I've been dealing with a runny nose recently, and while that's gotten better, now I've got this weird issue with my throat that seems like an infection. It's causing some pretty bad pain in my ear, especially around the area just behind my last tooth on the right side. I'm really getting worried. Could it be all connected somehow?

It sounds like you may have developed a throat infection which is causing ear pain. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help soothe your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with silent reflux for the past 4 months, and nothing seems to help not even medications like esomeprazole, pantoprazole, or antacids. I've tried lifestyle changes too, but my sore throat won't go away, and my voice keeps getting worse because of vocal cord damage. I've heard mixed opinions about surgery for LPR some say it doesn't work. What do you suggest I do?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I get really bad sinus infections about three times a year since my tonsils and adenoids were taken out when I was in 4th grade. I'm 20 now and these sinus infections just seem to hit me overnight.

I've been feeling a funny sensation in my throat. Theres no fever, cough, or cold, and Im not coughing up any mucus either. It's just this constant irritation, a sort of "kich kich" in the throat. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
