I've recently noticed a kind of white layer inside my ear, and I'm really worried about what it might be. Could it be a fungal infection? Would appreciate any advice you have on this.

Worrying symptoms.
Possible causes:
- Vitamin deficiencies: B12, vitamin D, or magnesium deficiencies can cause tingling, shaking, and fatigue.
- Nerve issues: Peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage, or pinched nerves can lead to tingling and shaking.
- Thyroid problems: Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can cause cold intolerance, fatigue, and weakness.
- Anemia: Low red blood cell count or iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, and cold intolerance.
- Autoimmune disorders: Conditions like multiple sclerosis, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis can cause numbness, tingling, and fatigue.
Consult a doctor to:
- Run diagnostic tests (blood work, nerve conduction studies)
- Discuss symptoms and medical history
- Determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan

My 4.5-year-old son has trouble breathing and always breathes through his mouth due to enlarged adenoids. The ENT recommended surgery. I want to understand the difference between normal surgery and coblation technique are there any side effects with coblation? Which one should we go for?
In an adenoidectomy, the main difference between the traditional method (curettage) and coblation technique lies in how the adenoid tissue is removed and the potential for residual tissue. Coblation, while sometimes considered more precise, can still have some side effects like bleeding and infection, and there's a small chance of adenoid regrowth. Ultimately, the best choice for your child depends on your ENT's expertise, your child's specific situation, and your comfort level with the risks and benefits of each technique.

I've been having a really weird problem since I ate some tiny thin fish about three months ago. It feels like there's a bone or something sharp stuck behind my tonsil, and it's been bothering me every time I swallow. I went to see an ENT specialist, and they said there's nothing to worry about and that there's no fishbone there. But it seriously feels like something is poking me back there. It's driving me nuts. What could it be, and should I be worried about it since its been a long time now without improvement?
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
