Hello, I have been dealing with a swallowing issue for a month now and it's getting WORSE by the day. 2 months ago I could eat solid foods with a little difficulty but now I struggle drinking liquids. I am on a all liquid diet and have been for a month but its even difficult to drink liquids. Im a little dehydrated because I got a blood test done recently and it showed that my protein in my blood was high. I also have really low iron and have lost 14 pounds from lack of eating due to swallowing issue. I went to the hospital recently and they did a CT scan of my brain and it came back normal. They also looked at my throat and said my tonsils are bigger than normal but not touching so you should get a tonsillectomy. I asked my ENT about possibly getting a tonsillectomy and he thinks my tonsils are not the issue and he doesn't recommend me removing my tonsils. So now I'm stuck waiting for my GI appointment in October whilst dealing with trouble swallowing every. single. day. This is making me depressed, sad, and I've been crying daily. The lack of eating has made me very tired, weak, dizzy, hard to remember somethings/hard to think , very hungry, hard to sleep, layrnx penetration, emotional deregulation, depressed, headaches, muscle spasms, body aches, acid reflux, heartburn, heart palpitations, low energy, and a little dehydrated. Even with all of those symptoms hospitals refuse to admit me and expect me to wait for my GI and neorgology appointments. Everyday is dreadful and I hate my life right now. What do y'all suggest me to do? I can't keep on living like this for months, it's draining🫠

I've been dealing with a swallowing issue for 3 1/2 weeks and it's getting worse by the day. I've seen different doctors, ENT, and hospitals and they just run blood work and ct scans and never admit me. I now am on a liquid only diet because that's I can swallow. I've been eating 500-700 cals a day and already lost 14 pounds! I don't know what healthy foods to eat so I don't get malnutrition. I recently been experiencing an itchy throat when I eat dairy products like cheese and milk. Please give me some recommendations for drinks I can drink to stay healthy and not loose any more weight!!

I was eating some Greek yogurt for dessert and a spoon full of it when down the wrong "hole" in my throat. It was difficult to breathe a little and my throat feels weird and scratchy feeling and my nose feels a bit congested. Will I be fine? I was supposed to go to bed in 2 hours, should I stay up a little longer or will I be fine

I got diagnosed with acute tonsillitis on August 1st at the hospital and was prescribed an antibiotic called cephlaxin to take for 7 days only. The doctors said it would temporarily help my inflamed tonsils and it would make eating/drinking better. So I took the cephlaxin for 7 days thinking it would help somewhat. Well boy was I wrong 🫩.. It gave me a horrible headache everyday I took it, toothaches, 'fuzzy' teeth, stomach pain, dry mouth, yellow teeth, and tonsils are still swollen 🫠 I can barely drink water, Pedialyte, soups, bone broth, milkshakes, smoothies, tea or any liquids or foods. I've lost over 13 pounds in 3 weeks. I am dehydrated, hungry, throat hurts, tired, and low energy. I don't know what to eat or do at this point. I want a tonsillectomy but that takes at least a week to get in plus it would be even HARDER to eat/drink. I've been crying every.single.day since I got tonsillitis and im very depressed right now. It's ruining my health, mental health, and life. Please give me advice! 💞

❤️* fulfilled* ❤️ I have had acute tonsillitis for the past 3 weeks and it's been very hard to swallow solid foods an im really low on money right now. Could someone kindly give me a free coupon for a shake, smoothie or icecream please? My throats hurts and something cold would make it feel a bit better right now. Thank you so much!! 💞☺️

For the past 4 days, I've had video game websites pop up and I get redirected to the website. I press the back button on my phone and it redirects to a different game website over and over. I did go to one of those Pinterest video downloader websites and I think might have got a virus or something from that. Can someone tell me how to get rid of it. It only pops up on TikTok and I downloaded virus detectors ony phone and it isn't helping.

I've had difficulty swallowing for at least 3 years now and its been on and off. I think I developed it from having a eating disorder in the past (skipping meals and throwing up sometimes) . Then a few months later I developed GERD and would get the worst acid reflux all the time and constant burps after I eat. Now, I have a swallowing issue (maybe dyphasiga?) that comes for a week or two each month. It's extremely hard to eat solid foods like meat, pasta, crackers, veggies and fruits without chewing 30+ times for a small bite. I feel at war with my own body. I've been crying everyday for the last few days because I can't eat the foods I want to eat. It's even difficult to drink water and protein shakes. I have a appointment scheduled for Wednesday for speech therapy but I need help before then. Im barely eating 700 calories a day and I feel tired, hard to sleep at night, weak and heart palpitations at night. Literally two weeks ago I could eat burgers, salads, and pasta but now I can't even eat any solid food. Can someone give me advice on foods to eat that are healthy an high on calories and recommendations on how to get back to swallowing food again?? Thanks a lot 💞🙏
