Brief Answer:
Pain behind the ears may need ENT/neurologist consultation.

Detailed Answer:

Hello XXXXXXX

thanks for posting your query on HCM.

The pain behind the ear does not appear to be related to the chest infection that she had. It should pass off soon but if persists, you may have to consult an ENT specialist or a neurologist to rule out nerve pain.

Yes, cough and listlessness should also pass soon. It could be allergic in nature and you may try a tablet of montair lc daily if cough persists.

Give her healthy diet and she should take rest. Should be all right soon.

Take care.
