Question

I've been struggling with a sore throat and difficulty swallowing for the last couple of days. It's also becoming hard to talk, and I've noticed a dry cough coming and going. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be worried about anything serious?

If you're experiencing severe swelling after an ant bite, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime:

  1. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  2. Elevate the affected area.
  3. Avoid scratching or rubbing.

If you experience difficulty urinating, severe pain, or breathing issues, go to the emergency room.

Question

So I've been dealing with a perforated eardrum, and my ENT mentioned it should heal with time. They gave me antibiotics, Himalaya Oxitard, and Vertin 8 mg to help out. My ear feels much better now, but there's still this ringing sound that comes and goes. Vertin seems to really help with it. Do you think it's alright for me to keep taking Vertin 8 mg and Himalaya Oxitard for a while longer?

I'm feeling really under the weather and have all the symptoms of strep throat, but my family is saying it's just a seasonal cold. I'm not so sure though. Could you help me figure out if it might actually be strep?
