Dear Friend

Welcome to HCM.

I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.

Pain in ear is not a symptom of dengue.

He might be suffering from:
1. Acute Tonsillitis/ Pharyngitis
2. Ear Infection- Otitis Media.

I would advise you to get it evaluated by a doctor, if required antibiotic like Augmentin would be started.
Till then continue cold sponging and Pracetamol as on when required basis.

This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.

Stay Healthy
