Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem so be related to an ear infection.
It is a very common condition after a cold or a flu.
I suggest to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three tablets a day.
If the pain continues I suggest to use prescribed antibiotics.
In our daily practice, I often recommend antibiotics such as Augmentin 625 mg twice a day for seven days.
I also recommend to use antibiotic ear drops.
I suggest to use a warm, moist washcloth over the affected ear to lessen pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
