Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from tonsillitis for the past three years, so I do not eat properly. But now I eat food twice a day, each time I eat three chapatis even then do not gain weight. So kindly suggest any solution to gain weight as I also have a white discharge problem from the vagina.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I see that you have chronic tonsillitis, due to which you do not take food properly and lost weight. You can take protein supplements for weight gain, but have you evaluated for your tonsillitis issue?

ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), Peripheral smear, chest X-ray, urine routine and culture sensitivity test, free T4 (thyroxine), TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone).

Please do the following blood investigations or consult an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor regarding this. If so, kindly upload the pictures for reference. If not, do the investigations given below and review them back.
