Question

I'm really frustrated because my tonsils have a bunch of holes from these annoying tonsil stones. It's so irritating. If I get my tonsils taken out, will it solve this issue?

If you are experiencing recurrent issues with tonsil stones and they are significantly impacting your quality of life, a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils) may be considered. This procedure can help alleviate the problem of tonsil stones by removing the source of their formation. Discuss with an ENT specialist about the possibility of a tonsillectomy and if it is the right option for you.

Question

I'm dealing with Granular pharyngitis and my throat hurts a lot, almost once every one or two months. It's super painful and usually takes around a week to feel better. I had my tonsils taken out like 10-12 years ago. Is there any way to get rid of this for good? Or if not, what's the best next step I can take?

Question

I accidentally took two Sinarest tablets just a few minutes apart because I forgot I had already taken one. My prescription says to take one in the morning and one at night. Could this be a big problem? I'm really worried. What should I do?

Question

I've been having a really weird problem since I ate some tiny thin fish about three months ago. It feels like there's a bone or something sharp stuck behind my tonsil, and it's been bothering me every time I swallow. I went to see an ENT specialist, and they said there's nothing to worry about and that there's no fishbone there. But it seriously feels like something is poking me back there. It's driving me nuts. What could it be, and should I be worried about it since its been a long time now without improvement?
