Question

I'm feeling really uncomfortable with this persistent issue. For about ten days now, I've been experiencing pain, itching, and a pinching sensation in my throat. It also feels like there's some kind of blockage. On top of that, my nose feels blocked, and I've had ongoing pain with a swollen sensation in my right ear. Could this be due to strep throat, and should I be worried? What steps should I take to get relief?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection. For Strep Throat, you can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 10 days. For the blockage sensation in your nose, you can use Flonase nasal spray 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. And for the pain and swelling sensation in your right ear, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief.

Question

I've been noticing these bubbles at the back of my throat and on the back of my tongue, close to where my throat starts. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck back there, but it's not painful, just kind of uncomfortable. I've tried using salt water, but it doesn't seem to do much. Any idea what I should do about this?
