth, and I noticed red bumps at the back of my throat and on my tongue. Theres a bit of thrush too. Could all of this be related to candida?

It looks like acute tonsillitis with pharyngitis.
