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?

View allI woke up yesterday with a weird thing happening. When I tried to clear my throat, like ahkkk, and spat it out, I noticed some blood stains. Then I checked in the mirror and saw two dark red blobs of blood stuck at the back of my throat. I was freaking out. It didn't bleed after that until the evening when I saw another blob stuck there, but it didn't come out. I'm super anxious about this. Am I okay, or is something serious going on? I noticed my nose is often dry, and when I clean it, there's some blood. Plus, I've got burping and acidity issues and have been having trouble speaking loudly or even wanting to talk much. I've had a sore throat for the past ten days too. What's happening with me?

I'm experiencing a burning feeling in my left nostril, and alongside it, there's a mild ache on the upper lid of my eye. There's also this pain around my left eyebrow that's been nagging me. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of sinusitis, which is inflammation of the sinuses. The burning sensation in your left nostril, mild ache on the upper lid of your eye, and pain in your left eyebrow are all common symptoms of sinusitis. I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) 30mg every 4-6 hours as needed for nasal congestion. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a saline nasal spray to help with congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
