I've been taking Ebast-M for about four years, and whenever I miss taking it for like three days, I start feeling this pain on one side of my throat and get random sneezing fits. Can you help me figure out what's going on and maybe suggest how I can manage or reduce these symptoms? It's been a bit of a hassle, so any advice would be appreciated.

It seems like you are experiencing symptoms of allergies due to missing your ebastine and montelukast tablets. To reduce your throat pain and sneezing, you can start by taking Ebast-M tablet again. The usual dosage is one tablet once daily. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Paracetamol for throat pain. It is important to continue taking your prescribed medication regularly to manage your allergy symptoms effectively.

I've been dealing with this dry cough for over two weeks whenever I'm drinking water or eating, and it lasts for at least a minute or breaks up as I eat. I used to have intercostal muscle pain for a couple of months, but that's a lot better now. Recently, I've noticed a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck, though it doesn't hurt. My throat's also started getting itchy and swollen now. I don't have a fever or problems with swallowing or breathing, but I can't help but wonder if these issues are connected somehow. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of postnasal drip, which can lead to a dry cough, throat irritation, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. The intercostal muscle pain you were experiencing could also be contributing to the discomfort. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the throat irritation and postnasal drip. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your throat as needed. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke or strong odors. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a woman in my mid-twenties, about to turn 26, and I'm weighing around 112 pounds. I went to see my ENT for some allergy concerns and out of nowhere, he suggested I get a tonsillectomy. He mentioned that my tonsils are pretty large and he's worried that if I ever gain weight when I'm older, it might lead to sleep apnea. I am of Asian descent, and I've been told that makes me more prone to sleep apnea. Honestly, I don't have any recurring throat issues, just some snoring, and the only time I had throat problems was back in 2010 with a few bouts of strep throat but nothing since then. He thinks I should have them removed now since recovery might be easier while I'm young. Do you think I should go ahead and get my tonsils out? Does all this sound like a good enough reason to proceed with the surgery?
Yes. In my opinion. You should go ahead with the tonsillectomy.
