Question

I've got this large ulcer on the wall of my left tonsil. It all began as a small ulcer about six days ago, but now it's blown up to be 1 inch high and 12 inches in diameter. My doctor gave me some antibiotics to take, but I'm just wondering how long it's usually supposed to take for something like this to heal up?

Question

I've been struggling with this sore throat for about a month now, and it's really starting to worry me. I've been on clavam 625 and signoflam for three days, but honestly, I don't see much of a difference. Im also doing steam inhalations and gargling, but those only help for a little while. What do you think I should do next?

Question

I've been having a rough time with a throat infection for the last four days after eating some oily food. I don't have a cold or cough, but my throat is really dry and it hurts every time I swallow. There's also a little bit of body pain going on. I took Erythro 250 and Colgin Plus, but they're not helping. What could be going on, and what should I do to feel better?

Question

I've been having issues lately with my ears. After using ear drops, they feel blocked now, and it's got me worried. I've also been dealing with ear and throat itching and a heavy head for about 20 days. I've tried taking cetirizine, paracetamol, and an antibiotic, but nothing seems to be helping. What could be going on?
