I have had my tonsils removed as a child. I am struggling to swallow as my throat is so sore. It is extremely red and there are some white spots beside where my tonsils once were. Does anyone have any ideas what this is and how to cure? I have had it for 3 days and have taken throat sprays and lozenges which have not helped at all. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I was in the hospital and the person I was visiting was NPO. What does that mean?

The family doctor said it's probably just stress and to have lie down and relax when it happens. This is bothering me. Has anyone else's child experienced this?

For the past few days I have been having this painful feeling in the cervical area of my spine. It hurts to move my neck certain ways, I can't sleep on it for more that an hour and then I have to move, but it will still be painful no matter what I do.
I called my doctor today and they couldn't get me in for some reason, and they don't know when they will be able to. Is there anything I can take or do to relieve the pain and discomfort or possibly make it easier to move it?

My dad, my brother and I all suffer from (I don't know the technical term),cracked skin, like small razor cuts on fingers and sometimes the toes, when the weather changes here in Fl. It is EXTREMELY painful, and takes days and days to heal just like any wound. All 3 of us are in diff. lines of work (dad's retired). My mom, other brother & sister aren't affected.
We have tried everything, year around, to try to find a solution. I've done oil bathes faithfully, hand-cream every night, gloves on, gloves off, udder creme, crack creme.....you name it....I've tried it!
And still, already 2-3 weeks ago, the humidity went down, temp. dropped to high 60's(at nite!), and BAMM. 3 cuts. I used to love this time of year so very much and now all I seem to do is think about is the pain of going through another 6-7 months of this again.
I first remember this happening on a trip with my husband to the NC mountains in the mid-80's. In Dec.
Thanks for any insite

There are so many different kinds of supplements out there but what brand is the best? What should you look for on the label? Is there any kind of food that cleanses your liver, colon, arteries?

I have been feeling light headed and a little dizzy now for about 3-4 days. Sometimes I feel slightly nauseous too, but never actually sick. I got back from holiday with my husband on Saturday - don't know if this may have anything to do with it. Friends have suggested ear infection or virus - any ideas - going to the doctor on Monday.

I fall asleep easily but very often I wake up 4 hours later and cannot fall asleep again for about 2 hours. Then I do fall asleep. This way I normally have 7-8 hours sleep with 2 hours insomnia in the middle! How can I get rid of those 2 hours and sleep the whole night through?!

I'm male in mid 30s and exercise regularly

Thank you for your time!

I am wondering, can it be caused by the fact that we've had a ton of work done on our old (1922) house and all the dust has messed up my nasal passages. If so, how do I get back to my not-snoring self?

Or is it simply a function of getting older?

Its small, it's a little sore. It feels like when a spot has swelled up but it doesn't look like that. I only noticed it so I'm not overly concerned yet. I'm 24 and reasonably fit and healthy. Anyone had anything similar?
