Question

I'm Zac and I've been having some issues lately. My tonsils have turned a yellow color, and it's been going on for a few days now. They seem to be getting worse, and there are more spots than before. About a month ago, I had a lot of swelling and pain in the same area. I'm really worried about what's causing all this. Any advice?

Pain in the jaw and throat area can be puzzling. Tonsillitis typically causes sore throat, fever, and difficulty swallowing. Your symptoms, focused on the outer throat and jaw, might suggest alternative causes: - Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder - Jaw alignment issues - Referred pain from dental problems Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a dentist for a thorough evaluation.

I've been dealing with a mild DNS on the left side and have had a constant cold. Since the end of May, I've started getting nosebleeds, sometimes up to 4-5 times a day. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing these symptoms, and what can I do about it?

Question

I've had a sinus infection since I was 16, and I've tried so many antibiotics like Cefixime, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin, and Azithromycin, but none of them are working for me anymore. I'm really stuck and unsure of what to try next. Is there any other treatment I could consider?

Question

So, a doctor pulled on my larynx about a month ago, and ever since, I've been a bit worried if that caused any kind of trauma. I didn't notice any physical symptoms right after, but a few days later, I started feeling some discomfort inside my neck. I'm also wondering if this clicking sensation I've been feeling was always there or if I'm just more aware of it now. When I turn my head to the right or left, there's this silent clicking on the right side of my larynx. Could this be something I should be concerned about?
