I've been having this mild pain on the right side of my throat. It's sort of around the mid to lower area, but I don't have a fever or a sore throat. It's been bothering me a bit, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any idea what might be causing this?

Right side throat pain with no fever or sore throat could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or even a mild infection. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, you can try gargling with warm salt water to soothe the throat. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing pain on the right side of my throat near my Adam's apple for a few weeks now. It's really uncomfortable when I blow my nose and occasionally when I swallow. Just today I started coming down with a cold, along with a stuffy nose and sore throat. But this type of pain is something I haven't had before during a cold. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

I've got a really odd situation going on. I threw up a cheeseburger and fries, and it was so intense that somehow it came out of my nose and even my ears. I'm confused and a bit worriedhow could this happen? I was literally cleaning bits of food out of my ears with cotton swabs and alcohol. Now, it's been about 72 hours, and while I've managed to get most of it out of my nose, it still feels like there's something stuck in my ear canals. Is this something I should be really worried about, and is there anything else I can do to clear it out?

That's impossible that food coming out of ears, your ear might have got blocked, practice valsalva for relief,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

My eardrum ruptured six months ago from using a cotton swab and still hasn't healed. There's some mild pain but no pus. Is it normal for it to take this long to heal or would I need surgery?
