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?

I've been noticing these bumps in my throat and shared some pictures where they're circled. These bumps keep changing in size, and I've also got some middle ear effusion issues with my Eustachian tube. Sometimes, I feel a sore and burning sensation just on the right side, in both my throat and ear, which is the same side as the bump. I'm really starting to wonder if this is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Any thoughts?
