I've noticed that the upper back part of my throat is swollen. It seemed to have gotten a bit better over the last couple of days, but it's still noticeable. I'm curious about whether this is something normal or if it's a sign of a more serious issue. Could you share some remedies or advice on what I should do about it?

I've been hearing this continuous beep in my right ear since yesterday evening, and it just won't stop, not even for a second. I tried using the ear drops you mentioned last night, but it didn't make a difference. I'm wondering what could be causing this and what steps I should take next. Im 30 and havent had any major medical issues or allergies before. Could you help me figure this out?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I had a mastoidectomy tympanoplasty about three weeks back, and ever since, I've been hearing these dub dub sounds every now and then. But since yesterday, I've been hearing it a lot more, and just today, it went on for about 20-30 minutes straight. There's no pain, but I'm really curious about why this is happening. It seems to get worse when I'm traveling, especially if there are potholes on the road. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
