Why Left Tonsil, Jaw And Ear Canal Is Sour While Having Cold And Cough?
My left tonsil is sore. It doesn't sting, it's sore. When I chew or bite down on something moderately hard, the left side of my jaw, some of my ear canal, and the left tonsil all get very sore, especially in the morning. The other side of my mouth and face are fine. Also, I have a running nose and cough. I'm not sure what's going on, but the issue with my tonsils is what's throwing me off.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have painful tonsils and painful jaws on left side dont worry it can be due to throat infection also you should
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day ,
You can take medicine for that One Tablet Azithromycin once daily for three days
For painful jaw you should consult dentist it can be due to Periodontal problem may be Periodontitis or can be due to Periodontal Abcess
You should consult dentist for Oral prophylaxis , and if you wont get relief from medications then consult ENT surgeon for this

Dear Madam,
You may be having tonsillitis along with it , thats a common phenomenon and it will settle down on its own.
