Hi,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

I would like to know the duration of your cough first.

The pain in your right ear is due to the blocked Eustachian tube. It usually happens in throat infections.

I would suggest you to undergo some blood tests like complete blood counts, ESR, & Chest X-ray, i will also suggest you to go for sputum examination for AFB if your cough is for more then 2 weeks. Along with the tests you should get your chest and throat examined by a physician.

Till then i will suggest you to take some anti-histamincs like levocetrizine and monteleukast tablet, expectorent cough syrup, Antibiotic course (Amoxyclav or Azithro),analgesics & warm saline gargles for 5 days at least, under physician supervision.


I hope you are not allergic to any of the medicines.

If you have anything else in your mind then please ask, i will be glad to answer your query.

Wish you good health.

Thanks & Regards
Dr. Shiv
