I've been hearing a whooshing sound in my neck, especially when I'm trying to fall asleep. It's really bothering me. Along with that, I feel dizzy and have this constant irritation on my forehead. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I've had this bad throat for about a week, and I've been managing it with saltwater gargles. But last night, I experienced severe pain in my ear, so I took ALTHROCIN 500. The ear pain seems to be gone this morning, but now my ear feels closed. Is it alright that I took ALTHROCIN, especially since I've already taken two tablets?

you have allergic pharyngitis and reflux. You can add an antiallergic which suits you and also an antacid
