Question

I've been dealing with silent reflux for the past 4 months, and nothing seems to help not even medications like esomeprazole, pantoprazole, or antacids. I've tried lifestyle changes too, but my sore throat won't go away, and my voice keeps getting worse because of vocal cord damage. I've heard mixed opinions about surgery for LPR some say it doesn't work. What do you suggest I do?

Question

My preauricular pit keeps getting infected and it's really annoying. A doctor mentioned surgery to close it permanently but I'm worried about the cost and possible complications. What should I expect if I go through with it?

Question

I've noticed this small, hard lump kind of thing near my jawline. It doesn't hurt on its own, but touching it is really painful. I also saw two hairs growing there. Should I see an ENT doctor or a dentist for this?
