I've been dealing with this scratchiness in my throat, almost like there's something stuck there, and it doesnt seem to go away. Hot water provides temporary relief, but the issue keeps coming back after a while. It's been ongoing for about three months, and I've tried medications like ZIFI AF, Citirizine, and Calpol for 10 days. There were moments when the meds helped, but the problem keeps resurfacing. What do you suggest I do next?

I've noticed that my tonsils have been really swollen for a while now, ever since I had a whooping cough. The doctor mentioned they were large and red, but I didn't really feel any discomfort like pain or issues with swallowing. Lately, my friends told me I've been snoring, and Im starting to wonder if it's linked to my tonsils. I quit smoking completely, and while my cough went away, the swelling in my tonsils hasnt. Theyre so big that theres only a small gap between them. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that will eventually go back to normal?

As you say your tonsils look swollen with no symptoms.without any further delay visit ENT docotor for rvaluating other conditions and appropriate approach.

My mom had surgery for follicular neoplasm thyroiditis and now her voice sounds weak and unclear. Should she rest her voice or try to speak more to recover? Also, is there any risk of cancer after this type of surgery?

I've been feeling like there's a lump in my throat for the past two weeks. It doesnt seem to bother me when I'm swallowing food, but there's this constant irritation when I'm just swallowing saliva. What could be causing this?
