Hi Thanks for posting on HCM That sounds like an upper respiratory infection.Most respiratory infection are associated with ear pain or ear infection given the communication between your ear and throat through the Eustachian tube.Most of these infections are of viral origin and will need only symptomatic treatment.However, bacteria infection is also possible.Apart from infection, the symptoms could also be caused by allergy.I will however suggest the following: -Pain/antipyretic medication like tylenol -An anti-histamin like loratadine -Gargle with warm salt water many times per day -Avoid cold, dust and smoke -Take enough fluids If the symptoms persist, i will advise you see the Doctor to examine your throat and ear and judge the need for antibiotics. Hope my answer will help you Best regards
