I've noticed a lump between my ear and jaw that's been sore for about three days now. It hasn't changed in size and doesn't seem like it can move around. I'm 18, so I'm a bit worried. Any idea what it might be?

Excessive sneezing and nasal congestion can be frustrating!
Given your symptoms and the ineffectiveness of Fexofenadine, consider the following options:
- Consult an Allergist: For comprehensive allergy testing to identify specific allergens triggering your symptoms.
- Nasal Sprays: Add a nasal spray to your treatment, such as:
- Azelastine (antihistamine)
- Fluticasone (steroid)
- Ipratropium (anticholinergic)
- Immunotherapy: If allergy testing reveals specific allergens, consider immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual tablets) for long-term relief.
- Saline Nasal Irrigation: Regularly rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution to remove allergens and reduce congestion.
- HEPA Filters: Use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your home to reduce allergen exposure.
Discuss these options with your ENT doctor or allergist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

View allI have a hole in my eardrum and my doctor suggested surgery. Is surgery the right option for me? Will it help improve my hearing since I already have 30% hearing loss? I'm a bit nervous about whether it'll work or not.
Surgery helps close eardrum and improve hearing; outcomes depend on size of hole and nerve status—risk of no improvement is low if done properly.

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and dealing with a throat infection. I've been advised to take Taxim 200, but I've always associated it with being prescribed for diarrhea, while Amoxicillin was what I used for throat infections. I'm wondering if Taxim is really suitable for treating throat infections as well. Any insights?
Yes you can use Taxim for throat infection too no problem ot will work.
