I've been having a really weird problem since I ate some tiny thin fish about three months ago. It feels like there's a bone or something sharp stuck behind my tonsil, and it's been bothering me every time I swallow. I went to see an ENT specialist, and they said there's nothing to worry about and that there's no fishbone there. But it seriously feels like something is poking me back there. It's driving me nuts. What could it be, and should I be worried about it since its been a long time now without improvement?

View allI've had a retention cyst on my true vocal cord that keeps coming back even after two MLS micro laryngeal surgeries one in Hyderabad in 2006 and another at Kims Trivendrum.

I'm a 27-year-old male, and something really strange has been happening for the past two days. When I try to inflate my mouth like I'm blowing up a balloon, this little area in my right jaw puffs up too. It's a super weird sensation, something I've never felt before. And when I massage the area right below my right ear, I can hear a kind of air bubble popping sound. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
The unusual sensation of a pocket inflating in your right jaw when filling air in your mouth, accompanied by an air-bubble-popping sound when massaging the area, may indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a blocked salivary gland, or a rare condition like pneumoparotitis; consult a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
