I'm having a tough time dealing with this really dry mouth and throat, but it only seems to happen at night. I'm actually feeling super tired but can't sleep because of my anxiety over it. Could having a dry mouth be something serious or dangerous? And who should I reach out to for help with this? It's already 5:30 in the morning and I haven't slept at all, plus my tongue looks all white.

My ENT specialist diagnosed me with grade 4 tonsillitis and recommended surgery. I'm worried is surgery really necessary at my age? Could there be any long-term issues if I delay or avoid it?

A Grade 4 tonsillectomy recommendation by your ENT specialist, especially if it's for recurrent tonsillitis, is often a serious consideration. While surgery might seem daunting, delaying or avoiding it could lead to persistent or severe complications, and it's crucial to have an open discussion with your doctor about your concerns.
