Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from ear and throat infection and the symptoms of earache, headache and cough and phlegm seems to be due to it..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Otoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, antibiotic and analgesic ear drops, cough expectorant containing Gueifenesin and also do warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods and sip on plenty of warm water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
