Suggest Treatment Chest Congestion, Sneezing And Crackling Ears

I had symptoms of a cold; head congestion, sneezing and crackling ears when I swallowed, now the base of my throat hurts when I drink or eat and hurts to the touch, but my tonsils are not sore. It's not a burning sore throat, almost feels like a bruise and restricts with movement

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic

Looking at your symptoms I am of the opinion that you are having Acute Pharyngitis with Sinusitis.

Acute Pharyngitis is infection of throat which could be caused by virus or bacteria. It is important to differentiate between these two as treatment is different for these two .

I advise you to get Throat swab Culture Sensitivity test done which will be helpful in differentiating between Viral and bacterial infection. Kindly revert back to me with the report.

Till then do salt water gargling, drink hot water, Avoid Non veg and oily food . Avoid Citrus Fruits.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
I find this answer helpful
