General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
As you stated that there is dry cough , sore throat and pressure in the ear .
These symptoms may be due to some allergy associated with infection .
Dry cough is a characteristic feature of bronchoconstriction .
When such patient visit I advise to take montelukast + fexofenadine , once in the night .
Salbutamol syrup . Levofloxacin 10 mg / kg once in day for 5 days .
Hot saline gargles .
Since this is a prescription medicines , so for this consult your treating physician and take a prescription.
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide instant relief.
Good luck.
Tylenol sudafed and nyquil are good drugs but not working in your case , because ,you are taking for a week.
I find this answer helpful
