Suggest Medication For Ear Pain And Sore Throat On Left Side Of The Face
Hi I am a 27 year old woman who has had and ear ache and sore throat on the left side of my face for about a five days now, and it seems to be getting worse. When I look in my mouth my tonsils seem to be hanging low and loose to where I can feel it sitting on my tongue making it harder for me to breath. Do I have an ear infection? Will it heal on its own or should I see a doctor.

Hello,
Ear ache is also because of that as it creates negative pressure in ear which causes pain. So, I do not think that you have ear infection.
As per your history, sore throat, ear ache and low hanging tonsils, as a physician I think it may be Tonsillitis. For that, you can take tablet Amox Clav, tablet Okacet cold. I will suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with ENT surgeon.
Along with that, do steam inhalation twice a day and Betadine gargling or saline gargling twice a day. Drink boiled water or purified water and maintain proper hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
