Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

This could be acute otitis media. That is acute infection of ear, could be secondary to common cold.

I recommend the following.

1) A course of antibiotics.
2) Analgesics like tablet paracetamol for pain relief.
3) Oral decongestant like tablet levocetrizine with phenylephrine.

You will be fine.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.

Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS
