I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.

View allI'm having this annoying throat pain, and my doctor prescribed Augmentin 625. Do you think it'll help with the pain I feel when swallowing?
Augmentin 625, a combination antibiotic of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, can help cure throat pain caused by bacterial infections such as strep throat, but if your throat pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor to rule out other causes, such as viral infections or other conditions.

I'm currently taking Vertin 8 mg for decreased hearing in one ear and have been on it for over a week now. I've just been prescribed Dolo 650 and Aziwok 500 mg and was wondering if I can take all of these together at night after eating. I also take a half tablet of Nexito 5 mg in the morning. Is it safe to combine all these medications? Are there any interactions I should be worried about?

I'm really concerned because I've been able to see my epiglottis for about a month now, and it seems like it's sitting really high. I'm not having any issues with breathing, swallowing, or speaking, but I'm still worried about why this is happening. Will it go away on its own, or is there something I should be doing to help it get back to normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
You may be experiencing epiglottitis, which is inflammation of the epiglottis. In adults, epiglottitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment. Antibiotics such as Ceftriaxone or Cefotaxime may be prescribed to treat the infection. In severe cases, hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics may be necessary. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and management of your condition.
