Ok this is my third time asking this.
I haven't gotten any answers.
Alright, I'm sick. A few days ago I had a fever my entire body was aching, my throat was and still is hurting pretty bad, and I had a bad headache. So that was like on Thursday and Friday when I had the fever and the body aches, but I still have a worsening sore throat, an occasional headache, and now the worst ear ache I've had in a while. My ear feels so plugged, it hurts really bad. It feels like there's a cotton ball in there, I can hear out of that ear but everything is muffled. The ear thing is making my jaw injured pretty bad, and making my sore throat worse.
What’s wrong with me, and what should I do? Oh and by the way I tried putting a little hydrogen peroxide in my ear but that didn't help at all.
Thanks.
Answer:
Go to the physician. Sounds like an infection and peroxide won't fix it.
Answer:
Your ears, nose, and throat are all connected to each other. An untreated upper respiratory infection could spread from your throat to your sinuses to your ears. You need to see a physician (a general practitioner or ENT, not a chiropractor) because you might need antibiotics, and the longer you let an ear infection fester, the more of a risk you run to have permanent hearing damage. Just get it checked out.
Answer:
What started out as probably a common cold ended up getting worse because the eustachian tube in your ear is plugged shut. The way you get it unstuck is by visiting a chiropractor. Chiropractic care can relieve the pressure that causes the eustachian tubes to get blocked. In fact, kids who once suffer from chronic ear infections usually no longer get them after getting chiropractic care.
