I'm having a lot of pain when I press on my tragus, antitragus, or anywhere in between, and it's been going on since Wednesday. It even wakes me up when I'm sleeping, because it just suddenly starts hurting at random times during the day too. I'm really worried about it. What could be causing this?

You seem to be suffering from furuncle of the ear canal which is common ear infection arising in root of hair follicles. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers for few days

I'm a bit worried because I've had a bad cold for several days, but now my sore throat has gotten really bothersome. It started out like a regular sore throat, but then two days ago I woke up and spat out mucus that had half mucus and half blood in it, which freaked me out a bit. I remember having a tough crusted pizza before it started, thinking maybe that had something to do with it. Now today, I've been spitting up a lot of mucus and noticed tiny amounts of blood too. Should I be concerned about this?
