My throat is starting to hurt but its not terrible, my ears kinda hurt too and every once in a while I can t hear very well out of one of them. I have a very bad head ache, and when I try to get up and walk around Im very weak and feel like I m going to pass out

Hello,
Firstly, I would like to ask:
1. is there any cough or sputum coming out?
2. do you feel heaviness in your face?
3. is there any kind of rash?
4. is there breathing trouble?
I would like to give some tests:
1. Complete blood tests
2. Blood culture for C. diphtheriae
3. CT Sinuses
4. CT Middle Ear
5. Liver Function Tests
6. Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
I would also like to suggest medications. For pain and high temperature, Paracetamol 500mg when needed.
Amoxicillin 500 mg orally, 3 times daily, every 8 hours for 7 days.
Meanwhile, drink lots of water. This thins nasal secretions and keeps mucous membranes moist.
Use steam to soothe nasal passages. Breathe deeply while standing in a hot shower, or inhale the vapor from a basin filled with hot water while holding a towel over your head.
Avoid blowing your nose with great force, which can push bacteria into the sinuses.
Post another question with the test results and a doctor will follow you up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
