Doctor I just found out I have tonsils and I'm thinking about getting surgery to remove them. How long will it take to recover after the surgery? Will I be able to talk normally right away? I work night shifts and can't really take time off so I'm worried about how this will affect my job. How well does recovery usually go?

I'm experiencing pain in my throat whenever I swallow saliva, but it seems to be less noticeable when I'm eating or drinking. The thing is, the pain shifts from one side to the other, sometimes on the right and then back to the left, and I'm also feeling a slight discomfort near my ear. Any advice on what might be going on?

I'm really struggling with a sore throat and it's becoming hard to swallow my saliva. I think it might be a bacterial infection. Do you have any suggestions on what medication I should take to feel better?

Throat pain and difficulty swallowing saliva could be a sign of a bacterial infection like strep throat. It's important to consult with a doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic like amoxicillin or azithromycin. In the meantime, you can use throat lozenges and warm saline gargles for relief.

I'm really struggling with a blocked nose because of my sinus issues, and it doesn't help that my nasal bone isn't straight. I'm not keen on the idea of surgery, so I've been using OTRIVIN nasal drops for some temporary relief. But it's getting so difficult to manage. Can you suggest any other alternatives or measures that might help? I'm desperate to find a better solution!
