I'm having trouble with a blocked nose that makes it hard for me to breathe, especially when I'm lying down. I don't have a cough, fever, or runny nose, but I can feel a bit of chest congestion. It's like the inside of my nose, near the bone area, is all blocked up. What can I do to feel better?

I'm struggling with recurring tonsil infections whenever I eat spicy foods for several days in a row. Is there any way to deal with this once and for all, aside from opting for surgery?
Spicy foods can irritate the tonsils and lead to inflammation or infection. To help prevent tonsillitis, you can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. Additionally, you can use lozenges or throat sprays for relief. If you experience frequent tonsillitis episodes, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics like Amoxicillin to treat bacterial infections. However, if the problem persists, a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils) may be considered as a permanent solution.
