Hello,

As per your query you have symptoms of pain in the ears and white mucus in a cough which is due to respiratory tract infection leading to ear infection through eustachian tube.

I would suggest you to visit Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and start treatment after proper examination. Get all the lab tests done and examination with otoscope. You should take proper rest and apply warm compresses on external ear. Try to avoid pricking it with any sharp object. You should avoid sleeping on this side. You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin along with Ibuprofen. You should put Otogesic ear drops 2-3 times a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
