Hello
It seems from the history that you are having cold with sore throat and difficulty in hearing.
These symptoms indicate upper respiratory tract infection. Difficulty in hearing is probably because of closure of eustachian tube.
The treatmen is by use of antibiotics, antiinflammatory drugs and decongestants.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
