I've noticed this lump on my left tonsil that's been there for about 2 years now. It's painless, but I've got these tonsil stones. I'm really not sure what's going on. I should mention that I'm a smoker too. Should I be worried, or is this something that can just happen?

I've been diagnosed with a perforated eardrum in my right ear, and my doctor recommended surgery. Are there any non-surgical treatments like homeopathy that could help fix this? Also, is it safe to travel by plane with this condition or should I avoid flying?

Mild cases may heal on their own, but larger perforations often need surgery; avoid air travel till cleared.

I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone last night. It didn't hurt going down, but I'm just a bit worried if it might cause me any trouble later on. I had some hot water afterward. Should I be concerned about this?

Usually it will be passed out in your faeces and doesnt cause any problem,no need to worry you can forget about that.

I'm experiencing this ringing noise in my left ear. It was clogged before, but after taking medication, the blockage cleared up. Still, the ringing persists. Also, whenever I open my mouth, there's this clicking sound from the left side of my jaw. Could this be something related to my ear or jaw? And should I see an ENT specialist or a different kind of doctor for this issue?

Consume warm foods and practice valsalva for better results.
