What Causes Ear Ache While Swallowing Food?
Question: Hi I was having severe earache when I tried to swallow food. I went to an ENT specialist and he prescribed me PAN D tablets, Soliwax ear drops and chymoral forte. He also asked me to get a neck MRI and blood test for vitamin D3 and B12 Done suspecting OSAS and TMJ. I have attached the test results. After that he prescribed me Vitamin D Rise 60K and Bcosule tablets. Is that enough? I need a second opinion if this is something serious.
Brief Answer:
Antibiotics are needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The medicines that you have been prescribed are due to the vitamin D3 and B12 deficiency. The pain in the ear that you have is due to the enlarged lymph nodes that can be due to an infection in the nearby area. In addition to the medicines that you are taking you need a pain killer and an oral broad spectrum antibiotic for relief. You can start taking ibuprofen after meals thrice a day and get a suitable antibiotic prescribed like azithromycin or Co-amoxyclav for a complete relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
