Feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's super annoying and irritating. There's no pain, but I'm really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of this feeling?

It sounds like you may be experiencing globus pharyngeus, which is the sensation of a lump or something stuck in the throat without any actual blockage. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try gargling with warm salt water, drinking plenty of fluids, and sucking on throat lozenges. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to reduce any acid reflux that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, you may consider using an over-the-counter mucolytic agent like Guaifenesin (e.g. Mucinex) to help thin out any mucus that could be causing the sensation.

I'm using otomize ear spray for an ear infection, but after a few days, it doesn't seem to be helping. It's still really painful, and now my neck glands under the infected ear are swollen and tender. Plus, I've developed a sore throat. Should I consider making an appointment to see if they could give me a different prescription?
Yes visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment

I've been dealing with swollen tonsils for about 10 months now, and its starting to worry me. It all started when my doctor said I had viral pharyngitis, which cleared up in a week. But then my left tonsil swelled up without any pain, and a few weeks later, the other one did too. It's been a long time now, and the swelling hasn't gone down. Plus, it's giving me bad breath and other problems. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?
Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin can be prescribed to help reduce the swelling and infection in your tonsils. If the antibiotics do not improve the condition, a tonsillectomy may be considered as a treatment option. Additionally, you can try using a saltwater gargle or throat lozenges to help alleviate the discomfort and bad breath associated with swollen tonsils.
