Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
It's possible that you have an ear infection or a lung infection. It may be viral or bacterial. A wbc count would be helpful in this direction.
If possible see a doctor and have yourself examined and investigated as you would require an antibiotic if it is a bacterial infection. In most countries antibiotics are prescription medicines and the doctor will prescribe appropriately. Cefuroxime ( Zinnat)is a commonly prescribed and effective antibiotic in such conditions.
Do get back to me if you have further questions
