Painful Swallowing, Ear Pain That's Sharp. Taken Tylenol. Suggestion?

I have had painful swallowing, ear pain that's sharp and stabbing like for two weeks. No cold symptoms, no fever, smoke 7cigs a day, drink a lot of pop. No medication used except tylenol which helps a little bit.neck also feels funny like something is out of place close to the top of spine. Lost voice a few days ago for two days. Just feels like there a sharp object stuck in the left sidedle of my neck/throat. No insurance/money to see a dr.

Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

You are suffering from an upper respiratory tract infection mostly with pharyngitis.

It is caused by bacteria or viruses on some times.

Antibiotics are required to treat the infection which will lead to symptoms relief.

You can salt water gargles at home.

Consult the doctor for examination and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
