Suggest Treatment For Slight Pain In The Right Ear
Hello Doctor, I feel a irritation in the upside portion of my throat, may be due to the sputum which has been stuck there. There is slight pain in my right ear and head seems heavy. I feel as if my throat has swollen but it actually does not look like that. What should I do?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Here you can have acute upper respiratory tract infection along with post nasal drip and secondary ear affection
Your physical examination should be done along with posterior pharynx examination..
For congestion relief decongestant like phenylephrine can be prescribed...
Salt water gargle done three times a day
Hot water used for drinking
CBC can be done and if eosinophila present than for allergic inflammation fexofenedine can be prescribed
Otoscopy ear examination done to rule out otitis
Take care
Consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination
