I've got a partial perforation in my eardrum, with about 50% of it affected. I'm really worried about how long it might take to heal. Can you give me some insight into the healing process and time frame?

Question

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 42 and has been noticing a bit of blood when he spits, especially in the morning before he brushes his teeth. Any idea what might be causing this?

I'm really struggling with having a very low voice and it's been challenging for me to speak loudly in public situations. When I try to raise my voice, I get tired really quickly, like in just a few minutes. It's been tough during meetings because my voice just doesn't carry well. Could you give me some guidance on how to improve my vocal strength or manage this issue better? I'm looking for any tips or advice you might have.

Question

I'm having some trouble with pain on the left side of my throat, where my food pipe is. It's really noticeable when I'm jogging and taking in air; it hurts quite a bit. The pain seems to stick around throughout the day too. Sometimes it even makes my left ear hurt a little. Any ideas on what this could be or how to deal with it?
