Ive had malaise for about 2 months. Had swollen gums and ear pain. Had teeth cleaned. Helped a bit. 2 weeks later had salivary gland infection prescribed Amox-clay 850mg 3 days after finishing medicine a new infection ear and throat swollen glands now on mew antibiotic cefdinir. Getting frustrated. Is this all related?
Hello, Ear pain is due to ear infection and as it is happening again it can be due to the lingering infection or recurring ear infection. Ear infection can also cause throat infection as ear and throat are related to each other via ear canal or Eustachian tube. So, my suggestion is to consult an otorhinolaryngology and get evaluated. An ear examination should be done to rule out the cause of recurring infection. For now, continue the antibiotic and can also use antibiotic ear Chat Doctor.  You should also start massaging the gums with chlorohexidine gel to reduce gum infection. Do warm saline gargles. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
