Can A Swollen Palate With Ear, Sinuses And Head Pain Be Treated?
I have had a swollen palate for 4 days now, the pain has moved to my ears, sinuses, and head, near my temples. I have no fever or post nasal drip. I have no cold or other viral infection symptoms. The pain is excruciating and I cannot sleep. Ibuprofen and Advil does nothing for the pain as well as steam, tea, honey, and other various home remedies.
