Hi thanks for contacting HCM... Here you could have respiratory infection like bronchitis associated with otitis that is ear infection... Get your ear exqmined by otoscope... If reveal red tympanic membrane then infection of ear can be there... Full course of suitable antibiotic needs like amoxycillin... Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil added in water taken for 2 to 3 times a day... More water... Spicy and fatty , fried food taken less as they aggravate phlegm... Take one glass boiled milk and add one tsp turmeric powder and black pepper seed and then mix 2 tsp honey......mix well and take it for few days for congestion relief... If still no benefit consult physician for proper examination and accordingly investigation... Take care.... Dr.Parth
