View allI'm a 27-year-old male, and something really strange has been happening for the past two days. When I try to inflate my mouth like I'm blowing up a balloon, this little area in my right jaw puffs up too. It's a super weird sensation, something I've never felt before. And when I massage the area right below my right ear, I can hear a kind of air bubble popping sound. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
The unusual sensation of a pocket inflating in your right jaw when filling air in your mouth, accompanied by an air-bubble-popping sound when massaging the area, may indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a blocked salivary gland, or a rare condition like pneumoparotitis; consult a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

My ENT specialist diagnosed me with grade 4 tonsillitis and recommended surgery. I'm worried is surgery really necessary at my age? Could there be any long-term issues if I delay or avoid it?
A Grade 4 tonsillectomy recommendation by your ENT specialist, especially if it's for recurrent tonsillitis, is often a serious consideration. While surgery might seem daunting, delaying or avoiding it could lead to persistent or severe complications, and it's crucial to have an open discussion with your doctor about your concerns.
