I'm really worried because I woke up this morning with a sore throat and noticed that my uvula seems longer than usual. Is this something I should be concerned about, and what can I do to get my uvula back to normal?

I'm using otomize ear spray for an ear infection, but after a few days, it doesn't seem to be helping. It's still really painful, and now my neck glands under the infected ear are swollen and tender. Plus, I've developed a sore throat. Should I consider making an appointment to see if they could give me a different prescription?

Hey, I've been having this weird jaw pain right at the hinge, and I think it's a bit swollen, but only on the left side. I just had some dental work done on that side because of a cavity, and now it hurts to open my mouth wide. This all started last night, but for about five days before that, I'd wake up with a sore throat, a runny nose, and mucus. Strangely, during the day, I feel fine, but at night it all comes back until morning. There's also this occasional ringing noise in my left ear, like a beep, and it's around 814kHz or something. It's more obvious when I cover or muffle my ear. Any idea what's going on?
