I have had a throat infection for 4 days along with ear pain and heaviness in my ear, what medication should I take?

Asked by Female, 28 · 3 days ago

Your ear pain and heaviness are likely due to referred pain from your throat or congestion blocking your Eustachian tubes. To help manage the discomfort, you can take over-the-counter paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain relief and inflammation. Using a saline nasal spray or steam inhalation can ease ear pressure, while warm salt-water gargles will soothe your throat. Since your symptoms have persisted for four days, please consult a doctor. They can examine your throat and ears to determine if you have a bacterial infection that requires prescription antibiotics. Please avoid taking antibiotics without a doctor's prescription.
