Hello dear... All these symptoms suggest that your child might be suffering from upper respiratory tract infection(most probably viral infection) There is a connecting tract (known as Eustachian tube) between the nasopharynx & middle ear through which infection can spread to ear. Also obstruction to this Eustachian tube can lead to ear pain by un-equalisation of pressure between the nasopharynx & middle ear. The management consists of: 1. Drinking of warm fluids to reduce throat pain 2. Antihistamines to provide symptomatic relief from cold & cough. 3. Nasal decongestants to relieve ET tube obstruction. 4. Analgesics to take care of pain & fever(if any) So...it will be better to consult the pediatrician & start treatment. Wishing your son a speedy recovery. Thanks & take care.
