I'm really worried because I've been having this weird discomfort in my throat for the past 23 weeks. It's mostly at night and feels like something's stuck in there. I already saw an ENT doctor who did a larynx endoscopy and gave me some meds, which worked for about ten days. But now the problem is back and when I eat, it feels like there's this spicy sensation in my throat and even in my ear. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Drinking cold water can cause:

Irritation of the throat lining

Constriction of blood vessels

Inflammation

To soothe the sore throat:

Gargle with warm saltwater

Suck on throat lozenges (e.g., Strepsils)

Take over-the-counter pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen)

Rest your voice and stay hydrated. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

I've been dealing with strep throat for the past two years, and it keeps coming back almost every month. My tonsils get those white and yellow patches, and I also notice small bumps at the back of my tongue. Meds help for a bit, but it never really goes away. Would getting my tonsils removed be a permanent fix for this?

tonsilectomy is advised .
