Sore throat, pinched nerve, muffled hearing?

Question

I've had a sore throat for a little under a week now (I've taken lemon and honey, cough drops, gargled salt water, drank vinegar...), and a few days ago my ears (mostly the left) started to sound...odd. It's not painful, but there's a sensation of a little water stuck in the ear and noises have that same underwater quality. I guess it's an ear infection, but a painless one - I hope it stays that way.

And as for the pinched nerve...It started because I sat down in a certain position a few days back and I guess it got squeezed. It's the femoral/hip nerve, as well as the lower back, where my spine connects to my hip. No matter how I sit or lie down it hurts, and walking isn't pleasant either.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

these both sound fairly benign problems, they will get better hopefully soon, do see a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen or if new symptoms develope, good luck
