So, I'm on day 12 after my tonsillectomy and up until yesterday, it seemed like almost all the scabs were gone and my throat looked mostly pink. But today, I've noticed that this white stuff is showing up again. Should I be worried about that or is it normal?

It is normal to see some white patches reappear in your throat after a tonsillectomy, even after the scabs have fallen off. This could be due to the healing process and is usually not a cause for concern. However, if you experience severe pain, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing, it is important to contact your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can continue to manage your symptoms with pain relief medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as prescribed by your doctor.

I've been dealing with a blocked nose for the past two weeks and got a CT scan done. I've attached the report do you think I might need surgery for this? What would you suggest based on the findings?
Without seeing the CT scan, it’s hard to determine if surgery is required. Often, nasal obstruction can be treated with medication or a procedure, but surgery is considered only if there's a structural issue like a deviated septum.

I've noticed that my tongue and the roof of my mouth have this white to yellowish color. There aren't any white or red spots, but I'm kind of worried about what it might be. Is it something serious? Also, I've had this weird feeling like there's hair or something at the back of my throat for a while now, but it goes away when I eat or drink. Are these two things connected? If not, what could be causing this strange sensation?
PCOS can be complex, and I'll address your concerns: *Having PCOS with Regular Periods* 1. *Yes, it's possible*: PCOS is a spectrum disorder, and some women may experience regular periods despite having other PCOS symptoms. 2. *Ovulation may still be irregular*: Even with regular periods, ovulation might be infrequent or irregular, affecting fertility. *Infertility Risks* 1. *Increased risk*: PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women due to ovulation issues and hormonal imbalances. 2. *Not inevitable*: Many women with PCOS can conceive with proper treatment and management. *Acne Treatment* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Discuss your acne concerns with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment approach. 2. *Hormonal treatments*: Birth control pills or anti-androgen medications might be prescribed to regulate hormones and reduce acne. *Normal DHT Levels and PCOS* 1. *DHT not always elevated*: Some women with PCOS may have normal DHT levels. 2. *Other hormonal imbalances*: PCOS is characterized by multiple hormonal imbalances, not just DHT. *Bilateral Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) vs. PCOS* 1. *PCO is a characteristic of PCOS*: Bilateral PCO is a common feature of PCOS, but not all women with PCO have PCOS. 2. *PCOS diagnosis requires multiple criteria*: A diagnosis of PCOS requires a combination of clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings.
