I'm really worried because I've been having this pain in my left ear and the area around it, and it feels like my head's really heavy on the left side, almost numb sometimes. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've noticed a small, white, pimple-like spot on the right side of my throat that's been there for about 10-12 days now. I've started taking Becasoule and Cetirizine for the past two days, but I'm not sure if that's helping. Should I be worried about this, or is there something else I should be doing?

I'm a bit worried because last night while I was eating my meal of rice and fish, my mum brought home takeout from Hardee's. I couldn't resist and took a big bite of the burger along with a spoonful of rice, and soon after, I felt pain in my throat. Do you think this could be something serious, or maybe just a reaction to eating different things together?
This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as irritation from the food you ate or possibly an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort in your throat, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets) to help with any acid reflux that may be causing the pain. Additionally, you can also try gargling with warm salt water to help soothe your throat. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to seek medical advice.
