View allI'm having a lot of trouble with persistent pain on one side of my throat, and it's affecting my ear, neck, and face. My eye also feels irritated. I've been dealing with this for a long time, even though I had a septoplasty about a year ago. The right side of my throat seems constantly infected, and it's making it hard for me to swallow and eat things like sour or oily foods. This issue also acts up when I'm outside. It's really making life difficult for me. What could be going on, and what should I do?
Given the complexity and persistence of your symptoms, its important to consult with an ENT specialist, as they can evaluate the full range of possible causes, from chronic infections to sinusitis or TMJ disorders. In addition to medical treatments, lifestyle adjustments and stress management can help you cope with the discomfort.

I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening for quite a while now. Whenever I chew my food or drink something, I notice this buzzing sound in my right ear. It starts internally and stops about 10-15 seconds after I stop chewing. This has been going on for about 45 months, and I'm wondering what's causing it and if there's a way to stop it. Any insights?
The buzzing sound you're experiencing in your right ear when chewing could be related to Eustachian tube dysfunction, TMJ disorder, or even tinnitus. These conditions are often treatable, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen. The doctor can help determine the exact cause and recommend the appropriate treatment for you.

I'm really struggling with my left nostril being blocked for over a month now, and it's tough to breathe easily. It's causing me these massive headaches and my nose keeps running. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?
Sounds like a painful and uncomfortable situation! Your symptoms suggest: 1. *Tonsillitis*: Inflammation of the tonsils, likely caused by a bacterial (e.g., streptococcal) or viral infection. 2. *Strep throat*: A bacterial infection that can cause swollen, red, and white-spotted tonsils. Seek medical attention from an *ENT specialist* or a *primary care physician*. They may: 1. Perform a *rapid strep test* or *throat culture* to confirm the diagnosis. 2. Prescribe *antibiotics* (if bacterial) or recommend *supportive care* (if viral). 3. Provide guidance on *pain management* and *hydration*. In the meantime, try: 1. *Staying hydrated* with plenty of fluids. 2. *Gargling with salt water* to soothe the throat. 3. *Using a humidifier* to add moisture to the air. Feel better soon!
