I've had swelling in my tonsils for two months now, and I've already taken medicine for a week after seeing a doctor. The swelling has gone down a little, but there's still more on one side. I noticed some white pus-like stuff there, too. There's no pain or fever, so I'm not sure what to think. Can you help me figure out what's going on? Should I be worried?

Based on your description and the photo you provided, it appears that you may be experiencing chronic tonsillitis with unilateral swelling and white pus. Since you have already taken medication for 7 days with some improvement, I would recommend continuing with a course of antibiotics to fully treat the infection. You can try taking a 10-day course of Amoxicillin (brand name: Amoxil) 500mg three times a day. This antibiotic is effective against bacterial infections commonly seen in tonsillitis. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges to soothe any discomfort and gargle with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation. If the swelling and pus persist or worsen despite the antibiotic treatment, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. Thank you for providing the information and photo for better understanding of your condition.

I've been dealing with recurrent sinusitis for a year now, with nasal blockage and fever, but it's gotten worse over the last 4 months. I wake up with snoring, a blocked nose, and yellow discharge, plus constant low-grade fever. I had nose surgery 3 years ago for a bone growth causing obstruction, which helped a little back then. I've tried antibiotics, steroids, homeopathy, and ayurveda, but nothing has fully fixed it. A recent X-ray showed bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy and maxillary sinusitis. What's the best solution to stop the blockages and prevent this from coming back?
Given the persistence and worsening of your sinusitis symptoms, including snoring, nasal blockage, yellow discharge, and low-grade fever, it's crucial to seek medical attention. A doctor or ENT specialist can properly diagnose the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment
