I've noticed some white spots on just one of my tonsils for the past couple of weeks, but there's no pain or irritation. Should I be concerned about this? Is it something that needs attention, even without any discomfort?

I'm really worried because I've got this yellow pus with a terrible smell coming out of my right nostril. It's got this drainage-like odor that's just unbearable. Last month I had a lot of tooth pain, but that's gone now. The pus seems to come out whenever I bend over. I've seen a top ENT and a dentist, and they couldn't figure out what's wrong, even after an X-ray in the front of my mouth. Now they're suggesting a CT scan to diagnose it. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do next?

It sounds like you may have a sinus infection with a possible connection to your tooth. The yellow pus and bad smell are concerning symptoms. To help with the infection, you can try taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can use a nasal spray like Fluticasone propionate spray in each nostril once daily to reduce inflammation in the sinuses. It's important to follow up with the CT scan as recommended by your healthcare providers for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been dealing with tonsillitis for about six years now and have tried a lot of different medications during this time. What options do I have left for treating it?

If you have tried various treatments without success, the last option for treating chronic tonsillitis may be a tonsillectomy. This surgical procedure involves removing the tonsils and can provide long-term relief from recurrent tonsillitis. It is important to discuss this option with an ENT specialist who can evaluate your specific case and determine if a tonsillectomy is the best course of action for you.
