Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat With Ear Ache And Cough
I have had flu symptoms since March sore throat,earache and irritable cough over the months from march. It goes straight to my chest and I couh up dark green thick lumpy phlem.
I have had 4 lots of antibiotics and have also sought the advise of a natrupath and had all sorts of treatment from her she did say that when I was out in the wind/cold to ensure I had a scarf on.
Last saturday night we were at a function and it was bitterly cold (outside) and my throat was exposed and very very cold the next day I have this pesky flu? back again

Hi,
Understanding your concern. Sore throat with ear ache and cough is due to spread of infection from respiratory tract to eustachian tube leading to eustachian tube dysfunction. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests and otoscopic examination and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Do warm saline gargles. Take steam inhalation. Take antiallergic medication such as Levocetirizine. Take proper course of antibiotic along with mucolytic agents.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
