Hi Dear ,

As per your query you are suffering from sore throat and cough along with ear pain . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as otitis media . Sometimes when infection like sore throat which can occur due to bacterial or viral infection left untreated or due to low immunity , spread to ear through eustachina tube . I would suggest your to consult ENT specialist without any delay otherwise infection can spread to middle ear and inner ear . Doctor will examine ear with otoscope , order blood test , CT scan and throat swab test . Doctor may prescribe anti viral or anti bacterial drug depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and cover your ear while bathing .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
