What Causes Ear Pain, Cough And Congestion?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My 4 year old son had croup about two weeks ago and still has some coughing and congestion. Last night he woke up complaining his ear was hurting him and he was restless. I remember him blowing his nose hard earlier last night and I guess he hurt the same ear cause he said ouch and touched his ear right after blowing his nose, so I m wondering if maybe it s possible for the pain to be from him blowing his nose too hard or if it s really from an ear infection.

Hello
it could be due to ear infection.
Start ibuprofen along with some good antihistamines for allergy.
And if needed like if their is ear discharge ,start oral amoxicillin
