I've had this uncomfortable feeling because a chicken bone got stuck in my throat. I tried eating a banana and some bread with butter, but it didn't really help. I went to the emergency doctor at the government hospital, and they advised me to see a specialist the next day. After an X-ray, they said there was no bone in my throat, but now it's been six days and I'm still feeling pain in my throat and ear. Another doctor gave me azithromycin 500 mg and brufen, but I'm not getting any relief. What should I do next?

View allI keep getting these small whitish yellow stones on my tonsils is there any way to stop them without surgery or is surgery the only option
Yes, it's possible to reduce or prevent tonsil stones without surgery. Improving oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash, can significantly minimize their formation. Additional methods like gargling with warm saltwater or using a water pick can help dislodge existing stones

I have a deviated nasal septum and I'm really hesitant about surgery. I've seen multiple ENTs who all recommend surgery, but I'm wondering if Ayurveda can actually fix this or if it's just a temporary relief. Has anyone had success treating it without surgery?
septoplasty is advised.

I'm dealing with something really concerning and would love some advice. Whenever I get super stressed, like genuinely overwhelmed to the point of crying, my throat and tonsils start swelling up. It's like I'm right on the brink of an infection, and within a few days, I'm usually stuck going to the hospital for antibiotics. It just becomes so difficult to breathe, and the swelling never seems to subside, no matter how much I try to rest. It really feels almost exactly like strep throat, but it only happens after really stressful or traumatic events. What can I do to prevent this from happening?
Tonsils do not get increased in size usually because of stress. As per ur description of ur condition in your age is because of chronic tonsilitis. A short course of antibiotics will help the acute exacerbation, but Tonsillectomy would be the final answer to end this repeated infections.
