General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi,
You seem to have allergic bronchitis causing constant irritation airways with mucoid sputum. While learning your throat possibly your eustachian tube was stressed & inflamed to cause ear problem. I would suggest anti-allergic like Verizon's over the counter after dinner / tab. Derriphyllin with your cough medicine along with saline gargles, vapor inhalation to sooth airways. If no relief in 4-5 days consult your physician for antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
