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.

It's difficult to definitively diagnose whether your nasal issue is polyps or swollen turbinates without a visual examination. However, the symptoms you've described (sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, and sometimes a blocked throat) are common in both conditions, particularly when associated with allergic rhinitis, which you've also mentioned. Treatment options beyond surgery for both nasal polyps and turbinate hypertrophy include medications and lifestyle changes
