I'm experiencing a really bad sore throat after eating pickles, fried, or spicy foods and sometimes when I smoke. I don't smoke regularly, maybe once a month or a bit more. Should I be worried about this, or is it just something that happens with these types of foods? Is there anything I can do to prevent it or ease the soreness when it happens?

I'm a woman in my mid-twenties, about to turn 26, and I'm weighing around 112 pounds. I went to see my ENT for some allergy concerns and out of nowhere, he suggested I get a tonsillectomy. He mentioned that my tonsils are pretty large and he's worried that if I ever gain weight when I'm older, it might lead to sleep apnea. I am of Asian descent, and I've been told that makes me more prone to sleep apnea. Honestly, I don't have any recurring throat issues, just some snoring, and the only time I had throat problems was back in 2010 with a few bouts of strep throat but nothing since then. He thinks I should have them removed now since recovery might be easier while I'm young. Do you think I should go ahead and get my tonsils out? Does all this sound like a good enough reason to proceed with the surgery?

Yes. In my opinion. You should go ahead with the tonsillectomy.

I'm feeling really worried because after drinking hot water all day the day before yesterday, I started having trouble breathing, especially at night, and my nose is all congested. I've already tried inhaling steam, but I'm not sure what might be causing this or what else I should do. Can you help me figure this out?
