Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Ears, Sore Throat And Fever
Symptoms began on Wednesday when two large fever blisters popped up on my lower lip and the other below that. Since then feeling lethargic, and today noticed pain on right side of face with occasional sharp pain around ear, and temple. Slight sore throat on same side of throat and tenderness below that ear, sometimes in that ear, tender under chin. Feeling feverish tonight.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sharp pain in the ears, sore throat and fever which seems to be due to viral infection of body and it could be a coinfection by bacteria as well.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply petroleum jelly on lips and avoid eating sharp and spicy food substances. You should take throat lozenges, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present. Maintain proper oral hygiene and avoid cold carbonated beverages. Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.
If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get complete examination done and start treatment after thorough examination. You should go for blood and sputum test as well and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
