What Causes Pain In Ears And Shoulders While Suffering With Bronchitis?

I came down with a cold over a month ago which gave me bronchitis. I went to the emergency room and got some prescriptions for antibiotics and one for pain killer. I m feeling alot better but still have coughs and mucus. They told me at the doctor I would feel pain but mostly in my ears. I never had earaches but I have pain in the back of my neck and around my shoulder blade and collarbone. It started just feeling uncomfortable but now it s getting worse. I m only 26 years old and never had problems like this before. Neither did I have these pains until after the brochitis came. Why is this? Please help! Thank you

Hello,

An earache is due to respiratory infection affecting the inner ear, acoustic nerve or eardrum. An examination with an ENT surgeon with autoscope will give the best guidance.

Hello,

Usually, in bronchitis, there are the upper airways infections too, and the otitis and nasal congestion are normal findings.
