I'm using otomize ear spray for an ear infection, but after a few days, it doesn't seem to be helping. It's still really painful, and now my neck glands under the infected ear are swollen and tender. Plus, I've developed a sore throat. Should I consider making an appointment to see if they could give me a different prescription?

Ive been feeling this sharp sensation on the right side of my neck whenever I drink water. It started with cold water, but now it happens with regular water too. It's been a couple of days since this started. Any idea what could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing throat pain or sensitivity. This could be due to various reasons such as throat infection, muscle strain, or even acid reflux. I recommend taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) as needed for the discomfort. Additionally, you can try using a throat lozenge or gargling with warm salt water to soothe the irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
