What Causes Double Ear Infection, Bronchitis And Sore Throat?

I have had a sore throat (not Strep went to the Dr.) I have a double ear infection, bronchitis, sore throat and cough. I now have a tender area way in the back of my throat which is making it hard to swallow. and my ear is still plugged on the side that my throat is sore. it s a bit of a lump tender to the touch. Would this be in conjunction with the cold symptoms I m experiencing? thank you for your time.

Hello,

An ear infection is usually caused by bacteria or viruses. It forms when infected fluid builds up in the middle ear. When the infection occurs in both ears, it’s called a double ear infection or bilateral ear infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
