I'm dealing with some pretty bad swelling just below the right side of my jaw, and I'm wondering if it's because of tonsilitis. Is this something serious? The pain in my throat is terrible, and swallowing is almost unbearable right now. I've started on augmentin, reswas, and hexidime gargle on my doctor's advice. Any ideas on how long this swelling might last or if I should be more worried?

I'm really worried because I've had a throat infection for the past week. This seems to happen whenever I stop taking the Almox 500 capsules that I've been on for a while now. I went to a doctor, but it didn't really make a difference. What could be going on? Is there something else I should be doing?

I've been dealing with severe nasal blockage and loud snoring, and my ENT doctor recommended surgery. I'm hesitant to go under the knife since I'm also overweight and trying to lose weight. Could yoga actually help clear my nasal blockage permanently and reduce my snoring? The snoring is really disruptive and uncomfortable for me. What are my options besides surgery?
