My uvula is looking really red and I can see a lot of veins on it. There's also a small sore on the side. I don't have a fever, but it feels really dry and uncomfortable in the mornings. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening for quite a while now. Whenever I chew my food or drink something, I notice this buzzing sound in my right ear. It starts internally and stops about 10-15 seconds after I stop chewing. This has been going on for about 45 months, and I'm wondering what's causing it and if there's a way to stop it. Any insights?

The buzzing sound you're experiencing in your right ear when chewing could be related to Eustachian tube dysfunction, TMJ disorder, or even tinnitus. These conditions are often treatable, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen. The doctor can help determine the exact cause and recommend the appropriate treatment for you.

My doctor says I need tonsil surgery but I'm really hesitant because I've heard there can be long-term side effects Are there any other treatment options I could try instead of going straight to surgery

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
