Brief Answer:
You are most probably having middle ear fluid buildup or earwax collection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.

After reading your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having middle ear fluid buildup or earwax collection .
Middle ear fluid buildup is common after cold & cough . Treatment of cold & cough will decrease middle ear fluid buildup . Earwax collection is common due to regular ear bud itching into ear canal .

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
consult ENT specialist for ear examination , confirmation of diagnosis & treatment accordingly .


Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards.
