I've been having a rough time with a throat infection for the last four days after eating some oily food. I don't have a cold or cough, but my throat is really dry and it hurts every time I swallow. There's also a little bit of body pain going on. I took Erythro 250 and Colgin Plus, but they're not helping. What could be going on, and what should I do to feel better?

You can take an antibiotic like Augmentin 625mg twice a day for 5-7 days to target the infection. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for the body aches and throat pain. Make sure to drink plenty of warm fluids and get adequate rest to help your body recover. Ensure to consult a doctor before starting any medication.

View allI've been dealing with really bad sinus issues for the past few days, and it's causing intense headaches, especially on the left side of my face. The pain is pretty severe, and even though I saw a doctor who prescribed meds, nothing's helping. They mentioned sinus surgery as an option do you perform that? I also have insurance and wanted to check if it's covered. What do you think I should do next?
Intense, left-sided headaches accompanied by sinus issues could indicate a sinus infection or other sinus-related conditions. To manage these symptoms, try saline nasal sprays, warm compresses, and steam inhalation. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult a doctor.

I'm dealing with some discomfort and am hoping for some advice. About a week ago, I had a canker sore on my right tonsil and I took azithromycin and flexon, which seemed to clear it up. But now I have this persistent acid reflux and my right ear hurts with some swelling in my throat right under the ear. I'm still using flexon for the pain, but Im worried about what's causing all this. Can you help me understand what's going on and how to get some relief?
