I've been having a sore throat for about three weeks, along with ear pain and swelling on one side of my neck. I've also got tonsil stones, super dry mouth, and I noticed red bumps at the back of my throat and on my tongue. Theres a bit of thrush too. Could all of this be related to candida?

It looks like acute tonsillitis with pharyngitis.

I've been dealing with a fever and cold that started about a week ago. The fever and cold cleared up in two days, but now I'm stuck with this cough that wont go away. Its so bad I've lost my voice, and when it does come out, it's really weak. Im finding it hard to communicate properly. Do you have any advice on how to get my voice back and get rid of this persistent cough?
The condition could be Bronchitis or Bronchiolitis that is the reason why your doctor prescribed respules,no harm in using tthose you can use them.

I'm getting really worried because for the last 20 days I've been feeling super uncomfortable near my esophagus when I swallow saliva or food. I'm taking 4 doses of pansec, monocef, and metrogyl, but there's been no improvement. The doctor said it's tonsillitis after just a physical exam. Could there be something else going on? Looking forward to your insight.
A blocked nostril can be quite uncomfortable! Given your symptoms, possible causes include: 1. _Deviated septum_: A crooked partition between the nostrils. 2. _Nasal polyps_: Growths in the nasal lining. 3. _Chronic sinusitis_: Inflammation of the sinuses. 4. _Allergies_: Seasonal or environmental allergies. 5. _Foreign object_: Something lodged in the nostril. To alleviate your symptoms, try: 1. _Nasal saline irrigation_: Rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution. 2. _Humidifiers_: Add moisture to the air to ease congestion. 3. _Steam inhalation_: Breathe in warm, moist air to loosen mucus. Consult an _ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist_ for a thorough examination and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. _Nasal endoscopy_: A flexible tube with a camera to visualize the nasal passages. 2. _Imaging tests_: CT or MRI scans to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Medications_: Decongestants, antihistamines, or steroids to alleviate symptoms. Seek medical attention to breathe easy again!
