If you have tried various treatments without success, the last option for treating chronic tonsillitis may be a tonsillectomy. This surgical procedure involves removing the tonsils and can provide long-term relief from recurrent tonsillitis. It is important to discuss this option with an ENT specialist who can evaluate your specific case and determine if a tonsillectomy is the best course of action for you.

I've had a cold with a cough for the past 10 days. I've been taking cough syrup, and it seemed to be getting better, but just yesterday, my left side of my face started hurting and I've been feeling really weak. Should I be worried about these new symptoms, or is this something that could still be connected to my cold? What should I do next?

The sudden onset of left-sided facial pain and weakness, following a 10-day cold and cough, could indicate a possible post-viral complication, such as trigeminal neuralgia, facial neuritis, or even a mild stroke; seek immediate medical attention from a primary care physician

I'm really concerned about this polypoidal mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus that showed up on my MRI scan. I've already tried antibiotics and antihistamines for a month, but they didn't help. I'm worried and wondering what other treatments or options might be available. Could you advise on what else I can do to address this issue?

If it is causing severe pain or symptoms like cold and headache,have to undergo FESS for its resection.
