Hello,

As per your query, you have chronic cough and ear infection which seems to be due to Eustachian tube dysfunction.

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated. You should go for otoscopy examination as well to find out cause and exact extent of infection.

Do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs combination. For infection in ear, antibiotic ear drops and decongestant nasal sprays can help. Do valsvamaneuvers.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
