What Causes Sore Throat, Clogged Ears And Headache?

I hit my head 3 days ago and saw a doctor who told me I had no signs of neurological damage. I now have a sore throat, my ears feel slightly clogged and I've been having slight ice pick headaches on the left side of my head which I haven't had in years. Any thoughts

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your symptoms you are suffering from Viral Infection causing sore throat, clogged ears and headache. Headache & clogged ears are due to sinusitis(infections of sinus) & otitis media (infection of middle ear) associated with it.You can do following remedy & treatment:-
1.Salt Water Gargle- Mix 1 tsp of salt with warm water in a glass. Gargle for roughly 15-20 seconds and spit out. You can repeat this as needed for 2-3 days. Remember to spit the water rather swallowing it.
2.Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen/acetaminophen it will reduce pain & swelling.
3.You should also take antibiotic like Augmentin/Azithromycin also, As there may be secondary bacterial infection associated with it also.
4.Drink plenty of water & Take rest.

You will start improving in 3 to 4 days..

Hope this information helps.
