I'm dealing with some pretty bad throat pain that's been going on for about 3 days now. I tried taking omega erythro and nimucet twice a day, and it seemed to help at first, but now the pain is back. Any ideas on what might be going on or what I should do next?

I've been experiencing a dry cough whenever I talk and sometimes even when I'm just breathing. I usually deal with sinus issues, but I haven't had any recent cold or fever. Should I be concerned about this cough, and do you think it might be linked to my sinus problem? What could be causing this, and how can I find some relief?

Your persistent dry cough, especially while speaking and breathing, despite no recent cold or fever, may be related to your underlying sinus issues, potentially triggering postnasal drip, acid reflux, or irritation of the throat and airways, so consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialis

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?
