Hello, You are suffering from gout after taking amoxycillin. Amoxycillin does not cause gout. Gout occurs due to excessive formation of Uric acid in the blood. This in turn crystallizes forming tiny sharp crystals that are trapped in synovial joints and cause stiffness and pain. To control symptoms of gout, do regular exercises. Take low purine diet. Avoid taking red meat and dairy products, take more fruits and vegetables. You can take moderate amounts of well cooked grains. You also had strep throat, presently you are suffering from clogged ears. Take non sedating anti histamines and decongestants. It will help to relieve clogged ears. Get clinically examined by an ENT, you may need a course of antibiotics. The ENT will detect any impacted wax, common cold, middle ear infections, swimmers ears , etc. You will be treated accordingly. Do not prick or fiddle your ears with tooth picks , etc. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
