Question 1

just finished antibiotics. now hurting worse than before. bad pain in the left side of my face, ear, jaw, teeth and even my glands are swollen. owwie! yest i put peroxide in my ear and it kinda relieved it but today it hurt worse, made me dizzy.

Accepted Answer

See below: You should see someone.  It's possible the antibiotic you were on doing don't cover whatever infection you have.

Question 2

i have my left fellopian tube stuck to my left ovary and am in severe pain i have tried all pain meds what should i do should i go to the er

Accepted Answer

I : I am curious to know how you were made aware of this problem. Did you initially go to the er or your doctor for pain? Did you have a pelvic ultrasound? 
Severe pain not relieved by any pain medications definitely warrants an investigation. If you are still having this pain and have not seen a medical professional by now, i urge you to do so. You need an evaluation, work up, and treatment.
Good luck.

Question 3

had swimmers ear, green wax and severe pain. it was treated with antibiotic drops. now i have this wet, white stuff in there. looks fibrous. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Re-evaluate: Many causes of external otitis (swimmer's ear) are bacterial and resolve quickly with ear drops, but visualized white and wet fibrous objects are not expected unless you have a foreign body (usually cotton), fungi (they love moisture!) or a cholesteatoma.  I would recommend you have a doctor re-evaluate your ear.

Question 4

my ears feel plugged and muffled and i am now extremely sensitive to sound. hearing even footsteps hurts like crazy.   is this a normal earache?

Accepted Answer

No: An earache means your ear actually hurts. Does your ear hurt? Are you more sensitive to internal sounds such as that occurs when chewing or hearing your own footsteps rather than of others? If that is the case and your ear does not hurt, when considering your other symptoms, it sounds like you may have accumulated fluid behind your ear drum, what we call serous otitis media.

Question 5

right by my ears it hurts bad & i feel alil lightheaded doc checked my ears no earache what could this b?

Accepted Answer

Possible TMJ Problem: Pain in front of the ear, or sensation of pain in the ear with negative findings with your ears could very likely be due to a TMJ problem.  If you are experiencing popping or clicking, difficulty opening and eating you should be evaluated by a dentist for a possible TMJ disorder.

Question 6

i have fibromyalgia and have been getting severe pain in my face and teeth, usually on one side. it feels like toothache, earache and jawache all in one. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Dental vs non dental: Fibromyalgia certainly can cause head and neck pain.  Pain on one side can also be from a dental problem.  You need to see a dentist for a proper examination and diagnosis.  There is no proper way to do that without an exam and possibly xrays.

Question 7

my throat hurts severely when swallow and my ears. had strep and ear infection 2 weeks ago and took 10 day antibiotics and the pain came back recently?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: It is very possible that you are infected again with Group A Streptococcus.  Your doctor should examine you, do a rapid strep test and a strep culture.  If you continue to have recurrent episodes, or complications from it, a visit to an ENT doctor may be indicated.

Question 8

on an antibiodic for my wisdom tooth in severe pain now vomiting constant dizziness feeling faint is this normal? been in antibiodic 2 days not helpin

Accepted Answer

Back to dentist: You need to be seen and re-examined urgently. It might be of value to go to an ER if you are not being seen by an oral surgeon. Don't wait on this. It could be very serious. Best wishes for a successful outcome.

Question 9

my ears hurt really bad, i went to an ent n he told me they were healing. but how can it hurt more than before i started antibiotics? what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can do more: There are other medicines that your ENT doctor can provide. But let him know that your pain is getting worse. You could also use pain killers along with antibiotics. Sometimes the first line of antibiotics does not work which may need a change of antibiotics after an adequate trial of 3-4 days. Decongestant medication can also help to reduce the swelling inside the Eustachion tube, that will help.

Question 10

i've had antibiotics once now. my ears feel plugged and hurt (along with my throat) when i swallow.  it hurts to talk.  should i see my doctor again?

Accepted Answer

Sore throat-ears: Yes , it is recommended that you see your doctor again if you are not getting better.
