I started with just a sore throat and headache, next day my neck was very stiff and hurt to move. I thought I had normal mucus building up where I had to clear my throat non stop but when it came to my nose I couldn t blow it out but otherwise my nose was not stuffy and could breath fine. I ve tried mucinex d, Tylenol severe head and cold and it did not help, if I tried to clear my throat I gag and can t seem to swallow it either. Day 3 I started getting nausea on top of it all, I finally did start sneezing it hurt, felt like when you sneeze hard and you plug your nose your ears hurt from it but I did not plug my nose, and nothing came out. After two days of my ears hurting today I sneezed what doesn t appear to be normal mucus, it is really thick, bloody kind of looks like a chewed up piece of steak with fat in it and feels almost like skin texture doesn t come apart. I have been having sharp pains in my left ear after it happened and when I drink anything it feels almost like the fluid is going to come out of my ear. I m not sure what could be wrong or what to do. Any advice will help. Thanks
