I keep getting pain on the right side of my throat and sometimes it's hard to talk. I also feel like vomiting and the muscles in that area keep pulling. The doctor said it might be because of tonsils and suggested surgery. What will happen if I don't get my tonsils removed?

I understand your symptoms. However I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through 1. The duration of your symptoms and the severity of pain 2. Associated ear pain, cold or cough 3. Any symptoms of acidity or reflux as this is a very common cause of throat pain

I'm feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat. It seems to get better when I eat something hot or drink hot water. I saw a GP and got some Coldact and an acidity tablet, but I'm not understanding why it keeps coming back. Any ideas on what could be going on?

I've been struggling for a while with some leftover symptoms from the flu I had about 3 weeks back. The fever and body aches are gone, but the sore throat and ear ache just won't quit. Now, I've also got this annoying muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. I tried taking Cataflam, and it seemed to work wonders for about 2-3 days, but now it does nothing, even when I take one every day. There's still a bit of a stuffy nose hanging around too. It's weird because I don't have tonsils anymore, so I'm just wondering what's going on. Any advice on what this could be or what I should do next?

I'm curious about something that's been bothering me. Whenever I sneeze, I notice a metallic taste in my mouth, almost like blood, and it comes with dizziness, facial pain, abdominal pain, and nausea. It's pretty concerning. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
