Ear Ache + Mild Flu...should I Go to the Doctor? Posted: 05-29-07 12:21pm
I've had the flu for the last few days,
(head ache, achey body, fever, dry cough,
runny nose, sore throat, etc) and it's
been mild, so I've been able to deal with
it. (drinking fluids & extra strength
tylenol).
My only concern is that I also have an ear
ache, which actually started in my left
ear(yesterday) and is now in both my
ears(today). The insides of my ears hurt
when I swallow too hard, or cough. They're
also very plugged up.
I'm debating on whether or not I should go
to the doctor for my ears. If I remember
correctly, usually when you have an ear
ache or infection you're supposed to get
it checked out right away, right?

Take some decongestant for your ears and
set up an appt with the dr. Hope you get
to feeling better!
