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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm having this weird issue where my ears make sounds after I sneeze. I've already finished my cold meds, but my nose is still blocked, especially in the mornings. Plus, I have this minor cough that comes and goes. What should I do?
your symptoms seem to be consistent with residual effects from a cold, like nasal congestion and Eustachian tube dysfunction, but if they persist or worsen, its important to seek further medical advice. In the meantime, using saline sprays, staying hydrated, and addressing the congestion with decongestants or steam inhalation should help improve your symptoms.
