I've had swollen tonsils for the past three days, but no other symptoms or discomfort. My doctor gave me Ceftum 500, but it hasn't made a difference, so now I'm on a five-day course of Augmentin 625. Could the swelling be from a viral infection instead of a bacterial one? How long does it usually take for tonsillitis to clear up? By the way, I'm a 28-year-old male.

View allI'm really concerned about my almost 6-year-old daughter. She's been struggling with a constant cough and cold, and she was doing well for a while on montair lc and some sprays, but now with the weather changes over the last few months, she's caught a cold multiple times and needed antibiotics almost every month. We've been using seroflo and otrivin sprays regularly, but she still has blocked nose and snores at night. Her weight is normal, and she's active otherwise, but our doctor mentioned her adenoids are at grade 4 and suggested surgery. We did a CT scan too. I'm aware she might improve once the weather gets better, but I'm worried about keeping her from catching more colds and infections until then. Should I consider surgery, or is it okay to wait? I've tried homeopathy for a few weeks, but there's no improvement, and it gives her stomach pains. Im really hoping to avoid the surgery route. Is there a chance her adenoids might shrink on their own, or is surgery the only way forward? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been struggling for a while with some leftover symptoms from the flu I had about 3 weeks back. The fever and body aches are gone, but the sore throat and ear ache just won't quit. Now, I've also got this annoying muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. I tried taking Cataflam, and it seemed to work wonders for about 2-3 days, but now it does nothing, even when I take one every day. There's still a bit of a stuffy nose hanging around too. It's weird because I don't have tonsils anymore, so I'm just wondering what's going on. Any advice on what this could be or what I should do next?
That needs proper evaluation and treatment, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management.

I'm really struggling with this dry throat and persistent cough. It feels like I've tried everything and just can't seem to shake this tickly cough. What can I do to finally get some relief?
To alleviate a dry throat and tickly cough, try a multifaceted approach: stay hydrated with warm liquids like tea or broth, use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, gargle with salt water, suck on lozenges or cough drops,
