I'm dealing with some really bad throat pain and I'm not sure what to do. Can I use Ciprofloxacin 500 for it, or is levofloxacin a better option? I'm having a tough time with this pain and would appreciate any advice you could give me. Its pretty unbearable right now.

My doctor recommended septoplasty in early February because I often feel suffocated. I have a really important exam in mid-March if I get the surgery in February, will I recover enough to handle both? Right now I'm using fluticasone nasal spray and taking oral allergy meds

post 16 yrs sx is advised.continue fluticosone spray.

I've noticed that one side of my soft palate seems to rise whenever I try to spit, and it's pretty painful. But oddly enough, I don't feel any pain when I'm swallowing food or drinks. What could be causing this?

That could be mucosal congestion or dryness stay hydrated and consume warm foods this will help you in clearing your problem.

So I've been dealing with a perforated eardrum, and my ENT mentioned it should heal with time. They gave me antibiotics, Himalaya Oxitard, and Vertin 8 mg to help out. My ear feels much better now, but there's still this ringing sound that comes and goes. Vertin seems to really help with it. Do you think it's alright for me to keep taking Vertin 8 mg and Himalaya Oxitard for a while longer?

Yes you can take it and visit doctor for appropriate treatment.
