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've been having this pain in the back of my throat for a while now, like 3 months, and even though Ive seen a few doctors, they didnt seem worried. But I finally saw a gastroenterologist who said I have reflux and also treated me for an intestine infection, which is better now. The chest pain's still there though, and he thought it might be osteochondritis but said it should go if the infection cleared up, which hasn't happened. Im mostly worried because I noticed really dark veins in my throat, and even after finishing a treatment for a throat infection a few days back, there's still some pain. Also, my ear started inflaming about 4 months ago, and while ibuprofen helped last month, it's bothering me again, especially at night. Could this all be connected somehow?
Its good that youve been working with doctors to address your symptoms, but since theyve persisted and seem to be affecting multiple areas, it would be helpful to follow up with specialists, like an ENT or a musculoskeletal specialist, to further evaluate your throat, chest, and ear symptoms. Its possible that the ear pain and throat discomfort are related to your GERD or a lingering infection, but a more thorough examination will help provide clarity.

I'm a guy but my voice sounds really high-pitched and feminine is there any way to fix this? Could it be hormonal or would I need some kind of surgery to change it?

I've got a bit of a situation here. I tried eating a bunch of French fries at once, and I think the sharp edges scratched my throat. Now I've got these little red patches on my throat wall, and it hurts when I swallow. Do you think this will just heal on its own, or should I be taking something for it?
To help with the pain and inflammation, you can try using a throat anesthetic spray to numb the area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to reduce the pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
