Hi, thank you for your query at Healthcare Magic.
Your complaint is correlate with infection which known by your sore neck. Our nostrils have an estuary in the throat. So it is with our ears. The ear is connected by the throat through a channel called eustachius tubes. This channel serves to neutralize the pressure on the middle ear to be equal to outside air pressure.
When we are flu, then our airway mucus production will increase. Increased production of this mucus can cause a blockage in the eustachius tubes. This if not treated immediately can trigger the occurrence of ear infections, as well as other complaints such as ear pain, a sense of fullness or ringing in the ear, and vertigo. Fluid or mucus accumulation in the tuba is an ideal place for bacteria to breed. The accumulation of fluid will disrupt the function of the tuba to balance middle ear pressure. Over time the pile of fluid will increase the pressure in the ear and can damage the eardrum, this will cause great pain in your ears.
The way to overcome this is to treat the cause, in this case flu or infection of the respiratory tract. When the flu symptoms subside, most of the symptoms of the ear also subsided, unless the respiratory tract infection is untreated for a long time and has already caused an infection in the ear, so different treatment is required for the infection in the ear. We recommend that you immediately go otorhinolaryngologist to treat your condition.
Take care.
