I'm having a lot of discomfort in my throat whenever I eat or drink. It started about two days ago, and it feels like theres something blocking my throat on one side. But now, it's gotten worse and much more painful, and I feel it in three different areas. I looked at it in the mirror, and it seems like the hole at the base of my tongue has become narrower and more reddish. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm worried because yesterday I made a mistake and used hand sanitizer on my face and inside my nostrils when something dirty fell on me. I know I shouldn't have done it, and now I'm a bit concerned about any possible issues. I'm having a slight headache and the air I breathe through my nose feels warm. Could the alcohol in the hand sanitizer be drying out my nostrils? Could there be any side effects from this?

No there are no such side effects,no need to worry, take rest you will be fine.

I've been dealing with some really bad ear pain for the last three days, and it's only in my left ear. It's so painful that I can't even eat anything. It feels like there's something stuck in there, but when I try to put my finger in to check, it just hurts too much. What could be going on with my ear, and should I be worried about this?

Throat tightness or blockage can be unsettling. Before suggesting medicines, consider: - Allergies or environmental irritants - Acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) - Anxiety or stress - Muscle tension For relief, try: - Antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine for allergies - Antacids or proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux - Relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation for anxiety - Throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water for soothing Consult a doctor for personalized advice and proper diagnosis.
