In fact, postnasal drip is the most common cause of chronic cough. Excess mucus running down your throat may also make you feel hoarse and give you a sore throat. If the mucus plugs up the Eustachian tube -- the tube that connects the throat to the middle ear -- it can lead to a painful ear infection.
Claudication, literally 'limping' (Latin), is a medical term usually referring to impairment in walking, or pain, discomfort or tiredness in the legs that occurs during walking and is relieved by rest. The perceived level of pain from claudication can be mild to extremely severe. Claudication is most common in the calves but it can also affect the feet, thighs, hips, buttocks, or arms. The word claudication comes from the Latin claudicare meaning to limp.
Jaw claudication is associated with some serious underlying diseases. The onset of jaw claudication generates pain in the maxilla and mandible bone during mastication which may extend up to ear. It is a symptomatic approach, but not a disease. In medical science, the jaw claudication is considered as a diagnostic aspect as it is not a common symptom and associated with some specific disorders. It occurs due to occlusion of the carotid artery.
