Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe cold flowing to the ears which seems to be due to Eustachian tube dysfunction leading to creation of negative pressure inside ears. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures.
- Do warm saline gargles along with nasal steam inhalation.
- Avoid cold carbonated beverages and spicy and oily food.
- You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin you are not allergic to it along with Ibuprofen and Loratadine.
- Put Otogesic ear drops 2-3 times a day.
- Take proper rest.
- Try to avoid excessive use of mobile as it will put more pressure.
If symptoms keeps on persisting you should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Get all the lab tests done for proper examination.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
