I've been dealing with this discomfort for over a week now, like something is stuck in my throat and just won't go away. It's not affecting my eating, but it's really bothering me. Any idea what this could be or how to get rid of it?

Heaviness in the head, ear blockage, and facial pain can be uncomfortable.
Considering your raised IgE and nasal corticosteroid medication, possible causes include:
- Allergic rhinitis exacerbation
- Sinus pressure or infection
- Eustachian tube dysfunction
Consult your doctor or an ENT specialist to discuss:
- Adjusting your medication
- Additional treatments (e.g., decongestants, antihistamines)
- Further evaluation (e.g., sinus imaging, allergy testing)

It sounds like you're experiencing pain in your tragus, which could be due to an infection, inflammation, or even pressure on the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like an ear infection or cartilage irritation.

I'm dealing with a really bad throat infection and my doctor prescribed Azithromycin 500 mg for 5 days. I'm a bit worried about taking antibiotics for that long. Is it really okay to take Azithromycin for 5 days straight? Does it help with throat infections, or should I be looking out for anything in particular while I'm on it?
Azithromycin 500mg is prescribed for 3 days for most bacterial infections, but a 5-day course may be recommended for certain conditions, such as streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat); since your doctor has prescribed it for 5 days for your throat infection, it's likely appropriate, but always follow their instructions and complete the full course.
