I've been dealing with a throat infection for over a year now and it's really bothering me. Every time I eat something cold or sweet, my throat starts hurting. I had sinus surgery a year ago could that be related to this ongoing issue? What could be causing this persistent throat pain?

I'm dealing with some really bad throat pain and I'm not sure what to do. Can I use Ciprofloxacin 500 for it, or is levofloxacin a better option? I'm having a tough time with this pain and would appreciate any advice you could give me. Its pretty unbearable right now.

ciprofloxacin 500

I've been having this issue where my left ear feels blocked every morning, and I can only hear faintly until it gradually clears up throughout the day. It's been happening for about 20-25 days now. Do you have any suggestions for wax removal drops that could help?

You can try using Debrox earwax removal drops. Use 5-10 drops in the affected ear, and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to allow the drops to work. You can do this twice a day for up to 4 days to help soften and remove the earwax. If the symptoms persist, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
