Question 1

I'm really concerned because I've had tonsillitis for three weeks now and it just won't go away. I've been on antibiotics for ten days but haven't seen any improvement. Could this be a bacterial or viral infection? Also, I can't help but worry if this could be a sign of early HIV ARS. I don't have any other symptoms, just swollen tonsils with white spots. What could be going on?

Accepted Answer

no need to worry it's not related HIV, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Question 2

I'm experiencing some discomfort when swallowing, particularly on the right side near my Adam's Apple. It's not a constant pain, but it sometimes feels like a lumpy soreness throughout the day, especially when I gulp. I have a moderate cough and notice I'm spitting more often. Last month, I had a cold and sore throat and was advised to take Azithral and ClavamXR by my GP. I've also stopped working out for about a month and it feels like I'm gaining weight. Could you offer some advice or insights into what's going on?

Accepted Answer

that could be mucosal congestion,no need to worry consume warm food for relief and stay hydrated.

Question 3

I'm having some trouble with my voiceit feels like I need to put in extra effort to speak, and it weakens after a while. This has been happening for about three months now. I also feel a constant dry and burning sensation in my throat, especially tough in the morning when I can't speak until I've had some water. I've tried voice adduction therapy as suggested by my speech therapist, but it hasn't really worked. Is there any way I could reach out to you through Skype for some advice?

Accepted Answer

You seem to be suffering from reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few weeks for long term benefits. Voice therapy also may be required
