I've got a situation with an enlarged submandibular gland that showed up as 11cm on the ultrasound. It's strange because there's no pain or swelling when I eat. I've been on Amoxy-Clav and Tibrolin tablets for about 12 days now, but there hasn't been any change. What could be going on, and should I be worried about this lack of improvement?

I've been experiencing this really odd crackling sound in my ears for over two years now. Whenever I swallow, speak, or even move the muscles in my ears, there's this popping or crisping noise. It started after I went scuba diving and I've also listened to a lot of loud music in the past. I've seen a doctor about it, but they said everything seems fine. I'm just not sure why both my ears still make these sounds. Do you have any thoughts on what it might be? Are there any over-the-counter treatments, herbs, or supplements that could help with this?

When the Eustachian tube doesn't open or close properly, it can cause crackling or popping sounds in the ear. so consult ENT surgeon for the same
