Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Sore Throat, Cough, Pressure In Ears And Excessive Sleepiness?
Sore throat morning and evening but not much during day. Possible low grade temp off and on. Nasty cough. Sometimes pressure in ears. Sleeping more than usual except at night. Any ideas. Had something similar in Jan. Lasted about 23 days. Had the big flu shot in Oct and also got pear 13. Any ideas.
Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern. Recurrent attack of sore throat with low grade fever, cough and pressure in ears is due to anatomical abnormalities like deviated nasal septum, hypertrophied inferior turbinate. Increase sleepiness is because of lack adequate sleep at night due to breathing problem due to the anatomical abnormalities. I would suggest you to have an Xray Paranasal sinuses. Do regular saline gargles morning and evening. Do steam inhalation regularly. Take anti allergic like cetrizine, antibiotic, Tylenol and decongestant. Hope it helps best. Don't forget to rate this answer and close the discussion at Healthcare Magic. Take your best care. Regards Dr Ejaz
