I'm really worried about my throat. The doctors said its chronic pharyngitis, and Ive been on antibiotics and antiallergics. I tried ibuprofen for the swelling, but it just comes back when I stop taking it. Sometimes, my right ear hurtsmaybe its because of my tonsils? I also have gastritis, so could it be LPR or GERD? Im a singer, and its been two months since Ive been able to sing. It's really upsetting. I've already seen three doctors but no luck. What should I do?

Can you let me know how many hours of sleep are recommended if I'm taking Montek LC? I usually get around 7 to 8 hours, but I'm still feeling drowsy. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

7-8 hrs of sleep is enough but the tablet usually makes you feel drowsy for upto 10 hrs.
