I'm dealing with a really bad sinus infection, and while my cough and nasal blockage have gotten better, my ears still feel blocked. Since yesterday, every time I yawn, there's pain either in my throat or mouth, and I can't really pinpoint the exact spot. Could this be related to the cold and blocked ears, or is there something else going on?

View allI've had small holes near my ears since I was a kid and never knew what they were. Recently I noticed that when I press near the holes, some fluid comes out. I read online that these might need surgery if infected - how can I tell if mine are infected or something serious? The fluid thing is making me a bit worried.
Those small holes near your ears sound like preauricular pits, which are usually harmless congenital features. If the area becomes red, swollen, painful, or if the fluid is thick, yellow, or has a bad smell, it may be infected and needs medical attention. If you experience recurrent infections or discomfort, surgery might be considered. I recommend seeing a doctor for an evaluation to be sure.

I'm a bit worried because I've had a bad cold for several days, but now my sore throat has gotten really bothersome. It started out like a regular sore throat, but then two days ago I woke up and spat out mucus that had half mucus and half blood in it, which freaked me out a bit. I remember having a tough crusted pizza before it started, thinking maybe that had something to do with it. Now today, I've been spitting up a lot of mucus and noticed tiny amounts of blood too. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm really struggling with a sore throat and it's becoming hard to swallow my saliva. I think it might be a bacterial infection. Do you have any suggestions on what medication I should take to feel better?
Throat pain and difficulty swallowing saliva could be a sign of a bacterial infection like strep throat. It's important to consult with a doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic like amoxicillin or azithromycin. In the meantime, you can use throat lozenges and warm saline gargles for relief.
