Question

I'm dealing with some pretty bad swelling just below the right side of my jaw, and I'm wondering if it's because of tonsilitis. Is this something serious? The pain in my throat is terrible, and swallowing is almost unbearable right now. I've started on augmentin, reswas, and hexidime gargle on my doctor's advice. Any ideas on how long this swelling might last or if I should be more worried?

Question

I've been having this weird sensation on the left side of my throat, and its kind of bothering me. It's not painful or anything when I eat or drink, but it just feels odd. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

Question

I'm having some trouble with my voiceit feels like I need to put in extra effort to speak, and it weakens after a while. This has been happening for about three months now. I also feel a constant dry and burning sensation in my throat, especially tough in the morning when I can't speak until I've had some water. I've tried voice adduction therapy as suggested by my speech therapist, but it hasn't really worked. Is there any way I could reach out to you through Skype for some advice?

Question

I'm dealing with this annoying dryness in my throat and mouth every early morning around 4 or 5 am since November. I saw a doctor and had my blood sugar tested through a urine testit was normal. The meds helped for a week, but then the dryness came back. Also, I have this long-term nasal blockage since 2011 after a viral fever. I cant smell much unless my nasal passage clears up or during a cold. Plus, I catch a cold every month or two. I'm confused about who to see for this issue because online it seems like these symptoms could be throat infection, prediabetes, or sinus problems. Could you guide me on which specialist to consult and the right treatment to pursue?
