I have been dealing with a ear and throat issue for a while. The doctor put me on antibiotics when my right ear was sore, and the right tonsil was inflammed. Lymph nodes in the neck on the right were also inflammed. Two round of antibiotics later and I felt fine. That lasted for a couple of weeks, but the symptoms returned this time on the left, even a little more intense. Sharp intermittent pains in the left ear and left tonsil, constant soreness of left tonsil, sinus drainage from left sinus. Throat culture came back negative for any strep. Antibiotics perscribed, and have gotten some better but pains and tonsil soreness linger. Sweet taste in left side of mouth, soreness in jaw muscles, and a couple of lymph nodes still tender. Last antibiotic pill tomorrow.
