I've been noticing these holes in my tonsils for a while now, and it seems like they're getting worse. Is this something that happens normally, or should I be thinking about getting my tonsils removed?

It is normal.. Unless you are getting recurrent infection you need not remove

I'm experiencing this weird echo whenever I talk. It's like I'm hearing my own voice bouncing back at me, and I can hear it when others speak too. If I close one ear, it feels clogged, but at least the echo stops. But with both ears open, my left one feels blocked and the echo comes back. I'm not really sure what's going on. Do you think I should see an ENT specialist about this?

You can practice Valsalva for a better result, if its becoming worse visit ENT docotor for appropriate management.

I'm dealing with positional vertigo and it's got me wondering, could this turn into something serious down the line? Also, is there a way to completely cure it? My doctor suggested I get a VEMP test done, and I'm not sure how necessary that is. Any insights would be really helpful!
