My tonsils have been swollen for almost 3 weeks now and nothing from allopathy seems to help. Doctors are suggesting surgery but I'm not sure if that's the only option left. What else can I try before going for surgery?

Tonsillitis generally lasts around a week. However, when it lasts longer than 14 days, it's considered chronic tonsillitis. Chronic tonsillitis may lead to other conditions that need additional treatment. If you have recurring bouts of tonsillitis, you may need to have your tonsils surgically removed.

I've been dealing with throat pain for about 4 months now, and I've tried several medications for pharyngitis, but they haven't really worked. I recently switched to a new ENT doctor, and he prescribed more medicine for pharyngitis for 7 days. After taking it for just 2 days, I started having hiccups. For the past two days, I've been getting frequent hiccups every 2 to 3 hours, lasting around 10 to 15 minutes each time. I'm looking for some guidance on what might be causing this and how to prevent any issues. Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm pretty worried because my mom just had an endoscopy and they found her left vocal cord isn't working right the report mentioned something about left side vocal cord paralysis. The doctors said there's no infection and no clear cause, calling it idiopathic. They've suggested a CT scan, but I'm really anxious about what might be causing this. Can you shed some light on what could lead to vocal cord paralysis like this?
