I'm getting really worried because for the last 20 days I've been feeling super uncomfortable near my esophagus when I swallow saliva or food. I'm taking 4 doses of pansec, monocef, and metrogyl, but there's been no improvement. The doctor said it's tonsillitis after just a physical exam. Could there be something else going on? Looking forward to your insight.

A blocked nostril can be quite uncomfortable!
Given your symptoms, possible causes include:
- Deviated septum: A crooked partition between the nostrils.
- Nasal polyps: Growths in the nasal lining.
- Chronic sinusitis: Inflammation of the sinuses.
- Allergies: Seasonal or environmental allergies.
- Foreign object: Something lodged in the nostril.
To alleviate your symptoms, try:
- Nasal saline irrigation: Rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution.
- Humidifiers: Add moisture to the air to ease congestion.
- Steam inhalation: Breathe in warm, moist air to loosen mucus.
Consult an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis. They may recommend:
- Nasal endoscopy: A flexible tube with a camera to visualize the nasal passages.
- Imaging tests: CT or MRI scans to rule out underlying conditions.
- Medications: Decongestants, antihistamines, or steroids to alleviate symptoms.
Seek medical attention to breathe easy again!

I've been dealing with a bad cold I caught about three weeks ago. It seems like the main infection cleared up, but I'm still experiencing this choking sensation in my throat, although it happens off and on. I can feel some phlegm sitting there, but swallowing isn't an issue. My breathing is fine too, and I only really cough to try and clear my throat. Should I be worried about this lingering issue, or is it normal after a cold?
Its common to experience lingering throat discomfort or mucus production after a cold, and it sounds like youre on the road to recovery. Keep practicing hydration, using a humidifier, and potentially using saline sprays to help clear your sinuses. If the symptoms persist or become bothersome, a follow-up with your healthcare provider might be necessary to make sure theres no underlying issue, like post-viral inflammation or infection.
