You might be suffering from acute viral upper respiratory tract infection with acute otitis media. Usually symptomatic treatment is required which is rightly given by your doctor. Hearing loss for few weeks after this type of infection is normal and usually will become normal without any treatment
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
