Suggest Treatment For Ear Infection, Cold And Sore Throat
I had a n inner ear infection that didn't seem to go away even after anti-biotics. Next it seemed like just a bad head cold, but now it's been ten days of awful post nasal drip which has me waking up with a sore throat every morning. How do I get rid of the post nasal drip that doesn't seem to want to go away? I have been using both soda fed and mucin ex per the Dr.s instructions.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ear infection, bad cold and sorethroat which seems to be due to left over upper respiratory tract infection which is leading to eustachian tube dysfunction which leads to build up of negative pressure inside ear. Need not to worry. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should get otoscopic examination done. You should take proper course of antibiotic ciprofloxacin along with antiinflammatory medication Sinarest. Avoid touching or pricking ear. You should maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
