I've been having this pain right on the side of my Adam's apple, and it's pretty tender when I press on it from the outside. It really hurts when I swallow, but it's not like a regular sore throat 'cause it doesn't hurt at the back of my throat. It's more at the front, and if I tense up like before sneezing or when yawning, it hurts even more. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

You may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the area around your Adam's apple. This could be due to a condition called thyroiditis. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can try using a warm compress on the area to help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm dealing with this constant itch and pain inside my ear, plus there's this ringing noise that just won't go away. It's been happening for about 23 days now. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
Throat pain can be quite uncomfortable. Before providing a prescription, consider: - Staying hydrated with warm fluids like tea or broth - Gargling with salt water - Using a humidifier - Avoiding spicy or acidic foods For relief, you can try: - Pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen - Throat lozenges or sprays containing phenol or menthol However, for a personalized prescription and proper diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor.
