Ear congestion after sore throat
I had sore throat with mild fever (99 oral) and I took Cheston cold and Cofsil for three days, after consulting through practo. Sore throat was almost recovered. But then I found
my right ear congestion. After consulting ENT specialist through practo I took antibiotics for five days...still I have ear congestion and in the evening I feel mild fever and mild wet cough. I m living alone. Is it a serious problem or I can wait few days till the lifting of the lockdown situation? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
