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.

I'm really worried about my mom. She has a peanut caught in her throat. It's been almost 4 hours now. She's able to breathe fine, but swallowing anything is making her really uncomfortable. What should we do? Should we be seeing someone or is there something we can try doing at home to help her out?

It sounds like your mother may have a foreign body sensation in her throat due to the peanut. I recommend she take 1-2 tablespoons of liquid antacid to help coat the throat and reduce discomfort. Additionally, she can try eating a small piece of banana or bread to help push the peanut down. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, she should seek medical attention immediately.

I've been having these really painful mouth and throat ulcers. Drinking water feels impossible because it hurts so much, but oddly enough, eating doesn't seem to bother me as much. I'm just kind of worried and wondering what might be going on. Is there anything I can do to help relieve the pain, or should I be concerned about something more serious?

You seem to be suffering from apthous ulcer of the mouth and throat. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can use symptomatic treatment such as painkillers and anesthetic local applications for few day
