HELLO AND WELCOME TO HCM.
YOUR EAR IS PROBABLY BLOCKED DUE TO YOUR SORE THROAT. YOUR THROAT SYMPTOMS HAVE SUBSIDED BUT YOUR INFECTION HAS EXTENDED INTO YOUR EAR VIA EUSTACHIAN TUBE (WHICH CONNECTS EARS TO THROAT). HOWEVER IT MAY SIMPLY BE DUE TO WAX IN EAR. BUT PROBABILITY OF FIRST ONE IS MORE AS YOU HAVE H/O SORETHROAT. YOU NEED TO GET YOURSELF CHECKED CLINICALLY FOR FURTHER EVALUATION SOTHAT MEDICINES CAN BE STARTED. TILL THEN YOU CAN START TAKING STEAM INHALATION. THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU.
