Question 2

I've been dealing with tonsil stones for about a year now and keep finding small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove some, but the outer ones won't budge. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat. I don't have ear pain, fever, trouble swallowing, or a sore throat just a dry throat. What can I do to relieve this without surgery? I gargle with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis?

Accepted Answer

Tonsil stones can cause discomfort and bad breath. While you can try home remedies like salt water gargles and coughing to dislodge them, if they persist or cause severe symptoms, consult a doctor. If you have chronic tonsillitis, they might recommend a tonsillectomy to remove the tonsils.

Question 3

I'm dealing with post nasal drip and allergies for the last couple of months and things got worse when I flew recently. During landing, I felt this terrible pain in my ears like they might burst. The ear pain faded by the next day, but now I'm having trouble with a pain in the right side of my Adam's apple when I swallow. There aren't any other symptoms. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
