Have Tonsil Stones. CT Scan Normal. GI Scope Shows GERD And Throat Irritation. Taking Keflex. Suggestions?

I have been suffering for nine weeks now, havent been able to eat solid foods been living off of liquids. I have tonsil stones my doctor doesnt seem to be concerned!! Ive had a barium swallow and a CT scan on my throat both were normal, had a upper GI scope which showed GERD and irritation in my throat. I feel like at times an object is stuck in my throat other times it just feels as if its in the tonsil area also in my right ear, my ear feels clogged and wont pop. My doctor said i also have post nasal drip . Im taking keflex now incase of any infection. Any suggestions what i can do??? Im hungry and cant eat, feels like im going to choke. Tonsil stones also have my tonsils sore.
