Get a second opinion. Go to and E.N.T.(ear, nose, Throat) specialist. Your throat, ears and nose are all connected. If your ears are feeling clogged, it could be caused by the swollen tonsils. You may not necessarily have an EAR infection, but it sounds like the Eustachian tube in your ears are clogged. Try gargling with very warm salt water about twice a day. But definitely see the Doc. Are you on Antibiotics? If so this may clear the problem with your ears. You should consider a Tonsillectomy, my son has never had any more problems with his ears since he had his tonsils out. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

I have my ears pierce twice and it doesn't hurt that much. You will feel  a pinch for a few seconds that's all.

A perforated eardrum is V painful, but should if R sensible & careful, recover in time.\nThe itching is good, means it's healing.\nYour body may produce extra mucus 2 aid healing & this will make your ear feel full/blocked.\n\nCan U not try a decongestant?  \nWorth a go if it helps eleviate that stuffed-up-head feeling.  \nU take it easy, rest up as much as possible & I hope U feel better soon.

You probably have fluid behind your eardrum.  You may have just a cold or you may have an infection.  A doctor or ENT can look in your ears and tell you if you need to take a decongestant or not.  Try pinching your nose closed and blowing or swallowing, it can sometimes clear your ears.

You could have an infection in the tube between your ear and throat.  I had exactly the same symptoms and was eating cough drops like crazy to soothe my throat.  I was at the doc's office for something else and mentioned it.  She looked in my ears, nose, throat and at the swollen node.  She swabbed my throat but it came back negative for strep.  But, she said my eardrum had some liquid behind it and thought it was an Eustachian tube infection.  Sometimes if you have post nasal drip from allergies you'll get a sore throat, but not the swollen gland behind the ear. She put me on a 7 day course of antibiotics and it all went away.

If you were on antibiotics and didn't finish  your prescription you may have the tonsillitis again, if your ears hurt you probably have an ear infection too  (it is pretty common since the throat, ears, and nose are all connected)  Try gargling with warm salt water, that will help.  (Popsicles are a bit better for tonsillitis than ice cream)\ngo back to the Dr. if it persists!! (you don't want it to turn in to strep)

This is a common symptom of pharyngitis, or inflammation of the back of the throat.  The nerves cross-over with some of those to the ear canal, so pain in the throat can be referred to the ear and pain in the ear can be referred to the throat.  If you have pain when you swallow, it is likely the throat.  On occasion, inflammation of the throat can also affect the normal drainage of the middle ear, but the ear pain would be constant throbbing with pressure, which can be unbearable (not just noticeable with swallowing).\n\nAlthough strep throat is possible, pharyngitis is usually VIRAL, and antibiotics will not help.  Warning signs of strep throat include high (103+) fevers, body aches, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and foul breath.  Viral pharyngitis usually resolves within a few days if you tough it out.  Fevers, chills, body aches or inability to swallow your own saliva are all worrisome signs which should be seen right away.  Otherwise, you can go with a diet of warm liquids, get some lozenges, and take it easy for a few days.\n\nHope you feel better soon!

Sounds like your cold got "in your ear".  Glad you are seeing the doctor.  You may need antibiotics to clear this up.  If left untreated, it could potentially effect your hearing.  Sounds like you caught it in time.  (No pun intended).  ; )

No, my tonsils are always swollen and I sound fine singing (like in a choir).

it might be a sinus problem, or sinus infection, or ear infection, or swollen lymph nodes caused by another infection,,i suggest you see a dr,  and even consider going to an emergency room, all of those symtoms combined together really dont fit into any one problem that i know of , i would be especially concerned about the numbness and dizziness

It could be Mononeucleousis = Glandular Fever\nIt could be Depression\nIt could be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome\nIt could be due to early pregrancy\n\nEither way it doesn't simply sound like you're feeling just a bit tired, it seems your energy levels and completely rock bottom even if you sleep well (oh boy afraid to say can I relate to this)...\n\n...the reasons could be several.  If due to your new medication; maybe it's a permanent side effect of them but as you are quite new to them then maybe it's just the adjusting time?  Hopefully it's that because if it is it will soon balance itself out.  Most medications make us feel tired first (antibiotics for example; when I have to take them I feel worse in first few days and completely exhausted but that's always the case, body just needs to adjust).\n\nEither way - DO talk to your Doctor about it and seek advice; help and support - as it's not easy being exhausted all of the time, it affects your quality of life in general.\n\nGood luck\n\n:-)\n\nHannah

Tonsils are glands in your throat. If you have not had a surgery to remove them, then you have them\n\nAre you thinking about tonsilitis? Tonsilitis is the inflammation of the tonsils. You get a very sore throat, and fever. You may feel like you have something in  your throat.\n\nIf someone looks down your throat with a light they can see them swollen into your throat.\n\nIf you think you may have it, you should see the doctor. You will probably need to be put on antibiotic. Doctors are not so quick to remove tonsils these days unless the become infected frequently.\n\nIf you are concerned with bad breath, there are different causes. Are you brushing your teeth regularly? Brushing the back of your throat? using antiseptic mouth wash?\n\nIf you are and the bad breath continues, see your phycian.

You probably have chronic tonsilitis and you need to have your tonsils removed.  I had the same problem and it started when I was about 5 or 6 years old.  I only really got sick when I got sore throats and it was always big red tonsils and swollen glands.  I finally got really sick for about a year during my senior year in college.  I was sent to an ear, nose and throat specialist when I was 21 and they finally removed my tonsils and all the other stuff back there.  I haven't had any trouble since.

I feel your pain I wish I could give you some advice but since your pregnant theres not really any medication that could help. The dr. had to give me percacet to help with the pain in my ear. Mine was so bad it had swollen my jaw  and I had to actually get an iv to help with my pain. Im sorry your having to go through all the pain. Good luck with it and I hope you to a speedy recovery.

Go see a dr.  You may have some "debris" in the mastoid cavity (just in front of your eardrum).  A doctor can either "flush" it our or may suction it out.  Neither one of these things hurt, just may make you dizzy for a few moments.  More than likely that will clear you right up.

what your hearing is the release of air pockets and its normal, same with your nuckles and back for the most part its ok but if there is pain only a doctor could tell you the correct answer
