I'm really worried because I've had a throat infection for the past week. This seems to happen whenever I stop taking the Almox 500 capsules that I've been on for a while now. I went to a doctor, but it didn't really make a difference. What could be going on? Is there something else I should be doing?

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 .

I'm hearing this weird metallic sound in both of my ears, and it's been going on constantly for the past couple of days. It's especially noticeable when I'm in a quiet place. Plus, I haven't been able to sleep properly for about two weeks now, no matter how hard I try. Could these things be related, and what should I do about it?

That could be Tinnitus which is bothering you, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
