My wife has been dealing with some really bothersome throat pain and we're not sure what's going on. We've tried giving her some tablets, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. She also has this really bad cough that's worrying us. Could you help us figure out what's happening?

Your wife's throat pain and bad cough could be symptoms of a sore throat, also known as pharyngitis, which is usually caused by a viral infection like the common cold or flu. It's possible that the tablets she took didn't provide relief because they might not have addressed the underlying cause.

View allI accidentally swallowed a chicken bone last night. It didn't hurt going down, but I'm just a bit worried if it might cause me any trouble later on. I had some hot water afterward. Should I be concerned about this?
Usually it will be passed out in your faeces and doesnt cause any problem,no need to worry you can forget about that.

I'm dealing with granular pharyngitis at the back of my throat and it's been really uncomfortable. I've already tried two rounds of antibiotics, but they haven't made any difference. I'm honestly quite worried about what I should do next. Any advice would be really appreciated.
No need to worry such conditions would need long term treatment,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with this ongoing issue where my throat really hurts when I'm drinking or eating, and it feels like the pain stretches from my throat to my right ear. It's been happening for about three months now. What's going on with this, and should I be concerned?
could be due to inflammation or infection in that area. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relief like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help alleviate the discomfort. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
