Ear, nose, throat soreness

hello there. I have been going through severe ear aches related to ear infection that has lasted me more than a while now, and due to glue ear as well causing me to feel like i am on that of  a cruise ship. I was also diagnosed with sinusitis as well as the ear issue in the ENT's office just a few days before it came on strong again. What happens when the glue ear is present it just takes the germs like a syv and drives me (and millions of other people) nuts! I was explained this by a certified audiologist.   It is quite nasty so i know what you are going through. I have been on strong pain meds but those are for extremely bad pain that can't be dealt with through normal tylenol  or advil.   I do not want to suggest anything for you to ask for your doctor that may cause you harm because i do not know your level of tolerance for pain meds. One thing that sometimes works with a mild ache, because believe me, i have had such bad ear pain i have nearly been on the floor with it, is you take a warm wash cloth and place it over your ear. Soak it in the water, rinse it good and make sure it is warm not hot, and also dry to the touch so water doesn't get in your ear. Hold it there for a while and see if it stops bothering you. I am not sure what you could have but i thought i would give you a suggestion that could help with minor ear pain. Your ENT will help you out. I hope he or she will be good to you and you can find out what is troubling you.

i just went to the doctor with similiar symptoms to  yours and my doctor said it was an infection in my ear canal he put me on antibiotics and cataflam to stop the pain and swelling in my ear and my neck. i would ask your doctor to check your ear canal.

   While I am not a professional, I have been suffering with some of the symptoms that you are experiencing.  What has worked for me, is sleeping with my ear initally on a warm heating pad.  That may help with the ear issue.  On the throat side,  While seeing urgent care doctors, my PCP (Primary Care Doctor) you may refer to him as a GP, and my most recent visits to an ENT (Ear Nose & Throat) specialist.  My ENT took me off everything that the previous doctors had me on and put me on an OTC (over the counter) cold and sinus medication to stop the constant sinus drainage that will act as an iratant to the throat causing a sour throat.  (I also find for myself the warmth of a take out of Hot & Sour Soup or general tao chicken can help with the throat).  While my issue could be simular to yours or even different.  Mine started approx 2 months ago with a sinus infection, that went into an upper respiratory infection, sore throat and a dual ear infection.    While I have talked to some friends in my area here, (Live in the U.S. here in Ohio).  Sometime in the begining of the month of October people all picked up simular symptoms.  For some of them, they were over it totally in approximatly 2 weeks,  For others the effects of hearing loss, sore throat, and even temporary loss of voice is still lingering almost 2 months later.  Some have been treated with antibioitics, other by z-packs by their PCP / GP and others have been referred to ENT's  and Audiologies.  Again, not saying this is what is going on for you, this was just part of my story and others from about my area.

Yet the idea of the heating pad, OTC cold and sinus medication and the takeout are just suggesstions to help out and give relief if it can until you can get with the professionals (Doctors) who are much more qualified than I.  Hope this helps.

It feels very bad when i suffer from throat soreness.
