Like 90% of common colds are VIRAL.
Thus, 10% of common colds are BACTERIAL.
By taking antibiotics for the common cold, chances are that you are just degrading your immune system.
Instead of seeing your doctor you should have given attention to:
#1 your sleep habits [rejuvinate your body]
#2 hygiene habits [hand-washing]
#3 your nutrition habits.
#4 your hydration habits [flush out impurities].
#5 how you handle mental stress [stress lowers the immune system]
#6 how you handle environmental stress (it is stress on the body to go from a real warm place to a real cold place.
Now that you've caught the viral bug, get a lot of rest, drink a lot of water, eat healthy, stay out of the cold and if you wish, go to your local pharmacy and purchase an over-the-counter cough suppresant. It is my guess that when your cold symptoms run their coarse, your ear will stop hurting.
Hope this helps you.

Normally, you just need to stay in bed for a few days and let it clear up on its own. That way, it will make your immune system used to fighting its own battles instead of relying on drugs. This will prevent it from happening again. Because the immune system will become stronger against the infection.
go back to the doctors,your could try some olive oil drops in your ear,rub your ear a little and then have a hot shower to release some pressure.goodluck
I still don't get why people who are in pain, or notice someone else in pain....or even notice something wrong with their pets, consult the world of yahoo answers before a proffesional. If you think there is something wrong with you, go to see a doctor! The possibly bad advice you get on here is not worth risking your health over.
If an inner ear infection is left untreated then it can become quite serious. Get to your doctor now and let him/her know what's going on.
hope you get better soon.
Use sweet oil. It is a derivative of olive oil. It contains vitamins A and E as well as beta carotene...all harmless ingredients with good healing properties. A few drops of sweet oil introduced by a dropper should do the trick. You might want to place a small amount of cotton in your ear to catch any out-flow of oil.
Garlic oil is also reported to sooth an aching ear...put a few drops in the same way.
