I'm really struggling with a sore throat and it's becoming hard to swallow my saliva. I think it might be a bacterial infection. Do you have any suggestions on what medication I should take to feel better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Throat pain and difficulty swallowing saliva could be a sign of a bacterial infection like strep throat. It's important to consult with a doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic like amoxicillin or azithromycin. In the meantime, you can use throat lozenges and warm saline gargles for relief.

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.
