I have an ear pain thatās affecting my jaw too. It pains a lot when I eat my food. The pain started 2 days ago and is sharp and stabbing, especially when I chew or move my mouth. I can feel a small swelling outside the ear. I'm 26 years old and have taken Tylenol for the pain. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I crack my neck often as a habit, but recently I've been experiencing severe neck and head pain along with vision issues in my left eye that worsen after cracking my neck. Could these symptoms be related?

I need a doctor's note for work. My symptoms include fever, headache, and yellow snot. The headache is a one-off, dull, and not localized to one area. I am not currently using any medications and am 21 years old. I do not have a cough, but I have a little bit of yellow phlegm, no blood, no shortness of breath, a little bit of sinus congestion, a slight headache, no sore throat, and I have not taken any COVID or flu tests.

I've been experiencing stomach pain for the last two days, along with a burning sensation in my crotch, legs, and butt area for the past two months. My kids had minor fevers, and my wife has been having digestive issues. I recently took a probiotic for the first time and had a heavy lifting session on Thanksgiving. Could these factors be related to my symptoms?

I have had a sore throat, dry mouth, dry eyes, stomach pain, and a blocked nose for four years. I had surgery for a hiatal hernia but it didn't help. I've tried various medications like PPI, Pepcid, and Tums without success. I'm currently in Boston and am desperate to get better. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

I have been experiencing sharp pain in my ear after blowing my nose, post nasal drip, and a hoarse voice. I am also concerned about the possibility of throat cancer due to a small pocket of infection behind my tonsil on the same side as the ear pain. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I address them?
