Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have reviewed the photos you have attached (attachment removed to protect patient's identity) and based on the information you provided, it seems you are suffering from allergic rhinitis and chronic tonsillopharyngitis. You have a blocked nose and sneezing associated with climate or environmental changes, indicating allergic rhinitis. Apart from that, your nose appears to function well. Allergic rhinitis is a challenging disease, and finding a simple cure for it is difficult. However, acute episodes can be controlled with an antihistamine, with or without a Leukotriene antagonist. I suggest you take a tablet containing Fexofenadine and Montelukast or a tablet containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine to help control the allergy episode. For long-term relief, I suggest you use nasal sprays like Mometasone furoate or Fluticasone propionate. These sprays should be used twice daily in both nostrils for about a month, with the dosage gradually reduced thereafter. These steroid sprays reduce nasal inflammation and allergies. The definitive treatment for allergies is immunotherapy, but before that, we need to identify the specific substances in the atmosphere that cause the allergy. I suggest you undergo a skin prick test or an immunoCAP (quantitative test that measures the overall quantity of circulating immunoglobulin E in the blood) test to identify the allergens. Following this, vaccines of the same allergens can be administered in increasing quantities to help your body adjust to them without producing allergy symptoms. Moving on to your throat, there is granular congestion in the posterior pharyngeal wall, tonsils, and pillars. Additionally, the tonsils are covered with pus and calcified material known as tonsilloliths. These signs indicate a long-standing infection. Currently, I suggest you take a course of antibiotics without anti-inflammatory and antacid medicines. I suggest you take a tablet containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid 625 mg twice daily for five days, along with tablet containing Trypsin and Chymotrypsin twice daily on an empty stomach, and a tablet of Esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily on an empty stomach. Furthermore, I suggest you gargle with diluted Betadine mouthwash three times daily for a week. In the long term, I suggest you undergo tonsillectomy surgery, which is a safe procedure. Tonsillectomy will ensure that your problems with tonsil stones and recurrent tonsillitis are resolved once and for all. Medication alone cannot cure tonsillar enlargement. If there is recurrent tonsillitis causing breathing and swallowing difficulties, surgery is needed. I suggest you consult a specialist, talk with them and take medications with their consent. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
Thank you.
