I've been dealing with some really bad ear pain for the last three days, and it's only in my left ear. It's so painful that I can't even eat anything. It feels like there's something stuck in there, but when I try to put my finger in to check, it just hurts too much. What could be going on with my ear, and should I be worried about this?

Throat tightness or blockage can be unsettling.
Before suggesting medicines, consider:
- Allergies or environmental irritants
- Acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Anxiety or stress
- Muscle tension
For relief, try:
- Antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine for allergies
- Antacids or proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux
- Relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation for anxiety
- Throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water for soothing

I've been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days now, and today it's gotten worse with a sore throat. It's actually making it hard to swallow my own saliva, but weirdly, I don't have the same problem when I'm eating food. I'm really curious why this is happening and what I can do to make it better. Can you help explain what's going on and any treatments I might try?
Your symptoms of cold, cough, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing saliva, but not food, suggest a possible viral pharyngitis or tonsillitis; the reason for this selective difficulty swallowing is likely due to the inflammation and irritation of the throat, which is more pronounced when swallowing thin liquids like saliva, but less noticeable with thicker, more lubricated foods; treatment options include: gargling with warm salt water, sucking on lozenges or ice chips,
