I've been having this weird pain in my throat whenever I drink water, but interestingly, it doesn't hurt when I eat. Sometimes, there's a slight discomfort when I swallow saliva. I'm just wondering what could be causing this. Any ideas?

I'm having a really hard time hearing because my ear is blocked with wax. I've never really used cotton buds or pins to clean my ears since I was a kid, but now I feel like I might need to. I'm really worried about damaging my eardrums, though. Is there another way to get rid of the wax without using buds or pins? I'd really appreciate any advice on what I can do.

You can use DEWAX ear drops that will dissolve the wax, do not attmept to remove it by yourself visit ENT doctor for ear toileting or vaccum aspiration.

I've been dealing with tonsillitis for a while nowit's really frustrating. The ENT specialist gave me Oratil 500, Rabemac, and Allegra, which worked at first. But now, the symptoms are back. Should I repeat the same treatment? The doctor also mentioned the possibility of removing my tonsillitis glands. Is that a safe option? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what to do next.

yes this could be recurrent tonsillitis if it is so better get it removed.visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

Yes, there are techniques to deepen your voice. You can train your vocal cords and breathing to achieve a lower, more resonant sound. Focusing on breath control, posture, and vocal exercises can help you develop a deeper, more masculine voice.
