Why Having Sore Throat And Fluid In Ear After Chest Infection And Tonsillitis?
Hi, aboutv5 weeks ago I had just a normal cold, 2 weeks later I was diagnosed with a chest infection and possible tonsilitus, I was given antibiotics, which cleared my chest but 3 weeks on my throat is still sore and I have fluid in the ear. What are the possible causes and should I see my gp?

You may now have a sinus infection with postnasal drip so, yes, see your doctor for an exam and possibly another round of antibiotics
