I have had a really bad sore throat for a month now. I have gone to urgent care twice and the results for strep tonsillitis and mono all came back negative. I was given a steroid drink at urgent care and antibiotics but it is still getting worse. Both my tonsils are swollen but one side is much worse. I also have white and yellow spots on them and it almost looks like a sore is starting to grow. The only other possible symptoms are pain in the upper left side of my stomach and really bad acid reflux.

Persistent sore throat with one sided swelling and spots may need ENT evaluation. It could be chronic tonsillitis or another infection that needs stronger or targeted treatment.

My 3.6 year old daughter developed a fever with cough and cold. We consulted a child specialist who prescribed medications including Lanzopraz, Bestozym, Atoz, Tixylix, Calpol, Refzol, and Pacimol, which initially helped reduce the fever. However, she developed a high fever of 103. The doctor then prescribed Moxclav antibiotic and Pacimol. Although the fever decreases after medication, it returns every 4 to 5 hours. We are concerned and unsure about the situation. I have attached all prescriptions and her blood report. Kindly advise on what should be done next?

I am experiencing pain in both hands, which sometimes becomes unbearable. The pain extends from my arms to my fingers and even my palms. According to my blood tests, I do not have any infection or fever (dengue, etc.). I do not understand the reason for this pain. My hands feel very weak, and I am unable to lift or hold any weight. The pain lasts throughout the day and night, but occasionally it becomes extremely severe. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
