I've been struggling for a while with some leftover symptoms from the flu I had about 3 weeks back. The fever and body aches are gone, but the sore throat and ear ache just won't quit. Now, I've also got this annoying muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. I tried taking Cataflam, and it seemed to work wonders for about 2-3 days, but now it does nothing, even when I take one every day. There's still a bit of a stuffy nose hanging around too. It's weird because I don't have tonsils anymore, so I'm just wondering what's going on. Any advice on what this could be or what I should do next?

View allI'm having this persistent pain on the left side of my throat that started last May. I had an endoscopy, but nothing showed up. The pain eased for a while, but now it's back. It's really painful under my tongue, especially deep on the left side, almost like a sore. The rest of my tongue feels fine. I'm kind of worried and just need to understand what might be going on. Can you help me figure this out?
A lump between the ear and jaw can be concerning! Given your age and symptoms, possible causes include: 1. *Lymphadenitis*: Inflamed lymph nodes due to infection (e.g., ear, throat, or dental issues). 2. *Parotid gland swelling*: Inflammation of the parotid gland, which can be caused by infection, blockage, or trauma. 3. *Abscess or cyst*: A collection of pus or fluid that can cause pain and swelling. It's essential to consult a doctor, preferably an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. Physical examination 2. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) 3. Blood tests to check for infection or inflammation In the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce pain and discomfort.

I'm having this constant throat irritation and it gets even worse after I eat. It feels like there's something stuck, and I just want to clear my throat all the time. It's really bothering me, especially at night, and it's making it hard for me to sleep. Do you have any idea why this might be happening or how I can ease this discomfort?

I've had a sinus infection since I was 16, and I've tried so many antibiotics like Cefixime, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin, and Azithromycin, but none of them are working for me anymore. I'm really stuck and unsure of what to try next. Is there any other treatment I could consider?
