I've just been to an ENT to get the ear wax removed, and now I'm getting this buzzing sound in my ear. Also, the tragus on my left ear hurts when I touch it. I'm really worried about this. Do you think my tinnitus will ever go away?

Yellowish bumps at the back of the throat and a white mouth can be concerning.

Possible causes:

  • Oral thrush (fungal infection)
  • Tonsillitis (bacterial or viral)
  • Leukoplakia (harmless white patches)

Consult a doctor or an ENT specialist for:

  • Proper examination and diagnosis
  • Prescription medication (if necessary)
  • Guidance on oral hygiene and care

Maintain good oral hygiene, and avoid smoking or tobacco products.

I'm having some trouble with my voiceit feels like I need to put in extra effort to speak, and it weakens after a while. This has been happening for about three months now. I also feel a constant dry and burning sensation in my throat, especially tough in the morning when I can't speak until I've had some water. I've tried voice adduction therapy as suggested by my speech therapist, but it hasn't really worked. Is there any way I could reach out to you through Skype for some advice?
