My ranula mucocele keeps shrinking and refilling but doesn't hurt or cause any issues - is surgery really needed if it's not bothering me? I'm nervous about going under the knife for something that seems harmless right now

I'm feeling a bit concerned because a long time ago, I got a piece of paper stuck in my left ear, and I thought it might have dissolved into earwax over the years. A few months back, I went to the doctor, and their assistant only removed some wax and prescribed some medicines. Lately, it feels like that paper might still be lodged in there, and I'm also experiencing tinnitus. Is there a way to check and remove this without using syringing? Im not too keen on syringing because Im doubtful of its effectiveness. What would you recommend?
