I ve had strep throat for 8days now doesn t seem to be getting better,have a piercing pain In left ear,and started having chest pains yesterday. Then today I was trying to intake more solid food and on that left side I can only open my mouth so far before painstarts shooting from ear towards chin. Also I have 3plates and 15 screws in jaw on right side will it affect my hardware.I feel worse than crap.
Hi, Earache is due to mild inflammation and Eustachian tube blockade after an episode of strep throat. The chest pain is unrelated to strep throat. As of now you can try frequent steam inhalation, which will definitely help for symptomatic relief. You can consult a physician in case of persistent symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
