Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Pink eyes ,sore throat, painful ear, swallowing pain, mucous plugs in throat indicate a likely allergic rhinosinusitis and conjunctivitis. Gentamicin eye drops are good but you need supportive care for sore throat and ear pain, Advil,. salt water gargles, garlic water mouth rinses, warm comforting beverages like herbal tea mixed with honey, humidified air by using humidifier in home and room, Advil will also help with the pain of ear as well as headache. In simple words, your airways are infected involving both sinuses, ears and eyes. Allergic rhinosinusitis is the likely cause. If fever is there, get throat swabs and start oral antibiotics will help.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
