I've been having this odd, crawling sensation in both of my ears. It constantly feels like there's dust or maybe even an insect inside them. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common that can be easily fixed?

Question

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing this weird burnt plastic smell and taste whenever she eats anything. It's like everything just tastes and smells like plastic to her, and raw veggies seem to be the worst. This all started about two weeks ago, and she doesn't have a cold, cough, or fever or anything like that. Now she's also feeling some pain in her left lower jaw since yesterday. Do you have any idea what this might be? Who should we talk to about getting this checked out?

Question

I've been dealing with a lot of earwax in my right ear, and after seeing a doctor, they gave me ear drops for 10 days specifically for that ear. In September, they used micro suction to clear it out, which was fine at first, but now I notice this constant 'teeee' tinnitus sound in my right ear. It was really faint at first, but now, in late October, it's become a lot more noticeable, especially when I'm in a quiet place or trying to sleep. I'm worriedis this something that will go away on its own, or could it be due to some kind of injury from the procedure? Also, should I be taking any specific medicine to help with this? Its only happening in the ear where the wax was removed, and I didnt have this issue right after the procedure. What do you think?

Question

I've noticed this white spot on my left tonsil for the past couple of days. There's no pain, no swelling, no sore throat or fever, and I've never had any issues with my tonsils before. This is the first time seeing something like this, and I'm a bit concerned. Could you help me understand what it might be?
