I've noticed that one side of my soft palate seems to rise whenever I try to spit, and it's pretty painful. But oddly enough, I don't feel any pain when I'm swallowing food or drinks. What could be causing this?

If a hole in your eardrum (ruptured eardrum) doesn't heal on its own, surgery might be needed to repair it. The most common surgical procedure is called tympanoplasty or myringoplasty, where a patch of tissue is used to cover the hole. While some cases heal without treatment, surgery is often required if the eardrum doesn't heal within a few months or if complications like infection or hearing loss occur

I'm really frustrated because my tonsils have a bunch of holes from these annoying tonsil stones. It's so irritating. If I get my tonsils taken out, will it solve this issue?

If you are experiencing recurrent issues with tonsil stones and they are significantly impacting your quality of life, a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils) may be considered. This procedure can help alleviate the problem of tonsil stones by removing the source of their formation. Discuss with an ENT specialist about the possibility of a tonsillectomy and if it is the right option for you.
