  5. I've been sneezing like 20 to 30 times a day, my nose is constantly stuffy, and my eyes are so watery. I talked to an ENT doctor and they had me take fexofenadine for a month, but it's not really helping. Do you have any better ideas to help with this?

Persistent discomfort near the esophagus while swallowing can be concerning! Given your symptoms and lack of improvement with the prescribed medications, consider the following possibilities: 1. _Esophagitis_: Inflammation of the esophagus, possibly caused by acid reflux or infection. 2. _Dysphagia_: Difficulty swallowing due to a narrowing or obstruction of the esophagus. 3. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, causing discomfort and inflammation. 4. _Esophageal spasm_: Abnormal muscle contractions in the esophagus, leading to discomfort and difficulty swallowing. It's essential to seek further evaluation and diagnosis from: 1. _Gastroenterologist_: For an endoscopy or other diagnostic tests to examine the esophagus and stomach. 2. _ENT specialist_: To reassess the tonsillitis diagnosis and explore other possible causes. In the meantime, try: 1. _Avoiding trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that exacerbate your symptoms. 2. _Eating smaller, more frequent meals_: To reduce discomfort and difficulty swallowing. 3. _Staying upright after meals_: To minimize acid reflux and discomfort. Please consult your doctor or a specialist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
