Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ears and cough which is due to ear infection or eustachian tube dysfunction. 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 antibiotic Ciprofloxacin along with Ibuprofen. You should put Otogesic ear drops 2-3 times a day. 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.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
