Left ear having difficulty in hearing
I've been having cough and colds starting midweek of march until now. I go x ray before and it is not tb or pneumonia. The internal doctor says she suspects that it is allergies so she prescribed montelukas co-altria medicine. But i've been using that for 2 weeks and didn't work. I consult again to other doctor. She suspects that it is bacteria. She prescribed me cefixime. I've been using it starting may 6,2018. May pleghm improves. But my left ear now is having difficulty. What should i do?

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection in this season. It can cause eustachian tube dysfunction which is reason for blocked ear. You may need to take decongestant medicines for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
