Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever and headache along with sore throat and earache which is due to bacterial infection leading to strep throat and its leftover infection leading to eustachian tube dysfunction. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene. You should take Diphenhydramine and Dextromethorphan for 4-5 days. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief. You should take you take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
