I've been having a sore throat on and off for the past few days, and now one of my ears hurts whenever I swallow. It's like something's popping in there when I swallow. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm dealing with tonsillitis and noticed these white patches on my throat, but weirdly, I don't have a fever. There's just a bit of congestion. Do you think it's necessary for me to take Augmentin 625 three times a day after meals for a whole week to deal with this? I've never really taken antibiotics more than once a day before, so I'm a bit uncertain about this dosage. Can you help clear this up for me?

Take it twice a day

OTC options: - SnoreStop (contains natural ingredients like eucalyptus) - SnoreEase (a homeopathic remedy) - Nasal strips or dilators (e.g., Breathe Right) Prescription options (consult a doctor): - Decongestants or nasal steroids (e.g., fluticasone) - Sleep apnea treatments (if diagnosed) Lifestyle changes: - Weight loss (if applicable) - Sleeping on her side - Elevating the head of the bed - Avoiding sedatives or alcohol before bedtime
