I'm having this issue where water got into my ear, and now it feels really full and painful. I've been using Cipla ear wax drops for the past four days, but it's not making any difference. What should I do? Is this something serious?

I've been dealing with this issue where I keep getting mucus in my throat that I have to clear out forcefully. It's pretty annoying, and there aren't any other symptoms or complications that I can notice. I'm not dealing with any other condition either. What could be going on here?

I've been dealing with a runny nose recently, and while that's gotten better, now I've got this weird issue with my throat that seems like an infection. It's causing some pretty bad pain in my ear, especially around the area just behind my last tooth on the right side. I'm really getting worried. Could it be all connected somehow?

It sounds like you may have developed a throat infection which is causing ear pain. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help soothe your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with strep throat for the past two years, and it keeps coming back almost every month. My tonsils get those white and yellow patches, and I also notice small bumps at the back of my tongue. Meds help for a bit, but it never really goes away. Would getting my tonsils removed be a permanent fix for this?
