My boy is of 12 years and he is having tonsils in his neck… there is normal tonsils Madicine has finished

Male | 12

Your son has enlarged tonsils, he slows down when sick. These can make the throat hurt, make it hard to swallow, or even block some air. Helping him stay comfortable might include giving him lots of things to drink and soft things to eat. Make a doctor’s appointment if he seems very uncomfortable or it’s hard for him to breathe.

Am a 27 Y/O female. I got a cold about 2 weeks ago and I’m having a hard time getting over it. I still have wheezing, a wet cough, extreme fatigue, and phlegm, but my main issue is that my ear became very “stuffy” and it felt like there was fluid In Them. I wake up with drainage, and they pop often. I have pictures of my inner ear to share for more detail. I had tubes when I was young, and I had a very traumatic accident happen while they were in place, and my ears have been a pain ever since. I get extremely painful pressure when I fly to the point where I cry the whole flight if I don’t have my special ear plugs. And heaven forbid I get an ear infection. I cry anytime I have to put In ear drops

Female | 27

Oh i'm so sorry to hear your symptoms. It sounds like there is a lot going on in the ear canal and the tube connecting the ear to the nose which we call- The eustachian tube. Please visit your nearest ent who will do an endoscopy of the ear, get the hearing and e tube function evaluation and assess for chronic issues to ensure it doesn't get worse with time.

About three weeks ago I went to the doctor with a soar throat, I struggled to swallol, my lymp nodes were swollen. She said that I had an infection and that there were ehite spots in my throat and it was swollen. She gave me antibiotics to drink for 5 days. I felt better. After a week I started tk have a sore throat again. Now my right side of my mount is droopy. What vould be wrong ?

Female | 21

Sounds like the previous infection has not cleared completely or there is a second viral infection that has come on. We also need to see why the frequency is so high despite medications. Kindly visit an ENT surgeon.

I have pain while swallowing

Female | 25

This could happe­n because of a sore throat or infe­ction. Other possibilities are acid re­flux or swallowing something sharp accidentally. If it continues for se­veral days, getting it checke­d is wise. Warm drinks or soft foods might provide relie­f. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is crucial too. Take­ a break from spicy or rough textures until it passe­s.

I have strep throat since 3 days. I see white patches on back of my throat and pain while swallowing and i also have fever and chills.

Female | 27

You might be suffering from strep throat. Strep throat is caused by bacteria that can make your throat hurt a lot. The white patches you see are a common sign of strep throat. You may also have a fever and chills. To feel better, you should rest, drink fluids, and take medicine your doctor might prescribe to fight the infection. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe your throat.
