I'm feeling really uncomfortable with this persistent issue. For about ten days now, I've been experiencing pain, itching, and a pinching sensation in my throat. It also feels like there's some kind of blockage. On top of that, my nose feels blocked, and I've had ongoing pain with a swollen sensation in my right ear. Could this be due to strep throat, and should I be worried? What steps should I take to get relief?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection. For Strep Throat, you can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 10 days. For the blockage sensation in your nose, you can use Flonase nasal spray 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. And for the pain and swelling sensation in your right ear, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief.

I've been dealing with a runny nose for about three weeks now. Whenever I take my medication, it seems to get better, but as soon as I stop, it comes back. I'm currently on levocetirizine, montekast, Sinarest, metaspray, and nip-slip tablets. I'm worried this isn't going away. Could it be something I'm missing or not doing right?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you may have a narrow esophagus or a condition called esophageal dysmotility, which can cause food particles to get stuck. The feeling of something stuck in your throat, even after recovering from a sore throat, could be related to this. Tonsil stones can also cause discomfort. However, without examining the picture and considering your overall medical history, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I strongly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and guidance. They may perform an endoscopy or imaging tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I've been dealing with this cough for 23 days now, and it's getting really frustrating. I'm coughing up this greenish-yellow mucus, and every single time I cough, I can't breathe and start gagging. On top of that, my nose is super congested, my tonsils are all inflamed, and I've got this really terrible ear pain. What could be going on here? Should I be concerned about this combination of symptoms?

I've just had a nosebleed not too long ago, and now my nose is hurting a bit. My left nostril, where the nosebleed happened, feels like there's something hanging around in it. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I can do to make it feel better?
