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?

View allI'm really worried about my son. He's been having issues with his adenoids for the past year, and he's just 4 and a half. Sometimes he struggles to breathe through his mouth. The doctor mentioned surgery might be the best option. Im curious, whats the newest and safest type of adenoidectomy? Do you think going through with this surgery is a smart move?
For a 4.6-year-old child, adenoidectomy surgery is a common and relatively safe procedure to relieve breathing difficulties, ear infections, and sinus issues caused by enlarged adenoids. The latest and safest type of adenoidectomy surgery is often performed endoscopically through the nose and oral cavity, with minimal blood loss and complications. Benefits of Adenoidectomy Surgery: - Relief from breathing difficulties: Enlarged adenoids can cause nasal obstruction, leading to mouth breathing, which can affect your child's sleep, growth, and development. - Reduced risk of ear and sinus infections: Enlarged adenoids can increase the risk of ear and sinus infections, which can lead to hearing loss, speech delays, and other complications. - Improved sleep quality: Adenoidectomy surgery can help improve your child's sleep quality by relieving nasal obstruction and promoting better breathing.

I'm experiencing this strange cold minty sensation below my throat whenever I breathe in. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
there can be the possibility of Acid reflux and GERD The digestive acid in the stomach irritates the lining of the esophagus, causing an unpleasant cool or burning sensation that begins in the upper stomach and may spread up into the throat

I've been feeling like there's an air bubble stuck in my throat for the last couple of weeks, and it's not going away. There's also a lump on one of my tonsils and it seems bigger than usual. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?
The persistent air bubble sensation in your throat and the enlarged tonsil lump warrant medical attention; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist
