I'm having this constant pain in my ear, like right on that little flap part, the tragus. It really hurts, especially when I press on it. I'm worried and not sure what's causing it. What could be going on with my ear?

It sounds like you're experiencing pain in your tragus, which could be due to an infection, inflammation, or even pressure on the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like an ear infection or cartilage irritation.

Question

I'm really worried because for the past three months, I've had this constant excess mucus in my throat. I feel like I need to clear my throat all the time, and sometimes it even gets sore or I'll have a cough with this sticky mucus. It's frustrating because my throat occasionally turns red too. I'm trying to understand what's going on, but I'm completely stumped. What could be causing this? Is there something specific I should be looking out for or trying to manage it?

I'm dealing with ear pus and some pain. I'm currently taking Indclave 625, Medler, and Laveta tablets. Do you have any advice or recommendations on what else I should do?

Question

I'm feeling some discomfort in my ear and chest, which has been going on for the past couple of days. The weird thing is, it only lasts for about 20 or 30 minutes, and then it just goes away like nothing happened. Should I be worried about this, or is it just some random thing that might sort itself out?
