“Ear and throat pain”
I had very bad ear infection in my right ear. Was given ear drops, a decongestant, and an antibiotic. It has been a week and I am finished the antibiotic and still cannot hear out of my right ear at all. There is constant ringing and sometimes pain. I also have a very bad cough and my breathing sounds not normal along with it being kind of hard to breathe.

A middle ear infection can leave residual fluid in the middle ear for up to 30 days. this will impact your conductive hearing. I would suggest getting an audiogram to evaluate your hearing and make sure you do not have any sensorineural hearing loss as a result of your infection. this would be needed to be treated with oral steroids as soon as possible if your do have SNHL present.
