I'm feeling a bit worried because I had a sore throat that's improved, but now I'm experiencing pain near my left ear. It's mildly swollen and feels hard. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm dealing with a sore throat and did some hot water and salt gargling. Just wondering, after doing that, how long should I wait before eating?

3-5mins gap is enough, consume warm foods for better results.

I'm noticing a hard bump on the side of my nose, just about an inch below my eye. I initially tried to squeeze it thinking it was a pimple, but nothing came out, and then it disappeared for about an hour before returning. Now it's hard and I'm wondering if it could be an allergic reaction to the nose pads on my glasses since I do have sensitive skin and a history of allergies. Could this really be just an allergy or should I be worried about something else?

As you said that could be Allergic reaction,do not attempt to squeeze it or scratch it, avoid triggering factors stay healthy.
