Laryngitis going into right ear
Hello doctors, I'm hoping you can help me. I'm 40 and single and live in the midwest. Right now is has been below freezing temps for a week or so.I have laryngitis. My voice is very hoarse and has been for about 2 weeks. The interesting thing about it is - my throat didn't hurt at all until now. It's never been sore. It does not hurt when I swallow and cold or warm fluids don't help it or hurt it either way. I do have a cough though. I seem to cough more when it is warm and dry in a room as well as when I lay down.
The problem is now it feels like it is going into my right ear. It hurts a little now on the right side of my throat when I swallow. It's just a twinge but it's there. And I can feel my right ear starting to pulse a little. It's unconfortable only. Not a sharp pain.
I don't know if this is relevant or not but on Dec 23 I burnt my right hand in flour and oil while reaching for a cell phone I dropped into the pan of hot roux. I had 2nd degree burns on my thumb and 3rd and 4th fingers. I went to the ER and they gave me Lortab for the pain. The burn seems to have healed okay but the new skin is very pink. I'm of mixed heritage so the new skin really stands out.
I also moved into a new house on Dec 30th ending a 2 1/2 year relationship. I find I'm not terribly upset about the end of the relationship. I'm more ticked off than anything because of the total lack of respect my partner showed for me. I found out he was unfaithful and he still hasn't owned up to it even though several people saw it with their own eyes and had to tell me about it.
So there have been a lot big changes in my life recently and the burn was a little traumatic to say the least. It hurt a lot!
I haven't had anything like is in...years. I had a cold 2 years ago but just dealt with it until it went away. I know I haven't had an earache since I was about 11. I had swimmer's ear and that was the only ear problem I have ever had. I do remember how very painful it was though and don't want to relive it.
I'm hoping you can help me. After the trip to the ER I really can't afford to be sick. I was raised with Homeopathy and I know if my mom was still alive she would be able to tell me what to take. She never took us to the doctor for these types of things.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Anything which is making you feel better or worse ?
So, the Laryngitis started even before the cold wave (the weather) happened ?
Anything else which has changed since this acute started (any change in your general disposition or food/drink cravings/aversions or general preferences) ?

Thank you so much for answering!
As the evening goes on I've noticed that I prefer cool over warm. I'm drinking water instead of tea. When I cough my throat feels warm. When I arrived home from work I turned the heat down because I started immediately because the house was warm and dry. I accidentally left the heat turned up while I was at work so when I got home the house was 70 degrees. As soon as the house cooled down I stopped coughing. It's 64 now and I am comfortable. Although I have always rather be cold than hot.
.
Yes it started before the cold wave. I woke up one day and felt awful. Nose and sinus was stuffy. Stayed home from work and slept until 2pm. Felt great when I woke up. 4 days later the hoarse voice showed up.
No changes in anything else. Eating normally. Sleeping normally. Food preferences haven't changed. My staff hasn't said that I'm crabby and I have several people that have been quick to point it out in the past because it is not normal for me to be cross with people.
I hope that helps!

One thing I meant to correct is it was my left hand that I burnt not my right hand. I'm not sure how I could have made that mistake. Maybe because I'm right handed?
Again...thank you for your help!

Cough is dry ? Please describe the cough more. Anything else which makes the cough worse or better apart from what you've told ?

Yes sir. The cough is dry. Non productive if you will. Although I have had no problems with my lungs. It never feels like I am trying to clear my lungs. Just my throat. If it is too warm and dry in the room I will start to cough very hard until my abdomen hurts. It is almost like I can not get enough air when I start to cough like that and it just makes it worse. When that happens I actually step out into the cool weather or drinking cold water will sooth it some. It does not happen that way if it is cool in the room. When cool just one or two slight coughs and then clear my throat.
Throat is still not sore. It does not hurt to swallow just the slight twinge by my right ear with the pulsing.
I should probably tell you it was my right ear I had swimmers ear in so many years ago.
Thank you for taking the time to help me. I really do appreciate it!

Just a quick update. It is very late here. I am trying to lay down and sleep for the night. I got into bed and lay on my left side and started to cough very hard. Cough is hot. Turned to right side and cough has stopped.

I ordered the remedy and then had to take an emergency trip. The remedy arrived while I was gone. I was able to take the Coccus Cacti today. I took one dose as prescribed at 8am and a 2nd dose at 10am and 3rd dose at 12pm. The cough is MUCH better now. Thank you! I'm not coughing at all now. I've been in the office all day and it is very warm and dry here and usually the warmth would trigger the cough. It's 4:30pm and I find that I'm quite comfortable. Voice is still hoarse. I'm hoping that will improve with time.
Again thank you!
