Hi,
I can understand your concern.
The ear symptoms during a cold episode are due to Eustachian tube blockage. You should take a combination of Levocetirizine plus Phenylephrine and put Xylometazoline nasal drops.
Take steam inhalation.
All the medicines I have prescribed will be available only by prescription.
