I was dealing with nasal congestion and ear pain, and my doctor prescribed Lasma Ab for two weeks. Unfortunately, I couldn't follow up with the doctor afterward, so I've been continuing the medication. My nasal congestion seems to have improved, but I'm a bit worried. Could taking Lasma Ab for an extra two weeks do any harm?

If you have already taken Lasma AB for four weeks instead of the prescribed two, it is important to stop the medication and contact your doctor to assess whether any adjustments or further actions are needed.

Question

I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone and I'm worried it might be stuck horizontally in my throat. Can you please suggest what I should do?

I've been dealing with red bumps on the back of my throat and tongue for a week now. They're itchy but not really painful. It's winter and everyone's got a cold at work, so I ended up with a mild cold too, and a couple of nights of low fever. I've also been experiencing loose stools. This happened once before, about 8 months ago, when I caught a cold. Should I be worried about the red bumps coming back? What could be causing this, and are there any remedies I should try?

Question

I've been dealing with these bumps on the back of my tongue for the past 20 days. Sometimes my ear starts to hurt too, and I feel discomfort kind of at the back of my teeth. Do you think these symptoms are connected, and should I be worried about them? Could this be something serious?
