I'm dealing with some tightness and pain in my throat, and I've heard both azithromycin and cefixime can help. Could you please guide me on which one might be better for a throat infection? I'm really unsure about which option to choose.

Both would work you can use Azithromycin for 3-5 days.

View allI've been dealing with swollen tonsils for around 3 years now, and every so often, there's this thick yellow stuff that comes out from the tonsil crypts. I've tried various antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. There's no pain or fever, just the swelling. What could be going on, and is there something else I should try?
The persistent swollen tonsils with occasional thick yellow discharge from tonsil crypts, despite multiple antibiotic treatments, suggest a chronic condition, possibly chronic tonsillitis or recurring tonsilloliths (tonsil stones); consider consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough evaluation, which may include a tonsillectomy, cryptolysis, or other procedures to address the underlying cause and alleviate symptoms.

I'm feeling really worried because my neck feels heavy and I've got a cold. It feels like something's stuck in my throat, and it's super uncomfortable. Could this be something serious, or is it just part of having a cold? What should I do about it?
