No, your hearing will come back. Sounds like you have a head cold, or something....
Take some advil, drink some lemonade. That will probably help the sore throat.
For the ears, either ear drops, or mix half hydrogen peroxide and half water. Tilt your head sideways and with a syringe, squirt it into your ear. Wait a minute then tip your head back up straight and empty your ear out in the sink. Repeat this step to the opposite ear.
Or, simply go to a doctor.
You have the flu bad...take some tylenol or cough medicine,try to gently clean out your left ear with a soft type of Q-tip and get some rest. Make sure to drink lots of water and maybe take a day off of work/school and just rest and eat healthy...Yes,if your throat is sore and nose is stuffy that is what a decongestant pill or syrup does..It opens your sinuses and helpes you breath. Try some buckley's or Benelyn,hope I helped and go hope in that warm,cozy bed. Bye! :)
Yes, a decongestant will help. If you can't go to the doctor to get antibiotics then drink as much chicken soup as you can get your hands on and go to a any store that has garlic and parsley pills and take 5 three times a day - Breakfast, lunch and dinner and at bedtime if you can stand it. You will burp up garlic taste so be prepared. Do this for five days.
you should go to the doctor because you might have a infection, i had one a couple of years ago and that does not feel good and the medicine the doctor gave me didn't feel good either but it cleared everything up.
if u have had it for a week without coughing or fever or yellow secretion in your throat it seems like an allergy if not it might be an infection any way a week is along time and u should be visited by a doctor specially if u have fever but salt water and washing inside your nose and throat with it is very use full diphen hydramin is useful if allergy is proved corticosteroid is useful too . pseudo ephedrine helps u . if the pain is in the lower part of your throat cold is more possible but in both upper sides can be pharengitis that needs antibiotic(penicellin)
Sounds like you have a cold, sore throat and ear infection. You could have strep throat. You need to go to the Dr. because an ear infection needs antibiotics (so does strep, if you have that too) If the ear infection gets too bad it could burst your eardrum. A decongestant would unstuff a stuffy nose but will not unclog your ear. I would not take an OTC medication in your case, I think you need antibiotics. So if you want to get better go to a Doctor. Gargling with warm salt water will help the sore throat and take Tylenol for pain but nothing is going to help the ear ache if it is infected except antibiotics.
