I've had enlarged tonsils for over a year now - can homeopathy actually shrink them back to normal size or is surgery better? The doctor just glanced and said I have big tonsils without any tests, but I've been taking meds. What symptoms do people usually get with enlarged tonsils - like trouble swallowing or sore throat all the time?

I'm currently on cephalexin for my tonsillitis and I'm just curious, is it okay to smoke marijuana while taking this medication? I'm worried if it might make the cephalexin less effective or if there could be any bad reactions.

I would not recommend smoking marijuana while taking cephalexin for tonsillitis. Smoking marijuana can potentially decrease the effectiveness of cephalexin and may also increase the risk of certain side effects. It is best to avoid smoking marijuana while on this antibiotic.

I'm really worried about this white spot on my tonsil. I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort, but I can't help but wonder if it might be something serious like cancer or another disease. Could you please help me understand what it might be?

Seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, try: - Drink a glass of water to help dislodge the bone - Eat a small amount of soft food like banana or bread - Avoid coughing or gagging, which can push the bone further A doctor or ENT specialist can: - Visually examine your throat - Use specialized instruments to remove the bone - Provide pain relief medication if needed
