I'm having a lot of pain on the left side of my throat and the back of my tongue over there, plus my left ear is aching really bad. I don't have a cold, but it really hurts when I swallow. What could be causing this?

Could be indicative of a condition known as tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is often caused by a viral or bacterial infection and can result in inflammation and pain in the throat, tongue, and ear. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can try using throat lozenges to soothe your throat. It is also important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've been feeling this mild pain on the left side of my throat, but only when I yawn. It's weird because swallowing food doesn't hurt at all. This has been happening on and off for the past week. The pain seems to be on the outside rather than inside my throat, and there's no swelling that I can see. What could this be? Is there something I should be worried about?
Could be due to muscle strain or irritation. Since you do not experience pain while swallowing food and there is no swelling in your throat, it is less likely to be an infection. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help with the discomfort. Additionally, you can try using throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water to soothe the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm curious if it's normal to cough up a bit of blood right after having a nose bleed. Should I be worried about this?
yes due to some straining sometimes blood comes out its normal

I've been dealing with this annoying nose issue ever since I got hit with a football a while back. My nose was bleeding at first, but that was just once and luckily the pain has gone away. But I've been stuck with this cold and a blocked nose, especially the left side, ever since. Ive been using Nosikind 0.1 but it only helps temporarily, and after around 6 to 7 hours, the blockage comes back. At the start, it was super bad, but now its a bit less intense. Still, I haven't seen any real improvement this past week. What should I do next? Any advice?
