I've been told I need to get a tonsillectomy and I'm kind of anxious about it. Are there any risks or side effects I should be worried about? Is it really safe to go through with the tonsillectomy?

Question

I've been dealing with this fever, cough, and cold situation, and while I've started taking meds, my sore throat just won't go away. I had some cucumber and tomato raita last night, and I'm worried if they might be making my throat worse. Could those foods be affecting my recovery?

Question

I've been noticing a weird smell in both my nose and mouth, and it's really bothering me. It's like an irritating scent that just wont go away. I even tried applying Vicks, but the smell still comes back. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can get rid of it?

Question

I was worried that I might have been exposed to COVID, so I used a liquid sanitizer on my nostrils out of fear. Now I can't smell or taste anything. I'm worried it's permanent. Is there a chance my sense of smell will come back?
