What Causes Dry Cough, Breathlessness And Numbness In The Ear?

I have a few symptoms: I have had a runny nose and dry cough for 2 days. I lost my voice yesterday and was slightly hard to breathe last night. Tonight I have numbness in my right ear with throbbing pain as well as numbness on the right side of face/lip and am still having the dry cough.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough, breathlessness and numbness in the ear which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to eustachian tube dysfunction. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should take cough expectorants. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest X-ray done and start treatment after proper diagnosis have been made. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
