What Is The Treatment For Sore Throat And Ear Infection?

Hi I have had a sore throat and earach 3 days. I was achy the last 2 days, but not this morning. I started losing my voice the evening of the first day and it was gone by the end of the day yesturday and still gone today. I started coughing up green phlem this morning. It is yellow dust season in South Koera and some Koreans think that makes people sick. I m American and the other Americans I ve talked to over here are skeptical of this. I am a 23 y/o female.

Hello,

Yellow dust known to cause allergic conditions which may be flu like symptoms including cold, sore throat, laryngitis & asthmatic bronchitis etc.

Not all people are allergic. So people of your race you talked may not be allergic or sensitive to yellow dust but you could be.

General advice:

1. Use face mask
2. steam inhalation
3. warm saline gargles
4. avoid allergens
5. observe vocal hygiene.
6. drink plenty of water

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. HIMANSHU DHANAK
