Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having Allergic tracheo-bronchitis.
There is a connecting tract (known as Eustachian tube) between the nasopharynx & middle ear through which inflammmation can spread to ear.
Management includes:
1. Gargle with warm salt water to relieve throat pain.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Antihistamine preparations like Allegra can be taken for symptomatic relief.
4. Montelukast preparations, which is used as a maintenance therapy.
5. Maintain adequate hydration & take a healthy balance diet.
6. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
If symptoms still persist...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist.
Wish you good health & a speedy recovery.
Take care.
