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?

I'm a bit confused and worried about the medicines my ENT doctor prescribed after finding out I'm allergic to house dust, cockroach allergen, and those dermatophagoid thingies. He gave me Zentel 400, Hetrazan 100, and some anti-allergy meds. Why would he prescribe these specific medicines for allergies? Are they supposed to help with these types of allergens?

Because those are the common allergens one will be exposed regularly,in order to stop the allergic reaction he gave you those medicines
