What Causes Severe Pain In The Throat And Difficulty In Swallowing?
My 15 yr old son is complaining of extreme pain in his throats and glands, he has difficulty swallowing, a raised temp and now a sore ear. He is concerning me because he says he has never before felt so unwell. I'm treating him with the usual home remedies but nothing seems to be helping.. should I be concerned?
Hello dear I understand your concern Symptoms could be due to upper respiratory infection/sore throat, tonsillitis. Infection of throat can transfer to ear and produce middle ear infection and sore ear. I would suggest to consult ENT specialist for examination and take proper treatment. Following treatment will help you: Drugs like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain Local pain killer for the throat such as choloroseptic spray Drugs like diomnic DA Precribed antibiotic like azithromycin Drink plenty of luke warm water Strepsils lozenges every 3-4 hourly Take proper rest and take soft diet Steam inhalation Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
