Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat and mild ear pain which seems to be due to left over upper respiratory tract infection leading to eustachian tube dysfunction. Need not to worry. Apply warm compresses on external ear and take ibuprofen for pain. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after thorough examination. You should get otoscopic examination done. Take proper course of antibiotics such as Levofloxacin along with antiinflammatory medication such as Levocetrizine. You should maintain complete oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day. Put otogesic ear drops. Avoid pricking ear with any sharp object.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
