Ive been dealing with this persistent dry cough for years, and I just found out it might be because of an elongated uvula. It keeps tickling and triggering these coughing fits. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do about it or if theres a way to get some relief?

It can be due to Allergy. Surgery is needed if it is very much enlongated.

I'm really concerned because I've had tonsillitis for three weeks now and it just won't go away. I've been on antibiotics for ten days but haven't seen any improvement. Could this be a bacterial or viral infection? Also, I can't help but worry if this could be a sign of early HIV ARS. I don't have any other symptoms, just swollen tonsils with white spots. What could be going on?

no need to worry it's not related HIV, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm experiencing this persistent pain in my neck and back after eating, and it's really uncomfortable. It seems like it might be acid reflux because I also have that going on. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to ease the pain?

That needs long-term treatment and lifestyle modification, visit Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate management and counseling.

I've been dealing with breathing issues because of a deviated nasal septum, and my last doctor recommended a minor surgery to fix it. Is this something your clinic offers? I'm a bit nervous about the procedure and wanted to check if it's an option here.

septoplasty is advised to the patiet at apollo hospital.
