Right Tonsil, Ear And Jaw Hurts, Light Fever, Nostril Blocked. Use Rhinocort And Gargle With Salty Water

My right tonsil hurts. My right ear hurts. My right side jaw hurts. I feel run down and have mild temperatures on and off all day. My right nostril tends to be blocked most of the time. I also have a mild cough. I use Rhinocort and gargle with salty water as well as steam regularly. I've had these symptoms now for over 2 weeks. Why am I always so unwell?

This is due to tonsillitis.Normally tonsils disappear with age.But in some cases they do not and need to be removed(tonsillectomy).Persistence leads to infection(most commonly due to flu), swelling and blockade of Eustachian tube which further results in nose block etc and this subside on taking medication.If you are frequently facing this problem I suggest you to meet an ENT specialist and plan to get them removed.This should solve your problem.Hope this helps.Take care.
