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

View allI'm experiencing really intense pain on one side of my face and I've just started swimming. It began with a slight cold but has gotten way worse over the last couple of days. Could you suggest any immediate medication that might help? I'm planning on seeing the doctor tomorrow, but until then, any advice would be great. I've tried taking steam but it only helped a little bit and the pain is still really bad.
Drink plenty of fluids, such as water or juice. This will help dilute mucous secretions and promote drainage. Avoid beverages that contain caffeine or alcohol, as they can be dehydrating. Drinking alcohol can also worsen the swelling of the lining of the sinuses and nose. Moisten your sinus cavities. Drape a towel over your head as you breathe in the vapor from a bowl of hot water. Keep the vapor directed toward your face. Or take a hot shower, breathing in the warm, moist air. This will help ease pain and help mucus drain. Apply warm compresses to your face. Place warm, damp towels around your nose, cheeks and eyes to ease facial pain..Consult nearest ent surgeon they will do the needful.

Lately, I've been getting this weird chest pain right in the center every morning and it's making me really worried what could be going on?

I'm taking Terol LA 4 mg, and a few hours later, my mouth feels super dry, and my throat gets really tight. It's making it hard for me to eat. What should I do about this?
To help with these side effects, you can try sucking on sugar-free candies or chewing sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva production. Additionally, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also help alleviate dry mouth. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible adjustment of your medication dosage.
