Should I go to hospital for swollen tonsils?

Glandular feve­r, also known as infectious mononucleosis, could be causing your symptoms. This viral illne­ss makes tonsils swell and hurt badly. You may have a sore­ throat, swollen glands, and feel e­xhausted. To ease discomfort, re­st well, drink plenty of fluids, and take pain me­dication if needed. If swallowing is difficult, e­at soft foods and avoid rough or spicy items. Consult an ENT doctor if symptoms worsen.

What remedies for blocked nose, throat pain, cough?

Please don't start medications without a thorough evaluation by an ENT as not all blocked nose throat pain and cough are the same. For temporary relief, steam inhalation and warm fluid sips will help.

Why sudden deafness in right ear after sensonural loss?

Please continue on the steroids as they are the only way to provide some stimulus to the hearing nerve in this situation. There are other medications that can be given to increase blood supply to the nerve but the best chance of nerve recovery is within the first one or two days after which the chances are unpredictable and low in most cases. Please take a follow up consult your ENT surgeon as they will keep a close watch on improvement in the nerve which usually isn't something you will be able to perceive by yourself. You need to have repeat hearing testings to watch for improvement. In all cases, do not stop the steroid abruptly!

I am suffering from throat pain and ear pain from last 10 days.I had one course of Azithromycin and Amoxicillin. Still no change

Throat with ear pain persistent despite antibiotics can mean a few things. Non responsiveness to antibiotics could mean resistance, you could have a different issue than an infection that's causing pain. Please visit your local ENT for detailed evaluation and diagnosis.

I have a pill lodged into my throat but I can breathe, and have tried many ways using water to get it out. Any suggestions?

Any pill lodged in the throat will start to dissolve, so rest assured it will not stay stuck for long. You can try eating bananas or fat rich foods that can slide the pill down if it has gotten attached to any part of the throat. It is less likely to cause any major problems. If the sensation persists beyond one day, please visit your ent for a video endoscopic evaluation
