So, I'm on day 12 after my tonsillectomy and up until yesterday, it seemed like almost all the scabs were gone and my throat looked mostly pink. But today, I've noticed that this white stuff is showing up again. Should I be worried about that or is it normal?

It is normal to see some white patches reappear in your throat after a tonsillectomy, even after the scabs have fallen off. This could be due to the healing process and is usually not a cause for concern. However, if you experience severe pain, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing, it is important to contact your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can continue to manage your symptoms with pain relief medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as prescribed by your doctor.

View allI'm having a problem with my right earit feels blocked, and I can hardly hear anything out of it. This has been going on for three days now and it all started suddenly when I woke up one morning. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Right ear blockage can be due to various reasons such as earwax buildup, fluid accumulation, or an ear infection. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help soften the earwax and clear the blockage. You can also try using a warm compress on the ear to relieve any discomfort. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

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?
