How To Cure Sore Throat Which Is Causing Difficulty In Swallowing & Pain In Ears?

I have a very sore throat with difficulty swallowing and thick saliva and shooting pains into both ears. I have several canker sores in my mouth and throat. I started a few days ago with a fever and very fatigued with lots of muscle weakness. That is gone but has now turned into this sore throat problem.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have an infection in throat that is leading to sore throat along with thick mucous and ear aches..
As you still have sore throat I would suggest you to take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, Anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles and steam inhalation..
Use a humidifier in your room..
In case if there is fever again you can take Tylenol to reduce fever..
You can suck throat lozenges..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods and sip on plenty of warm water..
You can take a soft diet and ample of fluids..
In case of still there is no improvement consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture and blood tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
