Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Ear Pain
Why do I have a sore throat/neck , slight ear pain,soreness on the roof of my mouth ,tongue & jaw after a night of heavy drinking? The symptoms have been here for 6 days now. I have had this feeling in the past after drinking too much but it never lasted more than a day or two. I have been taking ibuprofen to ease the pain.
