I'm dealing with this constant itch and pain inside my ear, plus there's this ringing noise that just won't go away. It's been happening for about 23 days now. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Throat pain can be quite uncomfortable.

Before providing a prescription, consider:

  • Staying hydrated with warm fluids like tea or broth
  • Gargling with salt water
  • Using a humidifier
  • Avoiding spicy or acidic foods

For relief, you can try:

  • Pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen
  • Throat lozenges or sprays containing phenol or menthol

However, for a personalized prescription and proper diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.

Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to evaluate the bump on the back of your tongue and the uneasy feeling of something stuck in your throat
