Will Ibrupropen Help Relieve Cold And Flu?

Have had a cold the past few says. Drainage in the throat. Lots of blowing my nose. This morning after I woke up, I blew my nose. It was stuffed, so I blew it kind of hard. Well, my left ear popped. Pain happened next. A few minutes later, the pain decreased, but now I am afraid that I hurt that ear. I am afraid that if I sneeze or blow my nose again, it will hurt more or cause damage. What should I do? I took an ibrupropen. What should I be experiencing if real damage occurred?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, in my opinion you are mostly having severe cold.
It is mostly viral infection.
Ibuprofen is good for anti inflammatory action.
But you need antihistamine drug for sneezing.
No need to worry for ear damage. It will clear once your cold is improving.
Also start steam inhalation 5-6 times a day. This will help you in stuffed nose.
Also drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Avoid hard to chew food.
You will mostly improve in 3-4 days.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
