Throat (nose/ear) infection?!
Question: Throat (nose/ear) infection.?
It started out with my throat and nose being very dry. Then my nose began to be stuffy but dry at the same time and in the morning whenever I blew my nose it'd be all this yellow infection stuff. When I cough and thing up, it'd be the same. I also realized that my left ear is stuffed up. I'd go and try to pop it (chewing gum, yawning, etc) it wouldn't pop.

Answers:
Sounds like you might have an ear and/or sinus infection that is draining into your throat. You may need to see a doctor for antibiotics to clear it up. In the meantime, drink plenty of fluids, try hot tea with honey. You could also try a saline nose spray to keep your nose moist. And a warm, moist heat pack to the affected ear and that side of your face. (I wet a washcloth and put it in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Be careful taking it out, because it will be hot!) When you are lying down, make sure the affected ear is up, so any fluid behind your eardrum will drain into the back of your throat. Otherwise, it will press against the eardrum and be more painful. Take tylenol or ibuprofen for pain.Health Question & Answer
