I'm really concerned because I've had tonsillitis for three weeks now and it just won't go away. I've been on antibiotics for ten days but haven't seen any improvement. Could this be a bacterial or viral infection? Also, I can't help but worry if this could be a sign of early HIV ARS. I don't have any other symptoms, just swollen tonsils with white spots. What could be going on?

I've been noticing that since yesterday, everything sounds kind of echoed. It's like someone is talking to me through a hollow pipe right next to my ear. And today, I've started having a mild headache. Could this be a stress-related issue because I had an intense week with non-stop phone calls using in-ear headphones for about 8 hours each day? Or should I be concerned about something else going on?

The continuous use of in-ear headphones for long hours can sometimes lead to such problems. I recommend taking a break from using headphones and giving your ears some rest. You can also try using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help with any ear congestion. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I can see a thick tear-drop-sized fleshy lump in my right nostril that's blocking my nasal passage could this be nasal polyps? It makes breathing difficult sometimes, and I alternate between a runny nose and a blocked nose. I really don't want surgery can you suggest how to cure this polyp naturally? My general physician said recovery might take 36 months or more, and I'm currently using Montek 10 and Flomist spray. Will these medications actually help shrink the polyps? Also, is homeopathy effective for treating nasal polyps?
