Can my ear pain be due to cold and cough?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Ear, nose, and throat are all connected through a common tube, so whenever you get an infection of one and do not get proper treatment, there is a possibility of spreading the infection to another part. As you have been suffering from a cough and cold for the last few days, the ear pain might be due to the cold. As you did not mention your previous history of allergies whether you have any issues like nasal polyp, DNS (deviated nasal septum), or some other problem related to the ear previously this may affect your treatment. Coming to your present complaint. As you have already taken medicine for cold and cough if you have taken it for seven to ten days for a complete cure, ear pain might be associated with it. I suggest you can consult a nearby physician for ear pain. If it is mild and only due to a cold then he will prescribe you a simple painkiller to get rid of it. If he finds it severe then he might do a local examination. But ear pain due to cold will get relieved within one to two days as your cold relieves.

I suggest you to follow the following:

1. Take syrup. Septilin two tablespoons twice a day for two weeks along with your previous medicine. It will boost your immunity and helps in curing cold faster.

2. Along with this take soups, drink lukewarm water, have a light and healthy diet, and keep yourself warm and covered.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For more queries, you can consult me at icliniq.com.
