I've had these red and white bumps at the back of my throat where my tonsils were removed back in 2011. They showed up with a sore throat which is gone now, but the bumps haven't disappeared. Is there anything I can do to make them go away?

You seem to be suffering from granular pharyngitis which usually occurs secondary chronic irritation of the pharynx such as reflux laryngopharyngitis, post nasal discharge, recurrent pharyngitis etc. If you do not have any symptoms then you need not worry about it

I've been feeling some pressure on the left side of my throat lately, and it's kind of hard to breathe at times, which makes me want to cough. There's this strange feeling on the left side of my chest too sometimes. I can still take deep breaths without any issues, but my pulse can be a bit high, like around 100 beats a minute. Generally, my health is fine, and the only medication I'm on is birth control pills. Should I be concerned about this? I'm traveling abroad right now and will be for the next two weeks, so I'm wondering if I need to do something about it or can wait until I'm back home.

I have a hole in my right middle ear and I'm worried about the complications it might cause. Can it heal naturally with things like steam or other home remedies? How serious is the surgery for this and what's the procedure like? I'd really prefer a natural way to fix it if possible.
A hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) can heal on its own, especially if it's small or caused by a recent injury or infection. However, most cases, especially those involving larger holes, require surgical repair. While home remedies like steam or other similar treatments won't heal the hole, they can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of infection. If the hole doesn't heal on its own or causes significant hearing loss, surgery (tympanoplasty) may be necessary
