I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing this weird burnt plastic smell and taste whenever she eats anything. It's like everything just tastes and smells like plastic to her, and raw veggies seem to be the worst. This all started about two weeks ago, and she doesn't have a cold, cough, or fever or anything like that. Now she's also feeling some pain in her left lower jaw since yesterday. Do you have any idea what this might be? Who should we talk to about getting this checked out?

Chia seeds do not directly stop periods, but they may help regulate menstrual cycles due to their high fiber and omega-3 fatty acid content. Delayed periods can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Since you've already taken Deviry and pregnancy tests are negative, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.

Question

I'm dealing with tonsil stones for the past year and I've noticed some small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove a few, but can't get rid of the ones on the outer part. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat, but I don't have any ear pain, fever, swelling, or sore throat. The only issue is a dry throat. What should I do next? How can I relieve this problem without surgery? I've been gargling with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis? Any advice would be really helpful.
