Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello! I woke up at 4am to a pain in left ear. throughout the day, I am having sharp pains in it. my throat hurts, just on that left side. Hurts a bit when I swallow. also, seems like my glands are swollen too. I work in pharmacy and was wondering if anyting OTC would help or if I need a script?? thank you!
I think you are suffering from tonsilitis and the pain of ear comes due to it. Maybe antibiotics are needed, Azithromycin is effective 500mg for three days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
