Why Am I Having Pain On The Left Side Of My Body?
The last few days I've experienced some pain the the left side of my body. It started off as an ear ache. Then severe headache only on the left side and just in the back. Then progressed to swelling in my neck, collarbone, and just recently right under my rib cage. I also have a crackling sound in my throat after I cough. Like a bunch of bubbles popping.
