I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my neck just below the ear, and it's been happening for the past two weeks. Sometimes my throat hurts too, and it feels like there's something stuck in my left ear. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

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 dealing with thick, sticky mucus in my nose and throat constantly, and now there's this weird cracking sound between my ear and nose. I've attached my CT scan do you think I should consider surgery right away or wait a few more months until the pandemic settles down? I'm not sure how urgent this is.

kindly share ct scan
