I've had these red bumps in the back of my throat for over 2 months now and they're just spreading more and more. It's honestly pretty scary. Do you have any idea what could be causing this or how I can treat it? I'm really worried it's something serious.

I've been feeling like something is moving in my ear while I'm eating, and it's been happening for two days now. It comes and goes, and though it's not painful, it's making me really uneasy. What should I do? I really need some advice on this.

I've noticed a single white spot on my left tonsil for about two months now. There's no pain or anything, and I'm familiar with tonsil stones, but this doesn't seem like that. What could it possibly be? Could it be something I should be worried about?

So, I had a tympanoplasty type 1 ear surgery back on May 10, 2018, and my doctor removed some gel forms on June 5, but mentioned there's still a bit left on my eardrum. They can't clear it yet 'cause the doc's on leave, and advised me to use otocin o ear drops, four drops daily, until then. My worry is, when I put the ear drops in before bed, they don't seem to drain properly. Even after sleeping for 7 to 8 hours, the drops just come out when I wake up. Is it okay for the medicine to stay in my ear for that long, or should I be worried about how they're not draining? How long are ear drops typically supposed to stay in the ear anyway?
