Hi there. I'm an 18 year old female, i don't know if That makes any difference or anything but for last 5 days I've been suffering from a very heavy cold/light flu And still have it now. I have also been suffering with very Bad ear pain for the last 4 and a half 5 days also. I haven't had any discharge from my ears, and both seem Equally bad, but have been taking ibuprofen every 4-6 Hours and now it seemingly docent do anything and I am now Loosing sleep due to ear pain, I also have a sore throat if that's Anything to do with it. Do you think I should get it checked by My GP?
