I've been feeling something stuck in my throat, like a spike or something pointy, and it just won't dissolve or go away no matter what I eat or drink. It's unsettling because it keeps rubbing against the walls of my throat near the end of my tongue. What could this be, and how should I deal with it?

I've got a pleomorphic adenoma on my left parotid gland again since 2010. I recently went through Sonography, FNAC, and a CT Scan, and they all say it's still there. Everything else around it seems normal, thankfully. My doctors are advising me to go for a Parotidectomy. I'm feeling a bit unsure and worried about this. Could anyone offer some guidance on what I should consider before making a decision?
The most common treatment for a parotid gland adenoma is surgery to remove the tumor, a procedure called a parotidectomy

I've had small holes near my ears since I was a kid and never knew what they were. Recently I noticed that when I press near the holes, some fluid comes out. I read online that these might need surgery if infected - how can I tell if mine are infected or something serious? The fluid thing is making me a bit worried.
Those small holes near your ears sound like preauricular pits, which are usually harmless congenital features. If the area becomes red, swollen, painful, or if the fluid is thick, yellow, or has a bad smell, it may be infected and needs medical attention. If you experience recurrent infections or discomfort, surgery might be considered. I recommend seeing a doctor for an evaluation to be sure.
