Brief Answer:
Take combination of antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.

Possibility of Upper respiratory tract infection is more in your case.
So better to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.

1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself.
2. I would start you on antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs along with broad spectrum antibiotic like Levofloxacin or Azithromycin. Both these are available as 500mg preparation and is used once a day for 5 days. These are prescription only medicines which a local doctor can prescribe.
4. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
5. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid oily and spicy food.

Since these drugs are prescribed medicines, you need to consult doctor for the prescription.
Don't worry, you will be alright.

If not improving in 1-2 days then consult ENT doctor and get done clinical examination of ear to rule internal pathology.

Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
