Why is my severe throat and ear pain when swallowing not improving, especially at night, despite taking prescribed Combiflam twice a day and using Betadine gargle 2%?

Asked by Male, 31 · 6 hours ago

When throat pain radiates to your ear during swallowing, it often means the inflammation is intense. While Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol) helps reduce pain and Betadine (povidone-iodine) targets surface germs, they might not be enough if a deeper bacterial infection is present. Pain often feels worse at night because swallowing slows down, leading to dryness. Please stay well-hydrated with warm fluids. I highly recommend consulting your doctor soon; you may need a targeted treatment, such as antibiotics, to properly heal.
