It's been four days since I tested positive and my throat is really sore. It's so painful that even drinking water is tough. Could you suggest any remedy that might help with this?

To soothe a sore throat and make hydration easier, try these remedies: gargle with warm salt water (14 teaspoon salt in 8 ounces of water), use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, sip on warm, non-caffeinated liquids like tea or broth

I'm feeling really uncomfortable with this persistent issue. For about ten days now, I've been experiencing pain, itching, and a pinching sensation in my throat. It also feels like there's some kind of blockage. On top of that, my nose feels blocked, and I've had ongoing pain with a swollen sensation in my right ear. Could this be due to strep throat, and should I be worried? What steps should I take to get relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection. For Strep Throat, you can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 10 days. For the blockage sensation in your nose, you can use Flonase nasal spray 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. And for the pain and swelling sensation in your right ear, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief.

I'm experiencing some popping and crackling sounds in my ears, especially when I swallow. It's mostly happening on the left side, but occasionally on the right too. I've also noticed some pain below my ear. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this, and do I need to see a specialist?
No,it's not possible for an insect to settle down there,the noise could be due to fluid movement which is due to ear effusion, practice valsalva, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
