I've noticed that my tonsils have been really swollen for a while now, ever since I had a whooping cough. The doctor mentioned they were large and red, but I didn't really feel any discomfort like pain or issues with swallowing. Lately, my friends told me I've been snoring, and Im starting to wonder if it's linked to my tonsils. I quit smoking completely, and while my cough went away, the swelling in my tonsils hasnt. Theyre so big that theres only a small gap between them. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that will eventually go back to normal?

I'm getting really worried because for the last 20 days I've been feeling super uncomfortable near my esophagus when I swallow saliva or food. I'm taking 4 doses of pansec, monocef, and metrogyl, but there's been no improvement. The doctor said it's tonsillitis after just a physical exam. Could there be something else going on? Looking forward to your insight.
A blocked nostril can be quite uncomfortable! Given your symptoms, possible causes include: 1. _Deviated septum_: A crooked partition between the nostrils. 2. _Nasal polyps_: Growths in the nasal lining. 3. _Chronic sinusitis_: Inflammation of the sinuses. 4. _Allergies_: Seasonal or environmental allergies. 5. _Foreign object_: Something lodged in the nostril. To alleviate your symptoms, try: 1. _Nasal saline irrigation_: Rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution. 2. _Humidifiers_: Add moisture to the air to ease congestion. 3. _Steam inhalation_: Breathe in warm, moist air to loosen mucus. Consult an _ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist_ for a thorough examination and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. _Nasal endoscopy_: A flexible tube with a camera to visualize the nasal passages. 2. _Imaging tests_: CT or MRI scans to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Medications_: Decongestants, antihistamines, or steroids to alleviate symptoms. Seek medical attention to breathe easy again!
