A member asked:
My 24 yo son has recurrent infection of lingual tonsils...strong antibiotics and antacids are all that is offered by docs. any advice?

Talk to ENT: You may want to have this discussion with an ENT surgeon. There may be other options, which include surgery, that can help. The antacids make me think that something else may be going on, is there a history of reflux? Good luck.
