I've recently recovered from COVID, but I'm starting to feel some symptoms that worry me. I've got a sore throat, pain under my tongue, and irritation in my throat. I'm sneezing a lot too, and I have a history of maxillary sinus issues and nasal deviation. It feels like I might be dealing with COVID-like symptoms again, but I don't have a fever. Should I be concerned about this recurrence, and what can I do to alleviate these symptoms?

View allI've been told to take steam twice a day to help with throat, ear, and nose issues, but I'm worried if doing this regularly might lead to pneumonia in the lungs. Can inhaling too much steam actually cause such problems?
no it does not cause pneumonia but excess steam causes sinusitis and nose problems ,avoid taking steam and avoid salt water gargling

I've been dealing with swollen tonsils for about 10 months now, and its starting to worry me. It all started when my doctor said I had viral pharyngitis, which cleared up in a week. But then my left tonsil swelled up without any pain, and a few weeks later, the other one did too. It's been a long time now, and the swelling hasn't gone down. Plus, it's giving me bad breath and other problems. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?
Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin can be prescribed to help reduce the swelling and infection in your tonsils. If the antibiotics do not improve the condition, a tonsillectomy may be considered as a treatment option. Additionally, you can try using a saltwater gargle or throat lozenges to help alleviate the discomfort and bad breath associated with swollen tonsils.
