I've been dealing with tonsil stones for about a year now and it's really been bugging me. I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of my tonsils without going through surgery. Is it possible? If so, how does it work?

View allI've been feeling like there's an air bubble stuck in my throat for the last couple of weeks, and it's not going away. There's also a lump on one of my tonsils and it seems bigger than usual. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?
The persistent air bubble sensation in your throat and the enlarged tonsil lump warrant medical attention; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

My son needs to get his tonsils removed and we're considering surgery. Can you tell me what types of tonsil surgeries are available and which one is less painful? Also, how long does recovery usually take after the procedure?
The two main types of tonsillectomy surgery are: Traditional tonsillectomy: Both tonsils are completely removed. Intracapsular tonsillectomy: The surgeon removes all the affected tonsil tissue, but leaves a small layer to protect the throat muscles underneath.

I'm really struggling with sinus issues and just wanted some advice. For the past couple of months, I've been having this pain on the left side of my forehead that goes down to my nose. There's also this yellowish, smelly discharge that keeps coming from the left side of my nose. I just had a CTPNS done and it showed moderate mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus, causing about 70 to 80% of air space to opacify, and it's reaching into the middle meatus through the maxillary ostium. There's also some moderate thickening in the bilateral ethmoid air cells and mild thickening in the bilateral frontal sphenoid sinuses. I've got bilateral concha bullosa with secondary mucosal thickening too. I've been on medication for the past 15 days things like Augmentin 625, Allegra M, Defza 6mg, Ezicas nasal spray, and Enzoflam. They help for a bit, but after 7 to 8 hours, the symptoms just come back. What do you suggest I do now?
Its essential to complete the prescribed medication course, as it can help reduce inflammation and infection and if youre not experiencing lasting relief after 2 weeks of consistent medication.If medications are not resolving the issue, consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
