I'm really worried about my throat. The doctors said its chronic pharyngitis, and Ive been on antibiotics and antiallergics. I tried ibuprofen for the swelling, but it just comes back when I stop taking it. Sometimes, my right ear hurtsmaybe its because of my tonsils? I also have gastritis, so could it be LPR or GERD? Im a singer, and its been two months since Ive been able to sing. It's really upsetting. I've already seen three doctors but no luck. What should I do?

As it is chronic Pharyngitis it needs long-term treatment,also consume warm foods, rest your voice until complete recovery visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment

My 2.5-year-old son has adenoids and has been on montair LC and abymys nasal spray at night for 8 weeks. He's been sleeping peacefully without snoring or breathing issues since starting the treatment and is very active. The doctor suggested surgery if things don't improve after 2 months, but I really want to avoid that. What should I do?

Since your son is responding well to current treatment and is sleeping peacefully, focus on continuing that treatment and monitoring his progress. A follow-up with the doctor is crucial to discuss his continued improvement and explore all available options, including delaying surgery if possible, if symptoms are minimal, treatment may not be necessary.
