Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from both ear and throat pain. Why so? Please help.

Answered by Dr. Oliyath Ali

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern. The throat problem is most probably because of acid reflux or allergy, which may be causing inflammation inside the throat. This leads to a feeling of something inside the throat, and it feels like you are constantly clearing your throat. Because the nerve supply to the ear and throat comes from the same trunk, throat inflammation can also cause ear pain. I hope this has helped you. Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
