My wife has been dealing with some really bothersome throat pain and we're not sure what's going on. We've tried giving her some tablets, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. She also has this really bad cough that's worrying us. Could you help us figure out what's happening?

Your wife's throat pain and bad cough could be symptoms of a sore throat, also known as pharyngitis, which is usually caused by a viral infection like the common cold or flu. It's possible that the tablets she took didn't provide relief because they might not have addressed the underlying cause.

Question

There's this recurring swelling under my jaw, on the left side, that's been really worrying me. It seems to get hard and painful as it grows. Whenever I take antibiotics, the swelling decreases but never fully goes away, and it pops back up, especially after I eat non-veg food. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

Question

My son's recent x-ray report shows he has severe adenoid hypertrophy, and the doctor suggested surgery. I'm really worried and wondering if there's any treatment option other than surgery. Also, if we do go the surgery route, is it a permanent solution, or is there a possibility that the problem might come back later?

Question

I'm having a bit of a hard time with my head feeling heavy and one of my ears being blocked for the last couple of days. It's kind of bothersome, and it's been causing some pain around my forehead and eyes too. Ive been told I have raised IgE levels, and I'm already using a nasal corticosteroid as part of my treatment. Could this be related? I'd appreciate some guidance on what might be going on.
