I'm really concerned because I initially had tonsils and a sore throat, so I took some antibiotics that were prescribed to me before, but now things seemed to get worse. I've developed this itchy and dry throat along with the tonsils, and I'm experiencing a lot of coughing at night when I'm trying to sleep and even some during the day. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do?

I'm dealing with some pretty bad swelling just below the right side of my jaw, and I'm wondering if it's because of tonsilitis. Is this something serious? The pain in my throat is terrible, and swallowing is almost unbearable right now. I've started on augmentin, reswas, and hexidime gargle on my doctor's advice. Any ideas on how long this swelling might last or if I should be more worried?

I've been noticing something weird every morning when I get up. After I wash my face with hot water, I notice something like coldness coming from my throat, and it's been happening for months. Plus, whenever I eat something cold or get exposed to cold weather, my throat gets all uncomfortable, like I'm going to catch a cold. Is there some special test I should look into to figure out what's going on?

That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm worried because yesterday I made a mistake and used hand sanitizer on my face and inside my nostrils when something dirty fell on me. I know I shouldn't have done it, and now I'm a bit concerned about any possible issues. I'm having a slight headache and the air I breathe through my nose feels warm. Could the alcohol in the hand sanitizer be drying out my nostrils? Could there be any side effects from this?

No there are no such side effects,no need to worry, take rest you will be fine.
