Also behind my right ear is painful to touch and feels pressurized. my throat is sore, and I am coughing. I have been using steam, taking sinus mess and drinking water. Thank you. louiseq

Hello,
Most of what you have sounds like a cold virus. Those usually clear up on a week to ten days. The only part that is concerning is the tenderness behind the ear. This could be an infection in the mastoid bone. It is best to see a doctor and get this checked out. You may need antibiotics.
