I've been dealing with tonsil issues for the past 2-3 years, but only the left one hurts and it's gotten bigger. It's really affecting my life and I'm feeling so down about it. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm desperate for some guidance on what to do next

It's understandable that you're seeking non-surgical solutions for your persistent tonsil issue. Since you've been dealing with this for 2-3 years and the left tonsil is particularly affected, it's important to rule out other possibilities and get a proper diagnosis

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my mouth or throat for the past couple of days, and when I checked, I saw a small white spot inside my throat. It feels like a piece of food is stuck there, but drinking water hasn't helped at all. Could this be some kind of boil or an infection? I'm a bit worried and would love your advice on this.

I'm spitting up a little blood when I clear my throat in the mornings. It happens about once a month, and it's not a lot of blood. I dont see any cuts or injuries in my mouth, but my nose is usually pretty congested. Also, my phlegm is kind of yellowish to green. What could this mean? Should I be worried?

as it just happened once its negligeble,and this could be due to pharyngitis or sinusitis orDNS,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.
