Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection and earache is due to ear infection secondary to cold.. As it is a viral infection it will resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body.. As of now you can start with supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like: -Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a luke warm solution.. -Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Ambroxol and anti allergic levocetrizine and another combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen.. -Take cough expectorant containing Gueifenesin and cough suppressant containing Dextromethorphan. -Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily.. -Do steam inhalations.. -Avoid spicy and chilled foods.. There can also be secondary bacterial infection so take higher antibiotics like Augmentin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
