Hello dear, The symptoms mentioned in your post suggests that you might be having Upper Respiratory tract infection. There is a connecting tract (known as Eustachian tube) between the nasopharynx & middle ear which helps in equalization o pressure between them. Any obstruction to this Eustachian tube, secondary to an upper respiratory tract infection, cold & congestion, can lead to ear pain. Examination of the throat using a laryngoscope will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis. Management consists of: 1. Gargle with warm salt water to relieve throat pain. 2. Analgesics like paracetamol. 3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism. 4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief. If symptoms still persist...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist. Meanwhile...avoid taking cold food & drinks, maintain adequate hydration & take soft, non-spicy foods. There is no need to worry...you will be fine. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care.
