How to Heal Tonsils and Throat - #19930
Hello, About six months ago, I returned to the US from a two week trip in India. I picked up a bad throat infection from the airport. My tonsils were extremely swollen and had white patches. But, I did not feel bad or have flu like symptoms. When I got back to the US, I developed a cough and it turned into pneumonia. I tested negative for strep, covid, mono, etc. I even had a 40 infectious disease panel done to rule out rarer diseases, as I traveled across rural areas. I was on around 7 or 8 antibiotics to combat this. I developed very bad gastro symptoms as a result, and could hardly eat more than 100g food in a day. Finally, I recovered from this, but at around month 5 I developed strep throat. I received antibiotics again, but about two months later, my throat is still red, my tonsils are swollen and have large blood vessels. My doctor merely suggested to get them out, but due to complicating factors, surgery is risky (my BMI is 46.9). I really don't want surgery, and I want my throat to heal. I do scrape my tongue and take ashwagandha every day. I occasionally drink tulsi tea. I eat all veg. I also really want to lose weight, but I'm unsure how. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
