I've been dealing with throat pain for about 4 months now, and I've tried several medications for pharyngitis, but they haven't really worked. I recently switched to a new ENT doctor, and he prescribed more medicine for pharyngitis for 7 days. After taking it for just 2 days, I started having hiccups. For the past two days, I've been getting frequent hiccups every 2 to 3 hours, lasting around 10 to 15 minutes each time. I'm looking for some guidance on what might be causing this and how to prevent any issues. Any advice would be really helpful.

I've been dealing with this cough for 34 days now and it's getting really frustrating. On top of that, whenever I move my tongue or yawn, I get this strange pain in my tongue and ear. And when the earache gets really bad, it kind of feels like there's air trapped in my ears. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I've been having trouble sleeping at night because my adenoids have gotten pretty big, and my nose keeps getting blocked. I'm really hoping to find a way to reduce their size without having to go through surgery. Any advice on what I should do?

Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. Your provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops. Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.
