Why would the inside of my ear feel sore and the back of my throat, especially when I swallow?!
Question: Why would the inside of my ear feel sore and the back of my throat, especially when I swallow.?
I've checked WebMD..com and couldn't find any info to help.. Yesterday and earlier today I felt like maybe I had allergies.. I had to blow my nose a few times, and my throat felt a little sore.. Earlier this afternoon, the inside of my left ear started to hurt a little, too.. It doesn't hurt really bad, it feels kinda like a sore throat.. It bothers me the most every time I swallow..
Is this normal.... like just allergies or something.? Is it something I should be concerned about.?
Is there any simple home remedy I can do to make it feel better.?
(Oh, and just in case any nurses are here to answer my question: My diet hasn't changed lately, and I haven't taken any medication for anything except for Milk of Magnesia that I took a couple days ago for constipation.. I'd never had MoM before, so I don't know if it's a reaction to that..)Health Question & Answer

Answers:
If you're running fever, then you need to see a Dr.. It could be strep and that requires antibiotics
A home remedy we use here is some warm tap water, mixed w/ about a tbsp of salt and about a half a cup of lemon juice.. Soothes the throat very well..
also, take tylenol for the pain.. If you're having trouble sleeping, maybe try tylenol pm.?.?Health Question & Answer
