Yes, I went to the doctor. I was told I didn t have the flu or strep throat. But, had an earache, which I do have pain in my ears and was told they look a little cloudy and red. But, I also have a cough, stuffy nose, body aches chills and chest congestion. I was prescribed an antibiotic and a little pill for coughing, I seem to be getting a little better but would an earache give you all these symptoms?
